Signed and good luck.

Maybe Bart Blattstien can propose a 6 block mega project that will bring thousands of yuppies to Point Breeze. Betcha CCPB would just love that.

I posted both these articles on FB... it;s the best I can do.

Signed. Good work on this Chris.

Nah, it's not all about Ori. KJ won the election by the slimmest of margins, so the development of PB could (hopefully) mean he loses next time.

I know, but I'm pretty certain that the redistricting ensures that KJ has a tit job for life.

I know, but I'm pretty certain that the redistricting ensures that KJ has a tit job for life.

We have two more council elections until the next gerrymandering: 2015 and 2019. That means we have two chances to get a real councilmember into office. If KJ is re-elected both of those times and the rest of Council stays pretty much the same, I don't think there's any doubt that they will rig the district in his favor—probably by packing neighborhoods west of Broad and above Washington (Grad Ho, Fitler Sq.) into Squilla's district.

This is why I don't think any time is too soon to start talking about 2015.

Is Capozzi open to running again? She's very active in the community and still building a constituency, I think.

Question seconded! Although I would imagine we can only hope for now. Announcing an intent to run prematurely could be counterproductive.

The wisest thing to do in the meantime might be just to make sure everyone realizes what a huge mistake giving KJ one term in City Council has been.

Incumbents are hard to displace in this city, but as we've seen recently it can be done. I figure the current trends in PB will make it harder for KJ to get re-elected.

They do redistricting to ballance for population growth and loss. I doubt they will be handing turf off to Squilla since his district is growing the fastest of any in population. Clarke maybe, not Squilla.

Note they actually did the opposite last time and carved out Hawthorne and handed it over to District 2 for precisely this reason. West is losing population overall still so he won't be expanding more on the west side of the Schuykill. If North loses population fast enough he might hand off G-ho to Clarke.
