Heard on the Hill And City Hall Cohen, Acosta Host Driver’s Licensing Reform Hearing State Reps. Mark Cohen (D-Northeast) and Leslie Acosta (D-N. Phila.) will cohost a public hearing tomorrow on a legislative proposal to aid undocumented Pennsylvania residents in obtaining state driver’s licenses. The hearing will take place at 1 p.m. at the Lenfest Center, 3890 N. 10th Street. In the current legislative session, Cohen intends to introduce legislation similar to his HB 1648 from last session. The bill would allow undocumented Pennsylvania residents to acquire a state driver’s license using a taxpayer identification number or other documents, where either citizenship or legal resident status is unavailable. Acosta plans to cosponsor the measure.

Donatucci: Wage Inequality Study A Promising Start

www.phillyrecord.com • 215-755-2000

A resolution cosponsored by State Rep. Maria Donatucci (D-S. Phila.), calling for a study on wage discrimination in Pennsylvania, has been adopted by the State House. “It’s incomprehensible that in 2015, a woman in Pennsylvania makes, on average, 77 cents on the dollar compared to a man,” Donatucci said.

“We can’t wait any longer to fix the longstanding problem of workplace inequality. Promoting gender equality isn’t only a women’s issue. It affects us all.” HR 75 calls on the Joint State Government Commission to complete a study on workplace pay disparity and issue its findings to the General Assembly by Nov. 30, 2015. Donatucci noted, “It’s shameful that many of my colleagues will only commit to reading a study about the problem instead of instituting real change.”

Rep. Acosta, Dem Policy Committee Study Wages Members of the House Democratic Policy Committee heard from labor activists, public officials and members of the faith community on increasing the minimum wage in Pennsylvania, reports State Rep. Leslie Acosta. Acosta requested the hearing at Temple University, which focused on proposals to raise the state’s minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Testifiers urged assembled legislators to pass HB 250, a bill co-sponsored by Acosta that would ultimately increase the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.

Right now, a full-time minimum-wage worker in Pennsylvania earns less than the national poverty level for a family of three,” Acosta said. “Many workers even hold down two or three jobs trying to make ends meet. It’s time to finally pay our workers fairly and raise the minimum wage.” The hearing was cochaired by State Rep. Mike Sturla (DLancaster), chairman of the House Democratic Policy Committee. Acosta noted Gov. Tom Wolf called on the state legislature to raise the minimum wage during his 2015-16 budget address. She added more than 60% of the state’s minimum-wage earners are women, and the average age of a minimum-wage employee is 35 years old.

Tartaglione Urges Persian Gulf Vets Apply For OneTime Bonus Pennsylvania veterans who fought in the Persian Gulf Theater in the early 1990s could receive up to $525 a month for their service if they apply now for a special, onetime bonus, urges State Sen. Christine M. Tartaglione (DKensington). The payments, through the Dept. of Military & Veterans

Affairs, are for veterans who were on active duty during Operations Desert Shield or Desert Storm between Aug. 2, 1990 and Aug. 31, 1991. The deadline to apply is Aug. 31. “Now is the time for our brave Pennsylvanians who went to the Middle East to take advantage of this timelimited offer,” Tartaglione said. “The bonus could make a difference with Gulf War veterans who need assistance, and I hope it helps everyone who deserves the money.” The DMVA is also asking veterans who might have previously been denied the bonus to re-apply. New applications are required to reopen a claim. The bonus pays $75 per month for qualifying, activeduty service members, up to the $525/month maximum. For detailed instructions on how to apply, visit www.persiangulfbonus.state.pa.us.

Lt. Gov. Stack, Tony Danza Push Education Investment Highlighting the importance of investing in education, Lt. Gov. Mike Stack joined actor Tony Danza at Fox Chase ES in Philadelphia, where they read to students and talked about the importance of a well-funded publicschool system. “It’s great to visit a classroom with young students and help them experience the joy of reading. We appreciate Tony Danza returning to

Philadelphia and underscoring again the importance of education,” Stack said. Danza once taught in the Philadelphia public schools. Stack also pointed out that Philadelphia, like other school districts in Pennsylvania, has been strained by state funding cuts, but that Gov. Tom Wolf has proposed a major step toward repairing school budgets.

Miccarelli, Boyle Form Pa. Future Caucus State Reps. Nick Miccarelli (R-Delaware) and Kevin Boyle (D-Northeast) have joined to form the Pennsylvania Future Caucus. Working with the Millennial Action Project, the Pennsylvania Future Caucus will seek to form a bipartisan coalition of political contemporaries in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives that are dedicated to finding common ground solutions to the problems facing the Commonwealth. Miccarelli and Boyle will cochair the Pennsylvania Future Caucus and hope to recruit their Millennial Generation colleagues to join them in this new caucus. Both lawmakers have cited the need to bridge the political divide and work towards engendering a spirit of teamwork in the Pennsylvania House as a means to end the partisan gridlock that often stalls legislation in the chamber.

McCabe Expands Roots, Now Running For Judge by Cassie Hepler Public service is a family tradition for Chris McCabe. Currently he practices law at Jacoby Donner, PC, which specializes in government contracts. “It’s a construction-law boutique. Most of my clients are contractors doing public work for the City, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, school districts, townships, construction law, litigation, etc.,” he said. “But before that, I worked with the City of Philadelphia in the Solicitor’s Office for 13 years.” Following in his family’s footsteps, McCabe is a graduate of St. Joseph’s Preparatory School (1979), Georgetown University (1983) and Temple University James E. Beasley School of Law (1986). After Temple, he clerked for two years with a judge on Superior Court, Donald Wieand. He has been a resident of East Falls since 1998 and a resident of Philadelphia since 1990. “I am one of 14 children. I am number 10 and we have nine boys and five girls,” said McCabe. “Four younger brothers are also St. Joe’s Prep grads. We are mostly Irish; however, my mother’s father was a Jewish immigrant from Lithuania named Jacob Mekel. My uncle, his son, was a Municipal Court judge elected from 1974-1999 named Edward G. Mekel.” In 1988, he started at Wolf Block Schorr & Solis-Cohen LLP, where he was heavily involved in pro bono work. In 1991, he got an award from the Young Lawyers Association, the Greg M. Perry Award, given to recognize their efforts to the community. “I also traveled to Graterford Prison and work with inmates and the Pennsylvania Prison Society,” he said. “Public service is a big part of my life. I was raised in a family of faith, compassion and concern for others. When I

become doable.” Then, there is a good reason why the 13 labor unions have endorsed Martina White, states Joseph Ashdale, business manager/secretarytreasurer of DC 21 of International Union of Painters & Allied Trades. He explains, “These labor leaders all share this thought: ‘Why not use this election to send a labor-friendly Republican legislator to the State House? Another Democrat

win means State Rep. John Taylor will continue to be the only Republican legislator from Philadelphia in a General Assembly strongly dominated and controlled by the Republican Party of Pennsylvania. A win for Martina White gives labor an additional voice among Republicans.” Republicans hold a commanding 119-83 advantage in the House. Democrats might not be able to get close to the

Masino kicked off labor support for DelRicci at a breakfast rally at his headquarters attended by other labor leaders, including representatives from the Metropolitan Regional Council of Carpenters. Also in attendance was Democratic City Chairman Congressman Bob Brady. Unions backing DelRicci include Pennsylvania AFLCIO, Sheet Metal Workers Local 19, Teamsters Local 107, Teamsters Local 830, Teamsters Local 77, Teamsters Joint Council 53, Metropolitan Regional Council of Carpenters, Roofers Local 30, Operating Engineers Local 542, AFSCME District Council 13, Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local 1, Pennsylvania Association of Nurses & Allied Professionals, Insulators Local 14, United Food & Commercial Workers Union Local 1776 and United Auto Workers. Though the field has been evened out somewhat, the Democrats still hold almost a two-to-one registration lead over Republicans. But as the saying goes, in special elections, with normally low participation by voters, more Republicans turn out than Democrats. Will they be enough, however, to top even a lethargic Democratic voter turnout? That question will be answered next Tuesday, Mar. 24.

The Public Record • March 19, 2015

by Joe Shaheeli There is no question the Special Election to fill a vacancy in the 170th Legislative Dist. has earned the title “special” in many ways. It’s special when one realizes both contenders, Democrat Sarah DelRicci and Republican Martina White, are two young women facing each other, which should make some female voters in the district happy since this is the first time in local political history such a race has occurred in the Northeast section of this city. Both are known activists in this district. It’s special in that major labor unions, normally ignoring a one-seat contest, have jumped into this fray on both sides, putting their electionday muscle to use. Unlike other special elections where the outcome would normally be predictable and turnout is low, this “special” election is the first where the city’s Republican Party truly believes it has a chance to take back a Northeast Philly seat it had controlled for years until wrested from then former State Rep. and now Congressman Brendan Boyle. The GOP believes it has enough strength among Republicans and discontented Democrats to win this one. Republican leadership, now comfortably dominating the House and Senate in Harrisburg, agreed and, rather than let voters select a replacement in this coming primary May 19, called for the special election to be held next Tuesday, Mar. 24. GOP party chairman State Rep. John Taylor (R-Northeast) said, “In a primary turnout, our chances would have been slim. In this election, where only voters in the 66th and 58th are concerned, we know we have an even playing field and our chances to take back this seat

But Toomey did not stop there. He constantly worked with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass commonsense legislation. One example would be a bill which now requires the Dept. of Defense to work with state and local veteran-service providers to ensure that recently separated veterans are aware of what resources are available to them. Finally, the Senator has actively worked to improve the job climate for veterans. He again worked with his col-

leagues to convince the Dept. of Labor to create a veteranscentric job-search website. Additionally, Toomey has supported tax credits which encourage companies to hire veterans. To question Toomey’s record and well-documented commitment to our nation’s veterans is inappropriate and nothing more than a politically motivated attack.

Toomey Maligned Recently a letter was published attacking US Sen. Pat Toomey and his efforts pertaining to legislation that benefits veterans. As a veteran myself, let me set the record straight. Sen. Toomey has consistently and repeatedly stated veterans should always “be first in line for the best-quality care.” And he has backed that statement up. Not only did Toomey vote in favor of key

legislation which provided veterans with a greater say in their health-care options while making reforms at the VA, he also cosponsored this same legislation. Toomey is also a member of the Vet Backlog Working Group, a collection of lawmakers, veterans and veteran service officers that are committed to reducing and eventually eliminating the backlog of veteran disability claims within the VA.

Congratulations are due first to the way Supervisor of Elections Tim Dowling, assisted by Joe Lynch and Tom Boland, and supported by Fred Voigt, made an easy event of ballot-position drawing in front of a packed audience of candidates and supporters in City Hall Courtroom 676 yesterday. Inside a half hour, candidates pulled ballot numbers from the legendary coffee can in use since 1968. Candidates not present had their numbers pulled by Tommy Boland from the can held by Joe Lynch. In the ballot position for Democratic mayoral race, State Sen. Anthony Williams drew first position, followed by T. Milton Street, Jim Kenney, Douglas Oliver and Nelson Díaz. Republican Melissa Lynn Baily had no opposition. For City Commissioners: Democrats – Commission Chair Anthony Clark drew first position, followed by Dennis Lee, Will Mega Ashante, Tracey Gordon, Carol Jenkins, Lisa Deeley, Donna De Rose, Omar Sabir and Commissioner Stephanie Singer. Only Commissioner Al Schmidt was on the Republican ticket, guaranteeing him a return seat after the primary. For Register of Wills, no opposition was filed against incumbent Register of Wills Democrat Ronald Donatucci and Republican Ross Feinberg. In race for Sheriff, Democrat incumbent Sheriff Jewell Williams picked number-one slot over Larry King, Sr. Republican Christopher Sawyer had no opposition. New faces were lucky in the draw for the five ballot positions in the Council at Large race which drew 21 Democrats and seven Republicans. For Democratic Council at Large candidates: Former aide to Councilwoman Marian Tasco, Derek Green, pulled first ballot position. Following him were Jenné Ayers, Wilson Alexander, Allan Domb, Thomas Wyatt, Karen Gordon, Carla Cain, Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown, Lillian Ford, Joseph Guerra, Paul Steinke, Barbara Capozzi, Marnie Aument Loughrey, Sherrie Cohen, Councilman Bill Greenlee, Billy Ivery, Helen Gym, Councilman Ed Neilson, Frank Rizzo, Isaiah Thomas and Councilman W. Wilson Goode. For Republican Council at Large candidates: Councilman David Oh drew first ballot position. He was followed by James Williams, Terrence Tracy, Jr., Daniel Tinney, Councilman Denny O’Brien, Alfred Taubenberger and Matt Wolfe. Five of the 10 Council Districts have challenges. 1st Dist. incumbent Mark Squilla does not have any challengers from either party. The same is true for Councilman Curtis Jones in the 4th, Council President Darrell Clarke in the 5th, Councilman Bob Henon in the 6th and Councilman Brian O’Neill in the 10th. In the 2nd Council Dist. Councilman Kenyatta Johnson drew number one, followed by challenger Ori Feibush. The 3rd Dist. found challenger Tony Dfax King drawing number one, followed by incumbent Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell. The 7th District found incumbent Councilwoman Maria Quiñones Sánchez in first place, followed by challenger Manny Morales. In the 8th Dist. challenger Greg Paulmier drew one, followed Councilwoman Cindy Bass; and in the 9th Dist. S. Archye Leacock (blind handicap) drew first ballot position, followed by Bilal Sabriya, and Strate Rep. Cherelle Parker. Republican Kevin Strickland had no opposition. An early analysis indicates the luck of the Irish had deserted most incumbents. So the question to be answered is “Is how important are the top positions?” In a race such as this one, odds are against the frontrunners’ garnering more than 15,000 votes because of their nearness to the top. Those voters see the instructions, push five, and do so – usually the top five. In this primary, the Democratic Party will endorse the majority of its incumbents and, if the majority of ward leaders support that endorsement, ballot position gets wiped away. We see winners needing 25,000 or more votes to win.

Labor Splits Over Candidates by Joe Shaheeli Labor unions have been busy making endorsements, and with them contributions to those they are supporting. The Pennsylvania AFLCIO selected its judicial candidates in a united front. The state’s largest labor organization representing over 800,000 union workers, the state AFLCIO has endorsed Judges Kevin Dougherty, David Wecht, and Christine Donohue in the Democratic primary. They also picked Judge Robert J. Colville for Superior Court and Judge Todd Eagan for Commonwealth Court, also in the Democratic primary. “In our judgment, these candidates are exceptionally qualified in applying equal justice and dignity for workers under the laws protecting the working families of Pennsylvania,” Pennsylvania AFLCIO President Rick Bloomingdale said in announcing these endorsements. “Each has demonstrated an uncommon commitment to the values and principles of fairness and

We will work on their behalf, sharing their record of support and respect for the rights of working men and women,” Bloomingdale said. “We have a historic opportunity to elect well-qualified candidates to the most-important courts in the Commonwealth. Their success will enable us to end the political gerrymandering that has disenfranchised millions of Pennsylvanians. The importance of electing these judges cannot be

underscored enough,” Secretary-Treasurer Frank Snyder said. “Starting immediately, we will be working with our unions and our members to help elect our endorsed candidates,” Snyder added, who is also the statewide political director of the AFL-CIO. The Pennsylvania AFLCIO’s Executive Council also endorsed Sarah DelRicci, the Democratic candidate for the 170th State House seat in the special election to be held on Tuesday, Mar. 24. On the local level, the Philadelphia Council of the AFL-CIO, representing 130,000 working men and women, endorsed Jim Kenney for Mayor. “Jim Kenney is the right choice for Philadelphia. As a Councilman, he stood up time and again to defend working families on everything from prevailing wage to the right to organize. The son of a union firefighter from South Philadelphia, Jim has always focused on families in every (Cont. Page 28)

The National Association of Black Journalists, an organization that got its start here in Philadelphia and counts among its founders such local journalistic luminaries as the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Acel Moore and late 900AM WURD host Reggie Bryant, celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. As part of NABJ’s 40th anniversary convention in Minneapolis this summer, I’ll be moderating a workshop called “Doing the Write Thing: Using an Old School Skill for New School Journalism”, which will focus on tips to become a better writer, how to be coherent using 140 Twitter characters, and what NOT to say on social media. That last one is something that 7th Councilmanic Dist. candidate Manny Morales could probably use right now. Morales was flying high after receiving the endorsement of the ward leaders of the 7th Dist. over incumbent Councilwoman Maria Quiñones Sánchez. But unfortunately for Morales, his social-media footprint has imperiled that endorsement. On Monday, Councilwoman Sánchez unveiled her version of 21st Century Opposition Research in the form of a website, meetmannymorales.com. Among the greatest hits on this compilation of Morales’s Facebook posts are: Posts supporting Voter ID laws; Posts denouncing a woman’s right to choose; Pro-gun posts; Posts cheering the jury’s decision in the Trayvon Martin murder trial; (Cont.

Actor TONY DANZA teamed up with his buddy LT. GOV. MIKE STACK once again to stand up for public-education funding in Philadelphia. They read to 1st-graders at Fox Chase ES and the reviews were all positive. Danza even wowed the kids and teachers by showing them his tap-dancing ability as he sang “Tea for Two”. LISA DEELEY and MARNIE AUMENT-LOUGHREY marched in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade along with COUNCILMAN KENYATTA JOHNSON. Loughrey is a candidate for Council at Large and Deeley is a strong candidate for City Commissioner in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania needs more elected women, and running for State Supreme Court are two strong candidates, Superior Court JUDGES ANNE LAZARUS and CHRISTINE DONAHUE. They were together at LT. GOV. MIKE STACK’S 58th Ward St. Patrick’s Day party and also at the Friendly Daughters of St. Patrick dinner in Scranton. Seen at the friendly Sons of St. Patrick dinner in Scranton was power attorney JOHN ELLIOTT and VP JOE BIDEN. Biden was seated next to US SEN. BOB CASEY. Biden grew up in Scranton for several years before he and his family moved to Delaware. SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE DAVID WECHT was seated prominently in front of the VP. Wecht is running a very strong campaign for Supreme Court. The Democrats have the best chance in years of capturing the majority on the bench. With overwhelming Republican majorities in the State House and Senate, capturing the Supreme Court is crucial. What GOV. TOM WOLF can’t accomplish through the legislature, he may be able to accomplish through the court. LYNNE ABRAHAM is omnipresent around Philadelphia. She was seen at the St. Patrick’s Day party, the Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick in Philadelphia, 58th Ward Party in Northeast Philadelphia and knocking on doors for State Rep candidate SARAH DelRICCI. Those who say that the former tough cookie and District Attorney is too old to be Mayor of Philadelphia have not witnessed her energy level up close. Don’t count out Abraham, who has won more city elections then all of the other mayoral candidates combined.

Yo! Here we go again with some advice from snopes.com. When you get emails that demand you send the email on if you’re not ashamed of God/Jesus – that is email tracking, and they are playing on our conscience. These people don’t care how they get your email addresses – just as long as they get them. Also, emails that talk about a missing child or a child with an incurable disease (“how would you feel if that was your child?”) – email tracking. Ignore them and don’t participate! Almost all emails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are ways to get names and “cookie” tracking information for telemarketers and spammers, to validate active email accounts for their own profitable purposes. Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(s) to those appeals, regardless how inviting they might sound! You may think you are supporting a great cause, but you are not! Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later, with very possibly a virus attached! Email petitions are not acceptable to Congress or any other organization. Tips for handling telemarketers … three little words that work! The three little words are: “Hold On, Please....” Saying this, put down your phone and walk away; don’t hang up. Then when you eventually hear the phone company’s ‘beep-beep-beep’ tone, you know it’s time to go back and hang up your phone. Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end? This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records the time of day when a person answers the phone. This technique is used to determine the best time of day for a real salesperson to call back and get someone at home. What you can do after answering: If you notice there is no one on the line, immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times as quickly as possible. This confuses the machine that dialed the call, and it kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what a (Cont. Page 33)

EXHAUSTED after St. Patrick’s Month? The annual parade made it worthwhile. Special thanks to Judge Jimmy LYNN who was parade emcee. His magnetic personality makes the parade the most interactive ever between spectators and him, and between participants and he, himself. Everyone knows him. Regretfully, he is a good judge, not a Mayor, in the old sense, of a happy city.... OH DEAR, conservatives and GOP say Gov. Tom WOLF wants to increase taxes – and spend more! It is easy to increase spending on human services after the HORRIBLE Corbett cuts when you have hit bottom. If we have to pay a bit more, it is a sacrifice Americans are used to. Who elected Sen. TOOMEY as Secretary of State? I did not authorize him to send a letter to Iran which gives Iran an excuse to not take a deal, and keep on enriching uranium.... Did you see that editorial that called the City Democrat Party a “machine.” Most journalists have halted using that label. The party stopped being a machine years ago. FAMILY is a proper name for it. Journalists who use “machine” must be OLD in age or thinking (?). Many new voters never heard of a “machine.” How about that GOP campaign piece which seems to say that legislative candidate Sarah DelRICCI is not being honest because she owes money. What? EVERYONE OWES MONEY. The entire world is AWASH in personal debt. Del Ricci should get kudos for being like us.... Judicial candidate Chris McCABE picked up more union support (Operating (Cont.

Last Friday evening, MARTINA WHITE held a fundraiser in the Southampton Room, District Council 21’s facilities in the Northeast. The room was packed. Attendees included former Pennsylvania Speaker of the House JOHN PERZEL as well as WARD LEADERS BILL PETTIGREW, WALT VOGLER, DENISE FUREY and MATT WOLFE. A number of those in attendance were thankful the event organizer remembered the fundraiser was on a Friday in Lent and had fish on the menu. White is the Republican Candidate in the Mar. 24 special election for the 170th Dist. State Rep seat vacated by nowCONGRESSMAN BRENDA BOYLE. This district seat was held recently by Republican GEORGE KENNEY and is winnable for a Republican. White is from the Somerton area of the Northeast. She understands the importance of pubic service. She fundraises for and coaches children playing for the Bustleton Bengals. As a financial advisor, she works with many families and small business and sees firsthand how our economy’s lackluster recovery negatively impacts them. She believes the financial stress experienced by the middle class is the product of not only of bad regulation, but also over regulation. She is an honors graduate of Elizabethtown College and was captain of the Field Hockey team. GOV.

Bob Brady Invites Student Artists To Enter Congress Art Competition Congressman Robert A. Brady is inviting aspiring young artists attending high schools in the 1st Congressional Dist. to take part in the 2015 Congressional Art Competition. The nationwide art competition, An Artistic Discovery, provides Members of Congress with the opportunity to showcase the talents of creative young artists in their districts. Information about how

to apply for the competition is being made available to public, parochial, charter and private high schools in the 1st Congressional Dist. One winning entry will be selected at each school and they will be judged against the other entries in the District and one first-place winner will be chosen – this winning piece will be taken to Washington, D.C. to hang in the US Capitol. “We will also be select-

ing a second and third place winner as well. In order to ensure the participation of students in the expanded 1st Dist., charter school students, parochial school students and students outside of Philadelphia but within the boundaries of the 1st Dist. will be able to participate by uploading their submissions to Facebook,” said Brady. Students should contact Congressman Brady by e-

mail at PA01 ArtComp @mail.house.gov and these submissions will be uploaded periodically to Congressman Brady’s Facebook page. All entries must be submitted by Monday, Apr. 20. Philadelphia publicschool students will be able to take part in the competition via the School District of Philadelphia’s annual student-art exhibition at the School District headquarters.

The winning student artist from the 1st Dist. will be invited to attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the other winners from across the country in Washington, D.C. The winning artwork will hang in the US Capitol Building for a year. Second-place winners’ pictures will be on public display in Brady’s Washington, D.C. office and third-place winners will hang in his District office.

“This is a great opportunity for student artists to be recognized and for their talents to be displayed for the thousands of people who visit the House office buildings and the US Capitol,” said the Congressman. The exhibit is a favorite point of interest in the U.S. Capitol. The annual competition and celebration is one of the mostpopular events in the US House of Representatives.

“Pat has been a transformative leader of the trades,” said Ryan Boyer, business manager of the Laborers’ District Council. “He’s a bold and visionary leader that has the Philadelphia Construction Trades at the forefront of every major development in the region.”

Proceeds from this event benefits various nonprofit charities including the Qa’id Staten Memorial Scholarship Fund. Our honoree, Gillespie has, chosen the Fred’s Footsteps, a nonprofit organization that provides financial assistance to middle-class, hard-working

families in the Philadelphia region who find themselves in a crisis due to the cost associated with caring for a seriously ill, injured or disabled child, as one of the charities to benefit from the funds raised at this event. To become a sponsor or participate in any way, visit http://staten-

World Affairs ready engaged in briefings on ISIS in Iraq and Syria, Boko Haram in Nigeria, and the Iranian nuclear negotiations – major challenges all. As he sits on the Subcommittee on the Middle East & North Africa, he expects to be in the thick of things this term. Boyle attended the controversial address to Congress by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the Iranian nuclear talks, which some other Democrats boycotted. “A lot of us on the Democratic side of the aisle are quite uncomfortable with the direction negotiations are taking and are very concerned,” he commented. But the subsequent letter by 47

Senate Republican to Ayatollah Khamenei offended Boyle, who called it “a tremendous breach of conduct.” Overall, though, Boyle has found the House Foreign Relations Committee to be a relative oasis of bipartisan cordiality. He hailed the cooperative leadership of Majority Chair Edward Royce (R-Cal.) and his Democratic counterpart Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.). Boyle has been forging alliances across the aisle in other ways. He joined a group of younger Members of Congress who work out together, led by Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), who is a former professional mixed martial-arts fighter. (Cont. Page 22)

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale Philadelphia - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in

terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable preinspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal

with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-805-5106 and enter 1003 . You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

But it’s what he asked for. Boyle approached House Democrats Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) right after he was elected in November and made a bid for that committee assignment. “It was something I pushed for and was very much interested in,” he said.

Brendan Looking At The World (Cont. From Page 21) Boyle has taken one trip abroad in the line of duty, to Dubai, as part of a congressional deputation to the United Arab Emirates foreign minister to discuss joint operations against ISIS and in the Persian Gulf. His four-day trip made for a fascinating introduction, both to the complexities of Middle East diplomacy and to Dubai itself, a city as unlike Philadelphia as possible. “Our city has been growing organically since the 1600s,” Boyle explained. “Dubai is like a Manhattan that has been built from scratch in the last 15 years.” Intrigued by this hypermodern urban space, he wonders now if it models forward-thinking systems that can be brought back home. For instance, one section of city was constructed to be entirely carbon-neutral, he noted. Foreign policy demands a steady focus. Ordinary Americans, on the other hand, take a fitful interest in international events. “How much they care about these issues is totally dependent on what is going on in the world at that time,” mused

Boyle. “When times are peaceful, we focus on economic growth, social security and education – things that relate to our daily lives. However, when something goes wrong internationally, foreign relations go from ‘not on the radar’ to ‘very important.’ The awful beheadings by ISIS, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine remind us the rest of the world really does matter. Last weekend was a perfect example, Boyle said. He spoke at a synagogue in Montgomery County where Netanyahu’s speech was of keen interest; the Congressman, who is of Irish descent, also attended a St. Patrick’s Day event, where he could discuss work with the Irish prime minister to bring about a lasting peace in Northern Ireland. Foreign affairs are just one part of Boyle’s portfolio. He also sits on the Committee on Oversight & Government Reform. And every Member of Congress needs to keep an ear to the broad spectrum of his district’s concerns. Boyle said he’s up to it: “People can walk and chew gum at the same time.”

tax, the penalty is 1/2 of 1%. Now, that can impact a bankruptcy filing in several ways. If you are considering a bankruptcy filing, your bankruptcy attorney and your bankruptcy trustee will both want copies of your tax returns. Your bankruptcy case will not be permitted to proceed without those copies, so all your time and effort will go to waste if you haven’t filed your tax returns. Another way failure to file returns can impact a Chapter 13 is that the IRS (as well as other taxing authorities) will assess an estimated tax for every year that you fail to file a return. And trust me, they will estimate high. Not only can that blow your payment plan out of the water, many Chapter 13 trustees will, again, make filing the return a condition of continuing in bankruptcy. Next Week’s Question: Does a Chapter 13 debtor really have to get court permission to sell property?

by Michael A. Cibik, Esq. American Bankruptcy Board Certified Question: What is the biggest tax-time mistake that can also cost you in bankruptcy? Answer: There are a lot of mistakes you can make at tax time. One of the biggest – in fact, it is absolutely the biggest – is to fail to file your return on time. That particular mistake can also cost you if you are in bankruptcy, or if you need to file bankruptcy. The temptation not to file a return may be great. You may know you owe taxes. You may be unsure that you have all the paperwork needed to file. You may purely hate to deal with numbers. None of those are good excuses, and here’s why: The IRS penalizes you 10 times as much for not filing a return as they do for just not paying the taxes. Ten times. The penalty for failure to file a return is 5% of the amount you owe; if you file the return but can’t pay the

To improve the safety and quality of life of all Pennsylvanians, State Sen. Shirley Kitchen (D-N. Phila.) has introduced two consumer-protection measures that would ban the sale and consumption “powdered alcohol,” and lead to improvements in youth vaccinations. The sale or consumption of powdered alcohol, also known as “alcohol,” would be illegal in the commonwealth under Kitchen’s SB 588. “People should be very worried about the potential damage powdered alcohol can have in society,” she said. The Pennsylvania Liquor

Control Board voted Feb. 11 to disallow the sale of “palcohol” (pronounced: PAL-cohall) throughout its wine and spirits stores, but Sen. Kitchen wants legislative muscle to support it. “‘Palcohol’ is marketed as a lighter and easier-to-transport alternative than liquid alcohol. However, that also makes it much easier to conceal, consume, and be acquired by minors,” Kitchen said. “This is a tasteless, odorless product and it is virtually unrecognizable from liquid alcohol. That it can be sprinkled over food or hidden in just about any container makes it too easy for our children to abuse.”

Blondell’s 2 Bills Call For More Trash Cans

From Bartending To The Bench

Marissa Brumbach Her campaign office is also her home base, in the Packer Park area, where she lives with her six-year-old son Carter; her “hubby,” who has been a police officer for 23 years; and a parakeet named PipSqueak. Having worked on both sides of the court system – as a trial lawyer behind the scenes, as well as managing court lists and everything that comes through for judges – she has “a vantage point from both sides to know I could bring the same thing my old boss brought to the bench.” She would also like to see the court system become more efficient. “People come to court and I call it hurry up and wait. Justice isn’t swift and there are

frustrated patrons. Being a trial lawyer and watching from behind the scenes, we need efficiency while serving proper justice,” she said. “Civility and fairness is such an important thing for clients and court staff. People feel as though they are welcome and being treated fairly from the start, not just that the rulings are fair, but as a human being,” she said. “I believe my inspiration comes from my mother,” she reflected. “It was important that her two girls be educated at all costs – through extra jobs, loans, etc. If it weren’t for my mother and her focus on becoming an independent woman, I could easily be doing nails, but she pushed for success,” she said. “In high school, I got into entertainment and performance-arts school. But mom said, ‘You’re not going.’ I remember the day I told her I think I’m going to go to law school. She said, ‘Voluntarily?’ “There was no road paved for me,” Brumbach said. “It has always been people knowing about people to serve the people.”

Offering constituents an opportunity to learn more about important issues facing their

community, State Rep. Rosita C. Youngblood (D-Northwest) will host “Community Conversations” across the 198th Legislative Dist. over the next several weeks.

Youngblood’s next “Community Conversation” will be held: 6-8 p.m. on Thursday, Mar. 19 at Mercy Neighborhood Ministries of Philadelphia, 1939 W. Venango Street.

Heard on the Hill And City Hall

Councilwoman at Large Blondell Reynolds Brown has introduced two bills to combat littering and illegal dumping in the City of Philadelphia. The first aims to reduce littering by increasing the availability and strategic placement of trash cans and recycling bins in or within 10 feet of any business selling fresh or prepackaged food, from corner stores to large retailers. The second tackles the issue of illegal dumping by providing tenants with a place to store trash and recyclables outside their apartment unit. Given that the majority of City residents are covered by a once per week trash collection cycle, apartment dwellers without common space provided by the landlord are forced to either keep trash for an entire week in their unit, or illegally place them on the street or in the trash receptacle

shafts, allowing private parties. They fit about 10 people and can be closed off by curtains if privacy is a concern.

The menu will showcase house-made pickles, cheese boards, throwback bar snacks and twists on Philadelphia’s

favorite sandwiches (like a pimped-out fondue cheesesteak).Vegetarian and vegan options are available. An em-

phasis will be placed on local produce and cheese. Produce for the pickle program will be sourced locally

from farms in Pennsylvania and South Jersey. Cheeseboard selections will come from Valley Shepherd, located in South Jersey but also with a sales stand and small production facility in the Reading Terminal Market. “Our sandwich design is ‘Philly Street Food’ focused, to take advantage of the amazing street-food culture that we have in this city,” said Sourias. “All cities have one or two trademark sandwiches, and by my estimation Philly has over half a dozen. Our goal is to put modern ‘cheffed-up’ twists on some of these favorites.” Executive Chef Andrew Gaspar will oversee the kitchens for both U-Bahn and BRU Craft & Wurst. His menus showcase his experience in classic German cuisine and pub food that he developed from working in kitchens at the Belgian Café, Brauhaus Schmitz, Stateside and Monk’s Café. U-Bahn will pour from 18 taps at two bars with a custom tower featuring Yards Philadelphia Pale Ale, Brawler Root Beer and three draft cocktails. The 11 regular taps will all rotate based upon style, all Pennsylvania breweries, with an emphasis on German styles. A hand-pump beer engine will feature unique beers, brewed and then cask-conditioned with special ingredients specifically for U-Bahn. Brewpubs from around the state will be tapped to send special kegs not otherwise available in the city. Other drinks will include quality rye whiskeys, a Pennsylvania-centric wine list and cocktail program using local liquors and ingredients. “Given our emphasis at BRU in imported German lager drafts,” said Sourias. “It is important for all bars to support their local breweries, as the products are always fresh and it keeps jobs and money in our local economy. We decided to do Pennsylvania-only drafts so we could include some of the ‘old faithful’ German-style breweries from the Western part of the state, such as Penn Brewing Co., as well as some exciting newcomers like Bullfrog and Pizza Boy.” For boarding information, call (215) 800-1079 or visit www.ubahnphilly.com.

Helping NAACP Raise Funds (Cont. From Page 10) neighborhood because he knows Philadelphia is not truly succeeding unless everyone is moving forward. We look forward to working with Jim to create a city where everyone has access to fair, safe working conditions and a living wage,” said Philadelphia AFL-CIO President Patrick J. Eiding. Lobbying by Kenney supporter IBEW Local 98 leader John Dougherty was the effective force in getting the decision. Another plus for Jim Kenney’s mayoral ambition was his endorsement by Philadelphia Federation of Teachers President Jerry Jordan. He said, “We need a Mayor who will not only fight for better schools, but safer neighborhoods and better job opportunities for all Philadelphia citizens. We believe Jim Kenney has the right combination of energy, passion and experience to help our city realize its full potential.” To arrive at the endorsement, the PFT held a citywide referendum where educators at every public school cast ballots for their candidate of choice. PFT members selected Jim Kenney by a 3-to-1 margin. Kenney also added an LGBT endorsement this past week, and took his campaign to the Latino community via an appearance on El Zol AM. “I would like to thank PFT for considering endorsement of my candidacy for Mayor.

Great teachers make great schools and there’s no better advocate for great teachers than PFT,” said Kenney Mayoral candidate Doug Oliver, who appeared before the PFT for consideration, still says he is committed to “Educating our children. It is the single most-important issue facing the future of our city. Much work remains to be done and, when elected as Mayor, I look forward to working with PFT and all other concerned parties to create a system that provides a quality education for all of our children.” Mustafa Rashed, Oliver’s campaign chairman, added, “While disappointed that we didn’t gain PFT’s endorsement, we’re not surprised that the political process continues to march down the path of tradition. We remain undeterred in our mission to provide quality education to all children and look forward to working with PFT to make that happen. In the meantime, Doug Oliver is still seeking the support of thousands of committed Philadelphia edu-

cators who believe in a strong public school system.” Kenney has lauded DA Seth Williams’ statement he will be prosecuting alleged cases of political corruption and charging, “Lynne Abraham routinely refused to prosecute political corruption in her nearly two decades as DA. As Mayor, I look forward to partnering with DA Williams so that corruption is never again ‘business as usual’ in Philadelphia.” Abraham’s campaign hit that out of the political arena, saying, “DA Abraham’s office conducted both joint federal, state and local investigations of public corruption and also investigated public corruption by her office alone. The use of the District Attorney’s investigative grand jury uncovered allegations of public corruption in virtually every department of City Government. Mayoral candidate Judge Nelson Díaz, at a Get Out The Vote Rally for him as hundreds packed the Casa De España to hear him, told 7th Council Dist. challenger Manny Morales, “You are my running mate!”

Diaz spoke eloquently – in English and Spanish – and gave credit to State Rep. Angel Cruz (D-Kensington) and Leslie Acosta (D-N. Phila.) for their work in and on behalf of the Latino community. “Manny Morales is the change the 7th Dist. needs, “said Díaz, adding he’s “proud to give his support” to Manny Morales, who is challenging incumbent Councilwoman Maria Quiñones Sánchez in the primary election May 19. Díaz stressed the importance of unity and the ability to work together to get things done in the community. Several ward leaders, community groups and LUPE (Latinos United for Political Empowerment) were in the audience. Morales is the Democratic Party-endorsed candidate, having received the overwhelming support of ward leaders at the 7th Council Dist. caucus held on Feb. 16. Seeking her third term, Councilwoman Maria Quiñones Sánchez said she is “outraged” at not getting the support of the ward leaders in her district. She fumed, “With

no real discussion or debate, they gave Morales the endorsement. I admit I knew little of Manny Morales, since he has not been in Philadelphia long and has not been active in our community — not even the Puerto Rican community from which he comes. In my limited dealings with him, I have found him to be a bully, disrespectful of Democratic Party ideals/principles and ultra-conservative.” She has put together a website blasting her opponent at confirmed and validated. Herein is a collection of his real thoughts, which she calls “extremely troubling”: www.MeetMannyMorales.com.

James Leadership Challenge Underway Former State Rep. Harold James’ 36th Ward Democratic leadership is being challenged. A petition is asking for Democratic City Committee to recall him according “to bylaw Rule VII, Article 1, Section E.” His indictment by DA Seth Williams puts his leadership position in a precarious position. Said to be the challenger gathering strength is seasoned 36th Ward Committeeman George Upshaw. The signers are asking City Committee to strongly consider his involvement in a notorious sting operation.

Judge Powell A Democrat Judge Kenneth Powell is well known around this city and loved by both Democratic

and Republican leadership. His tenure on the bench has been through a series of gubernatorial appointments supported by the leadership of both parties. But now, in this primary leadership, voters will see Judge Ken Powell’s name on the Democratic ballot. He has switched his registration from Republican to Democrat. His reasons are listed in an ad elsewhere in this issue.

Isaiah Picks Up AFL-CIO Endorsement Democratic City Council atlarge candidate Isaiah Thomas is the only non-incumbent to receive the AFL-CIO’s endorsement for City Council at Large. AFL-CIO President Patrick J. Eiding said, “Isaiah Thomas will bring his energy and dedication to public service to City Hall. We are proud to support such a dynamic candidate.” Thomas stated, “I have received endorsements from many members of the labor community and am excited the AFLCIO supports my candidacy.” Thomas has endorsements from City Controller Alan Butkovitz, State Rep.

(Cont. From Page 28) The pledge was hand-delivered to the homes or offices of all the candidates who submitted signatures for the ballot. You can read the proposed pledge here: http://LynneAbraham.com/PeoplesPledge. “Philadelphians want and deserve a clean election, free of ‘dark money,’ outside spending, or attempts to evade campaign-finance laws. ‘Pay to Play’ has no place in our city or in this election. Abraham continued, “We must rescue our schools, create jobs, and reduce crime and poverty, but we cannot do any of those things if Super PACS and special interests are able to buy City Hall. Philadelphia is not for sale.” This pledge grows in importance as some PACs are already endorsing candidates without truly identifying who and what they are.

We cannot afford a Mayor who holds herself or her politically connected friends to a different standard of accountability than the rest of Philadelphia.” Mayoral barbs continued as Democratic mayoral candidate Nelson Díaz contrasted his consistent record of support for progressive reform with former Councilman Jim Kenney’s decisive votes against paid sick leave while on the Council and State Sen. Anthony Williams’ opposition to the very concept of paid sick leave. “When push came to shove, Jim Kenney cast the decisive vote against paid sick leave, and Anthony Williams proposed a half-baked idea straight out of the Republican playbook,” said Díaz campaign spokesman Barry Caro. “This was a key test of whether they get it on progressive values, and it’s a test they flunked. Nelson Díaz, by contrast, has a consistent record of fighting

And what of 81-year-old State Rep. Louise BISHOP, working decades introducing many laws, many to protect children, only to be taken down by a sleazy sting. What a reaction if she were cuffed! Reprehensible. The DA noted Bishop did not have a free pass because he knew her. Wait – she has NOT been convicted of anything, right? The STUNG lawmakers are all BLACK.

GOP LEGACY

Part 198/200 During the late 7O's, newly-styled interest groups emerged in Washington, DC offering policy ideas for the U.S. President. These "think tanks' became the "origin of ideas" for the Reagan administration.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COM. LETTERS January 6, 1976: "Dear Mr. Argentina (Inventor): I would be most interested in any proposal that would increase Republican votes in those that favor the conservative philosophy, especially if it would not increase production costs… Thank you for your letter and I should look forward to hearing from you soon." --G. Norman Bishop, Director of Communications July 1, 1976: “Dear Mr. Argentina: I have shown your materials to several other members of our staff. Each of them has responded positively to their tone and quality, but they agree with my assessment that we will be unable to use generic materials of this type at this time. Please feel free to send me any additional ideas you might have.” --J. Bruce Hildebrand, Editor, FIRS~ MONDAY

November 21, 1977: "Dear Mr. Argentina: I am returning the material you have left at the Committee during your visits to our offices. I regret that we will not be able to set up an appointment with Chairman Brock in the foreseeable future. I understand that you have met with Pete Teely and Charlie Black, and while they were impressed with your ideas, it is doubtful that we can use your talents at this time."

Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away. When you get those “pre-approved” letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to second mortgages and similar junk, do not throw away the return envelope. Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right? It costs them nothing if you throw them away! Get rid of some of your other junk mail; put it in these cool little, postage-paid return envelopes. Here is one of Andy Rooney’s (“60 Minutes”) ideas. Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to a creditcard company. Send a pizza coupon to Citibank. Send them their blank application back! Just make sure your name isn’t on anything you send them. You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing! It still costs them postage.

Morales told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the posts, which were put on his nowdefunct Facebook page between 2010-2014, were the result of his being hacked, something that would make more sense if we weren’t talking four years worth of posts. But it would appear some heavy hitters in the Democratic City Committee aren’t quite buying it. Former Mayor John Street has called on DCC to rescind its endorsement of Morales and said he should drop out of the race. State Sen. Anthony

He also wants to apply a 5% severance tax on shale gas, along with a 4.7 cent per thousand cubic feet gas fee, which, at current gas prices, would bring it to over 7% – one of the highest state severance taxes in the US. Is he really opposed to shalegas development? Or is he really only making empty gestures to the left? I do not believe he can get a severance tax that high through the heavy Republican majorities in the legislature. While the Commonwealth has purchased extensive lands from private landowners, many of the previous owners retained the mineral rights, so he may not be

not have a friendly attitude toward shale-gas development. GOV. TOM CORBETT, who favored drilling in the watershed, was not successful in persuading the opposition. Thus, I doubt Wolf’s opinion (pro or con) would matter either. The two bans on drilling are akin to his announcement that he was suspending the death penalty in Pennsylvania and setting up a commission to study the issue. As the Governor, Wolf has to sign off on executions. He could just not sign off on executions and not make ado about a “suspension”. Whatever his study concludes, he is highly unlikely to convince the strong Republican majorities in the State House and Senate, as well as a number of conservative rural Democrats

The Delaware River Basin Commission currently has a ban on hydraulic fracturing in the watershed. The DRBC is a fiveperson commission of the Governors of Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania and a representative from the Army Corps of Engineers, BRIG. GEN. KENT SAVRE. The ban exists because they could not reach an agreement on environmental rules relating to natural-gas extraction. As long as ANDREW CUOMO is the Governor of New York, I cannot not see the DRBC reaching an agreement on environmental rules. Delaware GOV. JACK MARKEL also does
