In a unanimous decision earlier today, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ruled that former Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney’s 2021 executive order replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day is invalid—noting that the order amounted to lawmaking without input from Philadelphia City Council and, consequently, violated the City Charter.
