I think you have developed some insights in how to be a better Controller than you have in the past. I still don't approve of the decision you made to continue to pay Mariano after he had been convicted. But I agree with you that the "pay for play" culture has to end.

Ricardo Ben-Safed

He's has done a good job. I certainly wish him the best in the rest of this campaign season. I certainly look forward to supporting him and voting for him on Election Day.

Mayor Michael Nutter

Alan Butkovitz is a man of integrity, dedication and commitment. He has brought national award winning recognition to the Controller's Office. He has tripled the number of annual performance audits from two to six for a total of 31 special and performance audits that has recommended over $413 million in savings and revenue for the City.

Hon Lynne Abraham

There may be other reasons that people may be supporting Alan Butkovitz, but for me, his energetic, committed, sensitive to small and minority businesses, and courage to pave his office into non-traditional public service areas -- is good enough for me -- especially in a severely weaken economy, when we need to watch every penny, the city of Philadelphia needs to re-elect Alan Butkovitz.

Bruce Crawley

There is no question that Mr. Butkovitz takes his job very seriously. Nor has there been . . . dispute about the quality of work that he has done. In fact . . . . the only reoccurring criticism of him from the media, seems to have been that the Controller may have been quote unquote “too energetic.”

Bruce Crawley

Controller Butkovitz has done a tremendous job identifying inefficiencies and flaws in the way our government is run. He has recognized and identified hundreds of millions of dollars in potential savings that the City of Philadelphia desperately needs to make.... I commend him for his hard work, and look forward to working with him over the next four years.

Councilman Bill Green

Alan Butkovitz stands up for the tough issues. Not only people in our country, but people in Africa who are suffering at the hands of others who would abuse them.... He has proven to me he is the real deal, and I am happy to support him.

Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell

I am supporting Alan Butkovitz because I want him fighting for us as our fiscal watchdog, saving taxpayers money and making our city government more efficient.
