    How can we prod news orgs in the area to actually INVESTIGATE, ask the people involved (Johnson, PRA, et al) the tough questions and get the info out to the masses!

    There was some slight changes I think but it's the VPRC list.

    Here is what is missing in this entire conversation. Why is it that Kenyatta Johnson and his fellow ilk on council don't ever talk about RAISING INCOMES??? It's always about assuming that the city wil be poor. For god's sake, the African American leadership in this city AND btw, the entire democratic machine in this city has governed this city in a way that is about managing decline....not encouraging growth.

    KJ and his enablers have no interest in raising incomes, improving schools and attracting new business. It is not racist to call them on it.ANY politician that perpetuates poverty and race baits, whether white, black, brown or purple needs to be called on it.

    There are 5-6 members of city council who DEPEND on poverty and social disfunction to ensure re-election.....it is disgusting and it need s to end NOW.
    "So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the eighth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of City Hall, and together we shall give them a eighth of November that shall never, ever be forgot. "

    Johnson knows exactly what he's doing. He wants to throw all the white people out of his district so he can turn the 2nd District into an all-Black orgy of guns, drugs, misery and death.

    Turn into? It already was. Seems the folks there would rather have all that than have EuropeanAmericans moving in.

    To borrow a term I first heard on this forum, KJ and his ilk on Council are real poverty pimps.

    Default Please help here

    I know it may seem like a silly petition, but every time someone signs an e-mail goes out to every official running our city. 500 signatures and they will sit up straight. 1000 signatures and they will start to second guess what our corrupt councilman is doing. 2000 signatures and they will tell Kenyatta thank you but no thank you.

    As a friend and neighbor.....I need your help now more than ever. Please sign and get everyone you know to sign as well.

    When the schools and every other agency are in such trouble how on earth can this be justified.

    The best thing that we can hope for is that he continues to focus on tweeting during council meetings, rather than pass more bills.

    This. Definitely need more signatures. We're at 630 right now. If everyone who has signed already can get one other person to sign, we'll be there.


    By the way your signed petitions are also being faxed to ALL Council Offices. The staffers who are turning off their fax machines when I try to fax them will be getting a packet via certified mail.

    Because poor people need services they need to be sheltered from the encroachment of people who can actually pay for those services, of course.

    EXCLUSIVE: Council's Kenyatta Johnson Says Bart Gets It Right - Development Watch - Curbed Philly

    Johnson points to Bart Blatstein as a developer who gets it right. "He's great at going into North Philadelphia," Johnson said, "setting up scholarship programs. He has no problem setting up developments. It's about approach more than anything else, the human relationships between people."
