Mayor gives Occupy Philly 48 hours to move camp

The mayor on Friday notified members of Occupy Philadelphia that they have 48 hours to dismantle their tent encampment at City Hall to make way for a long-planned $50 million renovation project. Mayor Michael Nutter would not specify what actions officials would take if protesters did not remove the approximately 200 tents and other items from Dilworth Plaza by 5 p.m. Sunday.
