Hey! Philly Voter, Supreme Court Control’s In Your Hands

by Joe Shaheeli If Philadelphia voters continue staying away from the polls on election days, it is strongly possible they’ll forever be chasing rainbows.

One of those rainbows at the end of the coming November general election presents a bounty for voters and either the Democratic or Republican Party leadership, depending on which wins the majority, if not all, of the three seats to be filed. It’s a unique, once-in-alifetime opportunity to elect three from the same party to the State Supreme Court and control that court into the next generation of voters.

Control by either party will determine the flow of decisions coming out of that court.

But more important to party leaders is the flood of patronage that goes to the party whose candidates make up the majority. That emanates from the fact many court employee hirings, save for district courts, are usually influenced by the party in control for potential placements. Then come contracts, which law firms love.

A Philadelphia voter turnout in November will determine if the Democrats win the majority. But the Democratic Party’s voters need to be educated on how important their vote is. Crucial pieces of

legislation destined to aid this big city could easily go down the drain if challenged up to the high court without a Democratic majority.

There is little to pique the interest of voters in the general election, especially in Philadelphia, where the chief arena is the Mayor’s race and we all know the lion isn’t going to eat lion-tamer Jim Kenney.

While odd-year elections are known for low turnout, the Dept. of State confirmed the dismal turnout rate in the recent primary election.

Only 1,532,756 ballots were cast statewide out of 8,032,363 registered voters, a voter turnout rate of 19.08%, the department said.

That number pales in comparison to the number of hits recorded by the department’s revamped election returns website, which launched primary election day. The department says the website recorded 2,953,060 hits after the polls closed election night until midnight. It’s unclear if that tallied “unique” visitors, the number of different people who visited the page, or simply page refreshes from a smaller group of users seeking updated returns or who clicked other links on the site.

The stats show why the

Democrats should be concerned: The three winning Democrats (Cyril Wecht with 368,532, Christine Donohue with 359,833 and Kevin Dougherty with 357,653) topped the three winning Republicans (Judy Olson with 296,563, William George with 285,107 and Anne Covey with 277,869) by roughly the proportion of Ds to Rs in the electorate.

In November 2014 there were 4,088,149 Democrats in Pennsylvania as opposed to 3,030,017 Republicans. In the May 2015 primary, Republican turnout was only slightly above the Democrats’ — 10% vs. 9%.

Remove Philadelphia from Pennsylvania and it’s another story. In the rest of the state, Ds top Rs 3,281,365 to 2,910,750 — only 53% to 47%.

With regards to Kevin Dougherty, the “Philadelphia factor” also comes into play.

Donohue and Dougherty had identical Irish names and almost-identical vote totals statewide. But Dougherty got 41% of his vote from Philadelphia while Donohue got only 17% of her vote from this city. Even without the Philadelphia vote, Wecht and Donohue got more votes than any Republican;

Dougherty did not.

This suggests an upstate “county-name drag”, an antiPhiladelphia bias, which costs Philadelphia candidates about 90,000 votes. A Philadelphia statewide candidate needs to pump his home base extrahard to compensate for that bias.

That means turnout. In the May primary, Philly voters were attracted to the polls by an intense and momentous municipal election. There were scores of competitors trying to drag out friends and families to vote. That factor will be absent in November.

A cautious prognosticator might say the odds are the Dems should be able to win two of the three open seats on the SC — but not get the third.

Now is the time for party leaders — that’s both — to begin understanding the need to educate their voters, the crucial decision making as to controls the State Supreme Court is on their fingers.

The Democratic leadership is fully aware of the fact so much of Dougherty’s total came from Philadelphia. He also received significant support from Philly’s “collar counties” as well (if you add his votes from Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montco together, it

comes to 55.5% of his total).

This does potentially present one large problem. It is entirely possible more Philadelphians turned out to vote last Tuesday then will show up on Nov. 3.

Philly, like nearly all US cities, is a Democratic stronghold. Therefore, an open sixperson party primary could draw more voters than a general election in which no one believes the GOP nominee has a chance.

For instance, during Philly’s last open Mayoral contest in 2007, 291,492 showed up to vote in the Democratic primary. Come general election time, though, turnout was just 222,583.

That represents a near 25% drop-off.

Considering 231,243 Democrats voted in this year’s mayoral primary, if there is a similar drop in turnout from 2007, it translates into around 35,000 fewer votes for Dougherty. The Dougherty campaign should focus on other Democratic areas throughout the Commonwealth. Ultimately, Philly turnout for Dougherty will be an intriguing subplot of an intense battle to fill three open seats, and determine the direction of Pennsylvania’s highest court for decades to come.

Brady Calls For Public Audit Of US Rail Systems

Congressman Robert A. Brady (D-Phila.) is demanding the Federal Railroad Administration publicly release all documents relating to the implementation of Positive Train Control technology mandated by Congress under The Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008.

The Congressman said, “In discussions with NTSB officials on site at the rail accident in my district, three things became clear to me: (1) this accident could have been prevented with an oper-

ational PTC system at the Port Richmond curve; (2) most railroad systems have no intention of meeting the congressionally-mandated deadline for full implementation of PTC by December 31, 2015; and (3) the NTSB has been calling for full transparency by the railroads and the Federal Railroad Administration to let the public know where these systems stand with respect to PTC implementation.”

Brady continued, “I am calling upon the Federal

Railroad Administration to conduct an public systemwide of all rail systems covered by RSIA beginning with the immediate release of all documents submitted by these systems regarding their implementation efforts. The riding public has a right to know the tracks covered by PTC and those that are not and they have a right to assess the efforts that rail systems have or have not made in the past seven years to comply with the congressional mandate of full imple-

mentation by the end of this year.”

Calling in support, Brady stated, “I have further asked my colleague and good friends Bill Shuster, Chairman of the House Transportation Committee and Mike Capuano, Ranking Member of the House Transportation Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines & Hazardous Materials, to solicit testimony from railroad executives at hearings designed to shed light on their PTC implementation efforts.”

Brady concluded, “This rail tragedy in Philadelphia was not caused by a failure of technology; it was a failure of political will to implement the technology we have that could have avoided the loss of lives. It was a tragedy on the tracks in 2007 that led to the congressional mandate to install PTC system-wide.

We must use this tragedy to mount the political will to see this mandate carried out before another family and another community faces this nightmare.”

44% in Ward Leader Dan Muroff’s 9th Ward to a low of 11% in State Rep. Angel Cruz’s 7th Ward. It’s not just Cruz who faces challenges turning out his registered Dems; Carlos Matos in the 19th, Tommy Johnson in the 25th, Donna Aument in the 33rd and Emilio Vásquez in the 43rd all struggle with it too.

Turnout matters in city politics. Shrewd citywide candidates will pay more attention to high-producing wards than to low-producing ones.

There are two parts of the city where a culture of voting is fairly healthy: the Far Northwest and Lower South Philly. The neighborhoods of Chestnut Hill, Mount Airy, Cedarbrook and W. Oak Lane range from tidy middle-class row homes to affluent estates and they are socially and culturally diverse; but Ron Couser’s 22nd Ward and Mar-

ian Tasco’s 50th Ward produced more than 40% turnout in the primary. At the other end of town, Ron Donatucci, Rosanne Pauciello and Matty Myers in the 26th and 39th Wards did equally well.

Most of the rest of Northwest and South Philadelphia voted above average, as did the Far Northeast; outer West Philly; and Center City West, Fairmount and Brewerytown.

A dash of affluence helps turnout, but it is far from the only factor involved.

In the poorer, older working-class neighborhoods of the Southwest, North and Near Northeast, voter participation drops below the average. The same is true for the River Wards and Center City East.

Why is voter turnout so low in Hispanic Kensington?

Remember we’re not talking about immigrants here. All these people are citizen voters. Still, many Latino

Philadelphians still have strong ties in Puerto Rico or abroad, so their civic energies are split. Typically they come here to work, not to vote.

An expert ward leader offers one answer. “It’s the ‘motor-voter’ effect,” this old election pro opines. In this community, a lot of people are registered to vote at PennDOT when they sign up for their drivers’ licenses. They need their licenses, so they’ll sign anything else while they’re at the DMV office. They count as registered voters, but they don’t actually care about voting. High motor-voter registrations, then, may depress official voter turnout here.

Off-campus areas reflect a different mathematical challenge: voters who are no longer there but who can’t be stricken from the voter rolls under federal law.

Carol Jenkins, who heads the 27th Ward, explained

what happens in University City and around Temple University in North Central by showing on on-campus street list on which one-third of the names had not voted for two presidential programs and thus are flagged for removal later – but not yet. She estimates another one-third have moved out of the neighborhood, often out of state, by now. They may be voting up a storm in California, but canceling their voter registration in Philadelphia was the last thing on their mind when they moved.

So Jenkins and her colleagues Bernadette Wyche in the 24th, George Brooks in the 47th and Shirley Kitchen in the 20th should get an “A” for their wards, where official turnout is below 20%. If one could eliminate student ghost voters, their real turnout might double.

High transient student and young-adult populations may

also reduce voter-turnout measures around Jefferson and University of the Arts, so the 5th and 8th Ward voting rate may be higher than it seems among real current residents.

All this said – how much can a good or bad ward leader push their numbers one way or another? Geography and demography are destiny….

Hard to tell from one sample. But a rule of thumb some observers cite is 4%.

Frank Oliver’s 29th Ward in Brewerytown may be an example of a ward that over performs with a 36% turnout in a neighborhood that has seen a smack of gentrification but is mostly old-school North Philly. Bringing out 36%, Oliver shows it is possible to get poor minority voters to vote just as if they were rich and powerful. Now 93, Oliver made a huge difference in his (Cont. Page 8)

by Tony West The best way to improve voter turnout is to see to it that voters are stable, middle-class citizens who own their own homes and don’t plan to move.

That’s the chief takeaway from a look at Philadelphia’s voter turnout in the May 19 Democratic primary election.

On an average, 29% of registered Democrats cast votes in the hotly contested mayoral primary. (Figures for total registrations as of May have not yet been released by the County Board of Elections; the number of registrations as of the November 2014 general election can be used as a proxy.)

The lowest voter participation is found in off-campus areas and in the Caribbean Latino barrio of Kensington.

Turnout varied considerably between the city’s 67 wards, ranging from a high of

Wojdak Will Be Missed

The Public Record • June 4, 2015

The General Assembly has a handful of members from both sides of the aisle who have formed a committee to seriously evaluate the way districts are redrawn and, in some cases, outrageously gerrymandered. The lawmakers noted Pennsylvania’s many oddly shaped, gerrymandered districts have created politically impenetrable fiefdoms that pressure lawmakers to toe the party line at the expense of bipartisanship and compromise.

“The time has come, and I think the people throughout Pennsylvania – and for that matter, throughout the United States – are recognizing that this process needs to be reformed,” said State Rep. Steve Santarsiero, one of the initiators. “There are some states that have already embarked on that, and largely they’ve had positive results. There is no perfect model that can completely remove politics from the redistricting process, but we can certainly do better.”

We support that effort, but don’t see it moving any faster than other similar progressive bills affecting that august body, such as reducing the number of House members.

With a new Governor and a General Assembly controlled by the opposition party, we are back to where we have been for many years … budget impasse.

Major obstacle is, and has always been, the efforts of each member to include plums which would create for them more loyalty from voters. Yet, this effort continues on, despite leadership efforts of the two caucus in both chambers who hear the growls of other members pushing for the conclusion of budget debate and agreement.

What legislators often fail to realize is the Governor’s veto is the trump card.

They need to take note, though they are in safe seats, especially in the House, voters are beginning to grumble.

In Philadelphia, this is becoming more and more a growing phenomenon. They want answers, they want a budget that takes care of schools, and they do not want further hidden taxation in any way. For example, Philadelphians driving over to New Jersey know they save three to four dollars and more when they drive over to New Jersey to fill up their vehicle’s gas tank with gasoline. A true case of hidden taxation under the guise of funding better roads. The same goes with many of the Authorities created by the State, all of whom impose additional fees without fear of retaliation from those affected.

What were considered safe House and Senate seats may find themselves becoming vulnerable to PAC-funded opposition from community, civic, or business groups who are beginning to realize they can get challengers with a heavy spread of money.

They proved it in the recent Philadelphia primary.

Though House seats may be considered tightly knit units bound to their holders, money talks and it well begin to be heard in the next primary. Remember, you read it here first.

Michael Bastone, First Latino Captain

Sheriff Ups Five To Captain

Among the five men promoted to captain recently by Sheriff Jewell Williams was Michael Bastone, making him the highest-ranking Latino in the more than 300-year history of the Sheriff’s Office.

“This promotion is simply in line with my commitment to make this office not only diverse, but to promote talent where it’s deserved,” said

Sheriff Williams.

Capt. Bastone, who scored the second highest on the list of those who took the captain’s test, has been with the Sheriff’s Office for 25 years, starting off as a Deputy Sheriff Officer and working his way up through the ranks.

“I am very excited, honored, and humbled to be the first Latino Captain,” said Ba-

stone. “This is also something for others to see, and look forward to meeting the challenge and the rewards of hard work, dedication and a Sheriff who understands the importance of diversity.”

Also promoted to captain were: Capt. Vernon Muse, Capt. Gregory Mullelly, Capt.

Monte Guess and Capt. Paris Washington.

Clinton and Biden top the Democratic “no way” list with 9% each.

“Safe to say, the 2016 Republican presidential primary is anyone’s race. With no frontrunner and identical numbers for the top five contenders, it’s a horserace which can only be described as a scrambled field – at least so far,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

The KATHLEEN KANE front was quiet Memorial Day week. This week we were reminded of her decision not to pursue charges against six Democratic public office holders who were caught on tape taking illegal political contributions. Kane killed Attorney General’s Office investigations initiated by now-Philadelphia prosecutor FRANK FINA stating that the cases were racially biased because all of the targets were African American. She made this claim despite the fact the investigator working with Fina is African American. Thomas is suing her personally for defamation owing to comments she made about his investigation.

Also the African American Philadelphia DISTRICT ATTORNEY SETH WILLIAMS thought the cases had merit and this week STATE REP. RON WATERS and former STATE REP. HAROLD JAMES pled guilty. Walters also plead guilty to other infractions and resigned his seat in the PA House of Representatives. A former Philadelphia traffic court president judge, THOMASINE TYNES, pled guilty in December. STATE REP. VANESSA LOWERY BROWN had been scheduled to plead guilty with Waters and Thomas but pulled out at the last minute. Usually I am sad to see people leave the Republican Party, but I am happy Brown is no longer one of us.

Kane herself is now accused of her own pay-to-play activities. This week another local paper reported that her office entered into no-bid contracts with law firms that gave her a total of $350,000 in campaign contributions. It also (Cont. Page 16)

I’d like to start this column out with a question that you would think I wouldn’t have to ask in 2015 about anyone who is running a campaign for any office in a major American city.

That question: How in the heck to do you run a political campaign without a political director?

I mean, hey, I ran for Vice President-Print of the National Association of Black Journalists twice and both times I had a political director of sorts. While being a member of the board of NABJ does require a sort of political acumen, if not the stomach for some of the same shenanigans that go along with conventional politics, it’s not like running the City of Philadelphia.

And yet, it’s a question that I find myself asking two weeks after the May primary because, when I read a newspaper article in which a seasoned politician admits that he ran for his city’s highest office without something that basic, it makes me scratch my head a little.

The Philadelphia Inquirer did an interview with State Sen. Anthony Williams this week that broke down how Williams, who was the frontrunner in the Democratic primary for Mayor early in the contest, managed to lose that contest to former City Councilman Jim Kenney by a double-digit margin.

Among the things that was revealed in that article is that Williams, who has been a politician for a lot of years and even witnessed the historic mayoral campaign of his father, the late State Sen. Hardy Williams, didn’t hire a political director to help with his campaign.

Again, how does that happen?

(Cont. Page 17)

CITY COUNCIL took an unnecessary bad hit in the media in its quest to help the schools with funding, Council President Darrell CLARKE mentioned in Budget hearings, “So you want the money all the time, basically.” A VERY APPROPRIATE statement to a bottomless pit (of meager results). We cannot keep crucifying taxpayers with a CROWN OF TAX. If we did not have Council looking out for us – who is there? It is weird to know that some who call for a tax increase are safely enjoying a martini at their manse in Ardmore each evening. A famous American once called the attacks “class war.” It is that. A back-and-forth between two CASTE LEVELS, one feeling close to education leaders, and feeling more highly educated than the other.

CITY COUNCIL’s efforts to be more developer-friendly are starting off well. This is the start of an era of good feeling across the board. A sad note is that new L&I regulations are too complex and have driven a lot of little guy-demo-cleanup up trucks (and jobs) out of our economy. The Center City building collapse was NOT CAUSED by little-guy contractors – though they suffer for it....There is talk in the press about an “EXCITING” mayoral race between KENNEY and GREEN. What? How BORING? It is also said Green could use the publicity from the campaign to remake himself. INTO WHAT? What is left? Green-family friend Dave GLANCEY is the sharp mind that could make that happen.

The proposed hero parade for the exonerated NARC cops is an idea that was A WEE BIT TOO MUCH.... Our Southeast POLICE CHIEFS are holding a fine lunch next Thursday featuring the President of SugarHouse Casino, in Dave & Buster’s.

The Fall Election for high court judges looks like a rumble. Philly Judge Kevin DOUGHERTY won’t contribute to the negatives. And campaign leader Brian EDDIS is moving forward!... Most unforgettable judicial candidate has to be the energetic, charming MARISSA BRUMBACH. She is to be watched as a future comer. Do nots from the past primary election: Don’t tell voters you are responsible for all good things in the courts. Don’t cry foul for a poor ballot position. And don’t rely totally with saturation (to show activity) postings on Facebook.

Manny MORALES came very close to winning a Council seat, and would have won if that (Cont. Page 17)

After his defeat for Mayor, what will STATE SEN. TONY WILLIAMS do? In a recent Philadelphia Inquirer interview, he eviscerated his colleague and Senate Democratic Appropriations Chairman VINCENT HUGHES. Hughes had conducted his own poll of the Mayor’s race and came to the conclusion JIM KENNEY was going to win. This in Hughes’ mind, warranted going against the majority of his colleagues in Harrisburg and endorsing Kenney. Williams took the unusual step of publicly calling out that “betrayal.”

Rumor has it the Senate Democrats had a recent brouhaha over unity. Will there be repercussions? Some have speculated that this type of feud is not new, it’s just now out in the open. But one question that troubles many minds: Is Sen. Hughes the Appropriations Chair from Philadelphia, or is the Appropriations Chair just something Hughes utilizes for himself? What is inevitable is the battle may not be between Williams and Hughes but between all of the Democrats in the Senate Democratic caucus.

In the meantime, there are other races that must be won.

Among them is the statewide quest of Kevin Dougherty for Supreme Court. Philadelphia must have a strong representative on the court. The only way that realistically happens is if the disunity ceasees. So it’s time to mend fences and move on.

Speaking of moving on, CONGRESSMAN BOB BRADY emerged from the fractious mayoral campaign looking fine.

He hosted a unity breakfast with Kenney and the ward leaders.

Kenney acknowledged Brady was not with him but is (Cont. Page 16)

Yo! Here we go again. I awoke early one morning to the sound of silence. In this utter silence I thought I heard a sound from outside my window. It resembled the clip-clop of the milkman’s horse.

This sound stirred up some very strong memories. It brought to mind the sound of the milk bottles clanking in his carrier as he walked to our house to deliver the milk.

This started a flow of other sounds and memories of growing up in South Philadelphia which I could not turn off. In my mind, I could hear these sounds and see these images again.

Wishful thinking, I guess.

I remember the rackety-coo of pigeons scratching for food that a neighbor fed regularly.

After he passed away, no one fed the pigeons in our neighborhood. I wonder why not?

Street vendors made sounds which flashed through my mind. I heard the clank of the waffle man’s bell alerting the kids of his presence. John, the rag man, announced his coming with a lusty baritone call: “Raaag Man”! It was the signal for those with rags to sell to come out and negotiate a deal with him.

On Wednesdays and Fridays, the fishmonger’s call of “Freeeeesh Fiiiiish” gave the ladies ideas for dinner. Fruits and vegetables were announced with gusto by the hucksters and his call changed with the available produce. The knife sharpener and the umbrella man called out their specialty as they walked through the neighborhood.

When the peanut vendor roamed the neighborhood, he did not need much of a call. The aroma of his fresh roasted peanuts was enough of a signal to cause a mouth-watering sensation.

How can I describe the sound made by an icepick as it cut through a block of ice? The ice man surgically cut the exact size needed out of a huge block of ice and delivered it – on his shoulder – into the home. We kids then got a chance to collect some of the ice chips from his wagon to suck on and cool off.

State Dems Meet In Allentown

The Pennsylvania Democratic Party has moved its summer meeting out of Harrisburg to Allentown this weekend. It’s the first time.

State Chairman Jim Burns said, “The move recognizes the City of Allentown has seen an economic resurgence over the last few years under Democratic leadership and is also the site of a booming 42% Latino population. With the growing influence this constituent group has in statewide elections, Allentown is the perfect place to formally adopt our Latino Caucus.

“Our Party’s success depends on our ability to connect with all constituency groups.

Along with the Latino Caucus, plans are underway to form a Rural Caucus and a Youth Caucus. In our continuing commitment to reach every Democrat in Pennsylvania, we have hired an Outreach Director. We look forward to working with these new caucuses as we identify and work on issues that impact their constituency base as well as develop a plan to identify those Democrats that support all of our caucuses in the coming year.

OCA Fights Profiling Of Asian Americans

www.phillyrecord.com • 215-755-2000

FROM LEFT seated at OCA-GP table were Tsiwen Law; Jenny Wong; Lien Vu, OCA-GP president; and Minh Vu.

MINH VU and Andrew Cheng helped children with their art projects.

On May 21, 2015, the OCA Asian Pacific American Advocates, in a coalition of Asian Pacific American civilrights organizations, publicly called upon newly confirmed US Attorney General Loretta Lynch to investigate the possible profiling in the dismissed indictments against US hydrologist Xiafen “Sherry” Chen, 59, of Wilmington, Ohio.

Chen was a naturalized US citizen employed by the National Oceanic & Aerospace Administration, otherwise known as the National Weather Service. On Mar. 11, 2015, a Dayton, Ohio federal judge dismissed all eight counts of theft and lying to the government against Chen based on a request from the federal prosecutor.

For an indictment on those charges, Chen had been arrested in her office and placed in handcuffs in October 2014.

Since the dismissal of all charges, Chen’s pay and benefits have been restored, but

she has not resumed her job as hydrologist.

Prior to the arrest, Chen had been recognized for her forecasting work which saved many lives in the 2011 flood of the Ohio River.

The US Government’s case was based on her using a government issued password to access the National Inventory on Dams, a database available to all federal employees. Her old password had expired, and she sought a new one from a colleague at NOAA. Chen had met with a former classmate in Beijing during a visit to her aging parents. The FBI suspected her of passing on government secrets to her classmate, although all she did was refer her classmate to another colleague at NOAA for further information.

Judge Thomas Rose’s dismissal of the charges against Chen comes nearly 15 years after Judge James Parker of

the US District Court of New Mexico dismissed 58 counts against Dr. Wen Ho Lee, and added an apology for ordering him in solitary confinement for nine months.

Dr. Lee was a federal employee at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He was responsible for recording and cataloguing nuclear weapons codes into a classified computer. The FBI charged him with passing on nuclearweapons secrets to the Chinese government during a brief trip to the People’s Republic of China with his wife and 11 other non-Asian colleagues from the Laboratory.

Out of the tour group, only Dr. Lee was charged with passing “secret” information to a foreign government.

Dr. Lee was a naturalized US citizen, originally born in Taiwan, Republic of China, with the highest security clearances. The federal prosecutor agreed to dismiss the counts

after he realized the so-called “secrets” were publicly available long before Dr. Lee’s indictment.

The Chen case comes in the wake of a dramatic increase of investigations and indictments under the Electronic Espionage Act. The majority of cases involve Chinese citizens, but some involve American citizens, which results in profiling of Asian Pacific Islanders.

First introduced in 2001, the End Racial Profiling Act would prohibit government initiated racial and ethnic profiling; Sen. Ben Cardin (DMd.) has introduced S 1056 and Congressman John Conyers (D-Mich.) has introduced HR 1933.

In addition to calling upon all members of Congress to co-sponsor and pass the End Racial Profiling Act, OCAGP calls upon all Americans to contact Lynch about the investigation of Chen.

What words of encouragement do you have to individuals, from all backgrounds, about becoming civically engaged?

Gym: My campaign is the culmination of years of collaborative organizing and basebuilding by grassroots community groups all across the city. All of us – the communities who brought me into office – are just pretty ordinary people who’ve learned to work together and figured out how to build a broader movement over time. To me, that’s an extraordinary lesson.

There’s no shortcut. When your work has integrity over time, when we invest in grassroots movement building first, the broader community can see this work come to fruition.

And that’s how you change things – when a collective movement builds and earns political power rather than just grasps for it.

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.

Perng: When President Obama recognized you as a César E. Chávez Champion Of Change, you said, “People [at Asian Americans United and Parents United for Public Education] pushed my thinking every day. They made me rethink privilege; reminded me of history. Reminded me that power is the collective enterprise of people who build communities” and not reserved for politicians.” How will your office engage the grassroots?

Gym: The at-large council seat is unique in that its power lies in the ability to move the broader public around major areas of concern. It requires me to deepen relationships, not just broaden them.

I want to share out data and information so we’re both educating and engaging the public in meaningful ways, not just talking at people.

Helen Gym … to join Council.

With her nomination as Democratic candidate for City Council at Large, Korean American Helen Gym is likely to become the first Asian American female elected official in Philadelphia’s history.

She will join fellow Korean American David Oh on City Council.

Anna Perng, Executive Vice President of OCAGreater Philadelphia Chapter, interviewed Gym shortly after she won the primary election.

Perng: After 20 years of community organizing on edu-

cation and immigration, what compelled you to run for Philadelphia City Council at Large?

Gym: I was inspired to run because I see more energy at the grassroots level than ever before, and a widening gap between communities and our elected officials around core issues addressing the public interest and public institutions.

Philadelphians from every part of this city know there is something deeply wrong when a society lets its public schools fall apart the way we have seen in this city. The term “education reform” is no longer neutral territory: We’re seeing public land turned over to private enterprises; labor rights being undermined; state takeovers and emergency managers upending democratic governance of schools; schools closed down and communities devastated in their wake. It’s time for a new approach to how we view education, the top political and moral agenda of our city.

When I take office, I will work with Philadelphians to end the punishing narrative about failing schools, and

(Cont. From Page 12) has been reported that she pulled a subpoena that had been delivered to a political figure who had given her campaign $25,000.

Typically we do not discuss federal politics in this column but the HILLARY CLINTON saga is too tempting.

She, like Kane, has made numerous public statements that even the liberal media have come to question. Also Clinton’s inaccessibility to media is annoying the Fourth Estate, which would normally be kind to a female Democrat.

However, the big difference between Kane and Clinton is that Hillary is a lot smarter and better at covering her tracks.

There has been issue after issue that does not appear to quite stick to her. In September 2012, she told the parents of one of the Americans killed in Benghazi that she would pursue the filmmaker whose blasphemous video of Muhammad that the Obama administration initially claimed spurred the attack on the American facility at Benghazi.

It is now apparent that she knew then it was a terrorist attack at the time.

She used her own email ac-

(Cont. From Page 12) The clatter of coal rushing down the coal chute into the coal bin of our home was a noisy affair. When the church bells rang out, they meant, it was either 12:00 noon or 6:00 p.m.

I heard the sound of the rain on the roof and thought of the

count and home server for State Dept. business, claiming it was too difficult to manage two cellphones. Now it appears she did have two private accounts and probably two cellphones during part of her tenor as Secretary of State.

She erased over 30,000 emails, claiming that they were covered private matters.

We are supposed to take her word for that.

She claimed that she did not share classified materials with people not cleared to see them. It appears now she shared information on Benghazi with SIDNEY BLUMENTHAL, whom PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA summer days that were ruined because of rain. We survived though by reading, playing a board game, listening to the radio or actually talking to one another.

The kids playing in the street always yelled for us to come out and play with them. The games we played were not too noisy.

But the giggling screams of delight or minor disputes caused by the game were all memo-

prohibited her from hiring as an assistant at Stat. Blumenthal works for the Clinton Foundation. It appears the Foundation accepted funds from foreign nationals just before or after Clinton, as Secretary of State, took actions that were favorable to these or related parties. But there is probably not a paper trail as she is too smart for that.

But all of these issues are beginning to add up. A recent Quinnipiac poll shows 52% of Americans think she is not trustworthy. Unlike Kane, Clinton may not be tried in court, but hopefully in the court of public opinion. rable sounds.

We knew the postal carrier by his two rings of the doorbell.

He made two mail deliveries a day. Mom’s wind chimes were made from flattened spoons.

They tinkled in the gentle breeze.

Summer playground in the schoolyard were a mixture of glee and joy made by the boys and girls. The rhythmic slap of the jump rope and the highpitched chant of “Strawberry Shortcake, Huckleberry Finn, when I move out, let Mary move in” meant a challenge had been made by the jumper to (in this case) Mary. Rollerskates with metal wheels rasping over the rough sidewalks made a happy sound. The cry of “Oleyoley-cats in freee” meant someone just got to home base in a game of hide and go seek.

I remember them now. What I don’t remember is when did I stop hearing them? These sounds of long ago are sweet memories.

Although a touch of nostalgia can’t cure today’s problems, memories are a welcome bit of cheer. In our noise-polluted environment of today, the sounds of: the subway, the bus, car and truck traffic, police and fire sirens, horns hooting, people jabbering, the boom-box playing its blaring music, the car radio which can be heard two blocks away, the washer and dryer with their rhythmic chugging, electric coffeepot gurgling, radio and television’s incessant intrusion into the peace of our realm will be the sounds of yesterday – tomorrow.

When I last mentioned top campaign consultants, I should have added the names of Dan GRACE and Pete WILSON; they, like Teddy Roosevelt, speak softly, but.... Chris DiCICCO impressed me in the campaign. He would be a high asset to the bench!

I attended the viewing of Joe HOFFMAN, retired Democratic leader of the 1st Ward and GENTLEMAN. It is reported that St. Peter cannot get a word in edgewise with Joe!...

A real jolt was the passing of my Navy Chief Joe BANCER, living in S. Jersey. Joe kept me out of trouble and away from the Admiral. Fair winds and following seas, Joe. Mike TOMLINSON, man about town, had a birthday. So did Brian “Eddis” COLEMAN. Brian does so much for the hungry through AOH; that he is equal to the State Welfare Dept. And today is the birthday of State Rep. Mark “Mensa” COHEN, class lawmaker. Underestimate his campaign ability to your distress.

(Cont. From Page 12) But here’s the thing. From what I’m hearing, the lack of a political director was the least of Williams’s problems.

While people have promised to elaborate what they mean by that over lunch, coffee, and several adult beverages, I could see one problem very clearly, a problem that a political director would have helped for sure.

Definition.

For half of the mayoral campaign, most folks thought it was Hardy rather than Anthony that was running for office. For the second half, Williams ran as a #Black-

OUT & ABOUT

LivesMatter protestor, which didn’t seem authentic to a lot of people.

Williams also spent a lot of time running away from his record as a staunch supporter of charter schools and a variety of other positions he had taken in the past, stuff that was easily discoverable by a Google search.

Now a seasoned political director would have probably grabbed Sen. Williams by the shoulders, connected with his director of communications, set them both on a course of action, and moved them forward.

While he may not have won, Williams might not have gotten trounced with that kind of direction.
