This comes one day after Henon's indictment on charges he did the bidding of union leader John Dougherty, who is known for his own stalking of non-union construction sites.
Among the evidence cited in the indictment is Henon's leaning on L&I inspectors to halt work on a non-union project: the installation of an MRI machine at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
But beyond appearances, the bill would more than quadruple the number of inspectors, which would create a hiring and office space challenge.
He declined an interview request but says in a statement the bill is aimed at economic crimes and unfair practices that cost the city tens of millions in taxes.
