With just a few weeks left before city and state lawmakers recess for summer, Gov. Rendell and Mayor Nutter are pushing for new tax breaks to coax a major financial firm, BlackRock Inc., to move here - and add its 1,100 well-paid employees to Philadelphia's job base.If you can't bring 1100 jobs to Philadelphia:no tax break for you.
