Donatucci Announces Grant for Street Safety BY ELDON GRAHAM TATE REP. MARIA Donatucci (D-S. Phila.) announced on Monday a $1.5 million grant for the realignment of the 20th Street, Penrose, Moyamensing and Packer Avenue intersection. This project will help increase pedestrian safety and decrease traffic crashes. “The City of Philadelphia is moving in the right direction. We continue to support important infrastructure projects to ensure that a safe and reliable system of

transportation is available. I’m glad that we were able to secure a grant for this particular intersection, not only for the safety of our community, but also for the people who drive around on a daily basis,” Donatucci said. “This funding is crucial to make the intersection more efficient, facilitate better traffic flow, increase pedestrian safety, and decrease or eliminate potential traffic crashes.” The Automated Red Light Enforcement funding

program is a state-administered competitive grant program established in 2010 to improve safety by reducing vehicle crashes and injuries due to red-light-running at signalized intersections. It uses net revenue from traffic violation fines to fund road safety projects statewide. In early February, Donatucci, who is chairwoman of the Philadelphia County Delegation, called Gov. Tom Wolf’s budget proposal for the 2018-19 fiscal year the best way to move Philadel-

Senate Aide Rowan Vies for 184th Seat

BY TONY WEST ON ROWAN TOOK a political step up last month up when he succeeded Rosanne Pauciello, the long-serving Democratic leader of Ward 39A, following her passing. At the same time, he began to look toward another step up, hopefully on May 15, the date of the 2018 primary. After State Rep. Bill Keller (D-S. Phila.) announced his retirement, Rowan entered the race to replace him in the 184th District, which encompasses South Philadelphia below Wharton Street and east of Broad Street. It’s an area Rowan knows well. He was born in Pennsport and has spent all his life there and in nextdoor Whitman, blue-collar rowhouse communities he is intimate with. Rowan graduated from Roman Catholic High School and poked away at Community College for a while, “till marriage and children got in the way,” in his words. (He has a wife and two daughters, ages 9 and 15.) In 1997, he got a job with

State Sen. Vince Fumo, then at the height of his powers. Starting out as a constituent-services representative, he moved up to special projects. When Fumo left the job and was replaced by State Sen. Larry Farnese (D-S. Phila.), Rowan stayed in that office, where he currently serves as district director. Fumo has been accused of many things and convicted of a few. But no one ever accused him of tolerating incompetence. People who worked for Fumo tend to be good at their job. By now, Rowan has 20 years’ experience in local service throughout the 1st District, from the River Wards in the north to Eastwick in the south. Effective, diligent and modest, Rowan has tackled a lot of problems for a lot of people over two decades. That is an asset in a state Rep. race. In the race, “I’m behind a little,” Rowan said. His campaign office on Two Street is an empty shell that needs refurbishing. He’s still putting together a staff. He has three opponents who started much earlier – Elizabeth

Fiedler, Nick DiDonato and Tom Wyatt – while Rowan waited out of respect for Keller. But he’ll have allies. His own ward committee will back him, as will neighboring 39B, led by Matty Myers. His boss, Farnese, will stand behind him, as will Councilman Mark Squilla (1st District). If Rowan winds up going to Harrisburg, he expects to find friends there. His long service in his senatorial district means that he has worked closely with experienced state reps like Maria Donatucci (D-S. Phila.) and Mike O’Brien (D-Kensington). And any Rowan legislative initiative would come with the backing of Farnese in the Senate. “They know a thing or two,” said Rowan. “So I’d lean on them.” Dan Stevenson, a prominent beer distributor and political consultant for SugarHouse Casino, also serves as public-safety consultant for Farnese. Rowan expects to work with him. Rowan is in active negotiation with several building-trades unions and expects to win a few en-

phia forward. “As chairwoman of the Philadelphia County Delegation, I am excited to see that Gov. Wolf’s budget proposal falls in line with our delegation’s initiatives for this upcoming year,” Donatucci said. “For years, we needed greater investments in education, access to high-quality child care, and resources to tackle the drug and opioid epidemic. These are programs and initiatives that Philadelphians need and our delegation will make sure that the ap-

propriate bills are sent to the governor’s desk to be signed.” Donatucci added, “The job of government is to make people’s lives easier. It’s time we expand access to opportunities to our residents who need it most. I look forward to working with my colleagues throughout the commonwealth to see these policies through.” She is not resting on her laurels as she gears to make that notorious intersection safer.

dorsements from them, but that process is necessarily slower. In his campaign, Rowan said, “I’m willing to work hard, knock on doors. I need to mobilize the people I’ve known for so long to come out and vote.” Petition season is in full swing now, so getting on the ballot is Job 1. If elected, Rowan promises “to continue to fight for services that the district needs and deserves.” A top priority would be improving senior services in areas like property-tax rebates and prescription drugs. These issues matter to blue-collar homeowners in a gentrifying neighborhood. Rowan made clear that he wants to “see Southwark grow.” But he insists that steps be taken to ensure that the older residents, who were born and raised

in South Philly when it wasn’t fashionable, be equitably treated. They must have done something right during their lives, to maintain a neighborhood that is suddenly attractive to developers. They shouldn’t be forced out of their lifelong homes just because their incomes are fixed. But South Philly is changing demographically. This district has seen a trickle of white-collar immigration that started in the 1990s turn into a flood in the 2010s. Two of Rowan’s challengers, WHYY journalist Fiedler and Dilworth Paxson attorney Wyatt, belong to this group. How does the interplay of social classes work in this part of South Philly look like in 2018? The 2018 primary will provide a fascinating, if partial, answer.

Redistricting War on Two Fronts

T HE P UB L I C R E CO R D

POLS on the STREET BY JOE SHAHEELI HE INITIAL PANIC into which statewide politics was flung by the State Supreme Court’s imposition of new congressional districts has settled into the odd reality that, for the next week at least, everyone who wishes to run for major offices must have a two-front strategy. They must have a plan to run in the new districts drawn by

the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which has a Democratic majority; they must also have a plan to run in the old districts drawn by Republicans, in case the GOP’s effort to void the new districts succeeds with the U.S. Supreme Court, which has a Republican majority. Good luck with that, everybody! Endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate State Sen. Scott Wagner (R-York) called on Gov. Tom Wolf to ignore the Supreme Court’s decision. Wagner believes that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court does not have the constitutional authority to draw a new map and argues the governor should not the enforce the court’s decision. “I would instruct the Secretary of the Commonwealth to oversee the 2018 elections under our old map

out with a statement supporting Common Cause’s quest for a permanent, nonpartisan method to eliminate the archaic cloud of gerrymandering. “The chaotic weeks since the court’s ruling have been filled with partisan sniping and rushed decisions made behind closed doors. The result is that this new map, whatever its merits, will always live beneath a partisan cloud,” read Seventy’s statement. “Remember, Pennsylvania will have to draw new maps in 2021, just three years from now.

– the map that was created by bipartisan, elected representatives,” he said. Wolf responded by singling out Republican U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has enlisted in the GOP federal lawsuit, as a monster to stir his base to contribute to his campaign for re-election. “Paul Ryan and his allies are planning to file federal lawsuits in a desperate attempt to block Pennsylvania’s new, fair maps so they can bring back their gerrymandered map,” his campaign team emailed. “We need to fight back. So we’re going all in to raise 1,000 donations today from voters who want politicians to be accountable to people – not special interests.” Time will tell which side raises more money from redistricting frenzy.

their homes if they do not sign a reaffirmation agreement. As long as you are current on your monthly payments, you can keep your home. I do not recommend my clients sign reaffirmation agreements on homes that are upside down. If a client wants to sign a reaffirmation

agreement on a home 5 mortgage, they can do so, but the court must approve the agreement. Unfortunately, most courts will not approve the agreement because they feel it is not in the debtor’s best interest. Next Week’s Question: Stockton, Cal. bankrupt; is Philadelphia next?

you have filed bankruptcy in the past, you can always request a payment history from the lender. Again, these agreements are in the best interest of the creditor, not the debtor. However, some clients are still concerned whether they will be able to keep

M A RC H 1, 2018

BY MICHAEL A. CIBIK AMERICAN BANKRUPTCY BOARD CERTIFIED uestion: Should I reaffirm my mortgage after filing for bankruptcy? Answer: Let’s start with what a reaffirmation agreement is and what it is not. Basically, the filing of a bankruptcy kills most contracts; including car purchases and home purchases. Once the contract is dead, the secured creditor may retrieve its collateral but cannot go after the debtor for any deficiency if the collateral was sold for less than what was owed. For example: Let’s say you owed $10K on a car worth $5K at the time that you filed for bankruptcy protection. If you did not sign a reaffirmation agreement, you could surrender the car and pay nothing to the creditor. The creditor’s sole remedy was to retrieve their collateral. If you signed a reaffirmation agreement,

cies. Here is how you remedy the situation. First, you make all of your regular monthly mortgage payments post-bankruptcy. You keep track of when you sent the payment and when the money was withdrawn from your bank. This way, you have a current pay history. If

understanding BANKRUPTCY

you would breathe life back into a dead contract, thereby giving your creditor additional rights under the contract. The most-significant right or remedy available to the creditor was the ability to go after you for the additional money owed (in this example $5K). Obviously, the same holds true for mortgage and promissory note on a home. If you fail to breathe life back into a dead mortgage and promissory note, the mortgage company is in a worse position than it would be had you signed a reaffirmation agreement. So the mortgage companies want you to sign these agreements during your bankruptcy so that they maintain a superior advantage over you. Recently, mortgage companies have been trying to coerce individuals into reaffirming debts on homes. The new trick is that they will no longer report to the credit reporting agencies that you are current on your monthly payments. The mortgage companies want homeowners to reaffirm mortgages that are sometimes 100K upside down. Likewise, these same companies are telling individuals who filed bankruptcy in the past that they will not report all of the past monthly payments to the credit reporting agen-

with union members and their supporters this weekend was yet another shining example of the strong presence and impact of organized labor on Philadelphia. But the reason for the public demonstration of strength and unity was to underline just how precarious that power is right now. The US Supreme Court is currently deliberating a case, Janus vs. the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, Council 31, which is, on its surface, about whether a public-sector employee can be compelled to pay “fair-share” dues to his or her union regardless of membership status. We say “on its surface” because this isn’t just about Mark Janus, the Illinois employee whose name is attached to the case. It’s about corpora-

tions and billionaire businessmen finding their latest, most insidious attack yet on organized labor and democracy. The case is simply the apotheosis of a strategy designed to deprive unions of their monetary lifeblood and, in so doing, cripple their ability to effectively advocate for their members in everything from collective bargaining to organizing for candidates. This case could kneecap unions and accelerate the onslaught against the rights American workers have earned over the past century-plus. Don’t believe us? Just glance at the difference in wages between union and non-union locales. You need to pay attention to this case – and act accordingly. Your very quality of life depends on it.

One Headache out, One Headache in Lt. Gov. Mike Stack is facing a lively field of opponents in his re-election bid in the Democratic primary. The Philadelphia native son was being pressed by State Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Montgomery) in the lieutenant governor race. After seeing the new Supreme Court congressional districts, Dean opted to run for Congress in the new 4th District, which is essentially a Montco affair. But now in comes Nina Ahmad, a former Philadelphia deputy mayor with a half-mil already in her sock. She had been targeting Congressman Bob Brady’s old 1st District, but that district no longer exists. Now she’ll tackle Stack. Ahmad, a former chair of Philadelphia NOW, said that while the new congressional maps caused her to change her plans, the State Supreme Court did the right thing by ending gerrymandering in Pennsylvania. Ahmad came to the United States from Bangladesh at age 21 and earned a Ph.D in chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania. She worked as an organizer for Howard Dean’s insurgent presidential campaign and was a delegate for Barack Obama. She called out sexPPR_p007.indd 7

Tasco, Evans Receive Honors In commemoration of Black History Month, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) acknowledged former Philadelphia Councilwoman Marian Tasco in a symposium and reception in Washington, D.C. on Feb. 26. Casey highlighted the Councilwoman’s lifetime of public service and continued work to inspire the next generation of leaders. She served on City Council for over two decades. Earlier last month, the National Association of Community Health Centers issued its 2018 Community Health Congressional Awards. Congressman Dwight Evans (D-Phila.) was among the awardees. Evans was recognized for taking multiple actions on behalf of health centers, including advocating for health-center funding, cosponsoring important legislation and engaging with health centers in his district.

story linking his former campaign chair to a series of attacks on fellow Republicans. Wagner cut ties with campaign staffers who had been involved with a PAC called the Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania. That group, which promotes conservative political candidates who exhibit ideological purity, sent mailers to thousands of households in recent weeks blasting nearly 30 fellow Republicans for voting against a bill designed to restrict the automatic collection of union dues. State Rep. Martina White (R-Northeast) was among these legislators, mostly in the Southeast, who were targeted for extinction by CAP. This far-right lobby aims to eliminate from public office all Republican elected officials who support labor unions to the slightest degree. Wagner’s campaign subsequently fired strategist Ryan Shafik and campaign chair John Kennedy – who founded CAP and now serves as chairman emeritus. “Dividing our party is unacceptable and I want every Republican to help implement our agenda in Harrisburg,” Wagner said. White had been baffled by the divisive stance of Wagner’s longtime ally, right after Wagner had issued a call for party unity on his endorsement by the Pennsylvania Republican Committee. “I remain focused on working across the aisle to accomplish things for the people of my district and the people of Philadelphia,” she said. “I am firmly pro-union, (Cont.

We look forward to working with our friends in Fair Districts PA on that essential quest.” Draw the Lines PA is a series of public mapping competitions awarding cash prizes held twice each year until 2021 that will give thousands of participants in three divisions – middle/high school, higher education, and adult – access to the same digital tools that the politicians use to draw the Commonwealth’s electoral boundaries.

Daylin Leach (D-Montgomery) to step down after sexual-harassment charges. “Harrisburg has been male-dominated for too long, and its culture won’t change without new voices,” said Ahmad. “We must create jobs in science and technology and grow green jobs and businesses.”

EVERYDAY PEOPLE BY DENISE CLAY F YOU’VE BEEN watching this space for years, you know that I spent some time teaching in the School District of Philadelphia. I taught media arts at a school filled with kids that had been involved in a whole lot of adult pursuits ranging from early parenthood to breaking and entering. The school represented their last chance of getting a high-school diploma without paying GED fees. I enjoyed teaching there.

People made the Man with the Golden Combover our 45th president, it’s that he’s never boring. Gotta hand that to him. I’ve also seen that most of the ideas he has for solving the nation’s problems come from a place of ignorance that’s covered in gold right down to the toilets. I say this because arming teachers won’t make schools safer. Heck, in places like Philadelphia, an armed teacher might give kids another reason to fear. During the Parkland shootings, a sheriff’s deputy was outside the building while the shooter was doing his thing. This is a trained professional that goes into hot spots like that on purpose. Now imagine giving that responsibility to a science teacher? The phrase “unmitigated disaster” comes to mind. And then there’s the (Cont. Page 16)

BY JOE SHAY STIVALA HIRTY-FOUR Democratic candidates HAVE WON special elections this year in the USA. The GOP has won four (one was uncontested). And DEMS’ margin of victory has grown. All before the midterm JUDGEMENT DAY! I read material from the political group Philadelphia 3.0. One page describes what a committeeman does. But it LEFT OUT assistance to constituents with municipal, state and federal governments. This would

CITY HALL SAM

ITH THE retirement of CONGRESSMAN BOB BRADY, redistricting took a strange and positive turn. His fellow Philadelphian, LT. GOV. MIKE STACK, had been fighting for fair congressional redistricting. The previous seats were so gerrymandered that even though Pennsylvania has 1 million more Democrats, Republicans won 13 congressional elections resoundingly, leaving only five Democratic seats. But now Democrats are can run

Ward. Because he was elect- 13 ed by committee persons; that is why. PPA has asked for a 50cent increase on cab fares. Okay; but EQUITY DEMANDS that it should not happen unless the VERY SAME INCREASE is applied to Uber and Lyft. Not to do this creates UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. PPA does not regulate Uber and Lyft. That does not matter! Approval must be sought first! Happy Birthday to Michael SULLIVAN! He was a Traffic Court judge when the feds went after Traffic Court. But a jury found this honest man NOT GUILTY. It may have been difficult for the feds to stomach, and they turned their attention to a VERY MINOR offense at the family business. Is this MEAN-SPIRITED prosecution? D.A. LARRY KRASNER’S bail reform is accomplished. A defendant can use money saved for (Cont. Page 14)

competitive campaigns for at least four additional seats. Brady’s old district now includes South Philly, all of Delaware and part of Montgomery County. Former aide to MAYOR JIM KENNEY, RICH LAZER, will probably be able to harness the Philadelphia part and pick up enough to win in a primary. Delaware County Democratic CHAIRMAN DAVE LANDAU has said that the county committee will put up its own candidate, however. STATE REP. MADELEINE DEAN from Abington Township left the lieutenant governor’s campaign as soon as a Montgomery County congressional seat was drawn. And the Northeast Philadelphia seat of CONGRESSMAN BRENDAN BOYLE that used to be about 48% Philadelphia is now all in Montco. Boyle now lives in a congressional district that is 100% Philadelphia. The new district has generated potential primary opposi-

tion to Boyle from former CITY COUNCILMAN BILL GREEN, COUNCILWOMAN MARIA QUIÑONES SÁNCHEZ, and possibly two Northeast Philadelphia legislators – STATE SEN. JOHN SABATINA and STATE REP. MIKE DRISCOLL. There are other lesser-known candidates, with probably more to come. The Human Rights Campaign celebrated its 23rd anniversary at a gala at the Center City Marriott on Saturday. The HRC is an LGBTQ vanguard for human rights that also includes other oppressed minorities. On hand were several VIPs, including STATE SEN. LARRY FARNESE, a longtime hero of the LGBTQ community; COUNCILMAN MARK SQUILLA; potential congressional candidate Rich Lazer; and Lt. Gov. Mike Stack, the only statewide candidate in 2014 who campaigned on marriage (Cont. Page 14)

The kids, despite their challenges, were great. But it wasn’t for everyone. We had several teachers that lasted exactly one day before deciding that these kids were too much to handle. I thought of those teachers this week as President Donald Trump presented his solution to the problem of school shootings to the National Association of Governors. The topic came up because 17 people were killed when a kid named Nikolas Cruz rolled up into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida with an AR-15 and started getting his shoot on. Trump’s solutions include fortifying schools, placing armed guards in them, and arming teachers. You read that right. The president of the United States is advocating for readin’, writin’ and packing a Glock for our teachers. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since the American

mean that committee persons would be INACTIVE most of the year – while many are on 24/7 duty now. Could it mean that 3.0 does not want to perform the HARDEST part of a committee person’s job? Is this a return of MANOR-BORN POLITICS of old Philadelphia? I hope that they shun the “We know what is best for you” role. Would the late, great Dr. E.

OLLS AND PUNDITS have called GOV. TOM WOLF the most liberal governor in the United States. I think if a poll is be taken in mid-year 2018, Wolf may be usurped by New Jersey GOV. PHIL MURPHY. Since taking office in January, he has made a number of pronouncements that have caused many to cringe. His most amusing plan was to stop bear hunts in the state. There are bears in Northwestern New Jersey who are frequently seen roaming residential areas. Sounds like he was

Pennsylvania or New York, thus forcing Wolf and/or GOV. ANDREW CUOMO to figure out how to deal with their liberal bases. Murphy’s latest pandering to liberal groups crossed a line I am not sure Wolf would venture near. Last week, the New Jersey School Board elevated PAULA WHITE, an African American, from assistant commissioner to commissioner. Her bio is quite impressive. She has a degree from Columbia University, taught in Atlanta for six years, was director of Democrats for Educational Reform and most recently was the chief turnaround officer for the New Jersey Department of Education. Within 24 hours of her appointment, Murphy fired her. White is clearly a Democrat whose ideas on education appear consistent with those of former PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. How did she run afoul of Murphy so fast? (Cont. Page 16)

pandering to liberals (who, of course, do not live anywhere near Jersey’s bears). I acknowledge part of the problem is that we (people) have developed some of their natural habitats for our use. Also, the bears’ natural predators are almost completely gone. So the bears have less land to roam and there are a lot of them. State law permits a short bear-hunt season each year to cull sloths of bears (Yes I had to look up the word for the bear version of a herd). Some liberals suggest feeding them birth control as an alternative to culling; however, the effectiveness of these programs is questionable. So I guess it is better for the bear population to increase, have less space per bear to roam and less available food per bear. While bears are not aggressive animals, I would not want to be near a very hungry bear. Oh, I have an idea: Maybe Murphy can corral them and push the excess bears into

Instrument #: 52395684, in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, notice is hereby given that at March 6, 2018 at 10:00 AM at the Southeast Entrance of Philadelphia City Hall located at Broad Street and Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107. ALL THAT CERTAIN lot or piece of ground situate in Holmesburg in the Sixty-fifth, formerly part of the Forty-first Ward of the City of Philadelphia, bounded and described according to a survey made thereof dated October 10, 1952 by Howard LeQuin, Surveyor and Regulator of the 1st District as follows, to wit: BEGINNING at a point on the Southwesterly side of McMenamy Street (forty feet wide) one hundred eighteen feet two and three-eighths inches Northwestwardly from the Northwesterly side of Ditman Street (sixty feet wide) containing in front or breadth on said McMenamy street fifty feet and extending of that width in length or depth Southwestwardly between lines parallel with Jackson Street and at right angles to McMenamy Street one hundred forty two feet having a width or breadth of fifty feet on the real line thereof. Commonly known as: 4522 McMenamy Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19136. Lot #147. Being parcel number: 651165500; 117N23-147. The sale will be held on March 6, 2018 at 10:00 AM at the Southeast Entrance of Philadelphia City Hall located at Broad Street and Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $237,761.11 plus interest, costs and other charges through the sale date. Ten percent (10%) of the highest bid is the deposit required at the sale. The amount that must be paid to HUD by the mortgagors or someone acting on their behalf so that the sale may be stayed is the total delinquent amount of $237,761.11 as of December 4, 2017, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bid, all bidders, except the Secretary, must submit a deposit totaling ten percent 10% of the Secretary’s bid as set forth above in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. Each oral bid need not be accompanied by a deposit. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of ten (10%) percent must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within thirty (30) days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyance fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for fifteen (15) days, and a fee will be charged in the amount of $150.00 for each fifteen (15) day extension requested. The extension fee shall be paid in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder’s deposit will be forfeited, and the Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD Field Office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein.

At the time of Pearl Harbor, the top US Navy command was called CINCUS (pronounced “sink us”); the shoulder patch of the U.S. Army’s 45th Infantry division was the Swastika; and Hitler’s private train was named “Amerika.” All three were soon changed. More US servicemen died in the Air Corps than the Marine Corps. Actually, the 8th Air Force alone suffered about 5,000 more KIA than the entire Marine Corps in WW II. While completing the required 30 missions, an airman’s chance of being killed was 71%. Generally speaking, there was no such thing as an average fighter pilot. You were either an ace or a target.

guy (Ironworkers), has acknowledged that the benefits afforded to teachers is a financial problem for the state. This union spent $5 million of its members’ dues to try to take down Sweeney in the election last fall. They failed. As governor of New Jersey, Murphy has a seat on the Delaware River Basin Commission. The commission has five members: the governors of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and Delaware, as well one federal official. There has been no exploration and development of shale gas in the Delaware River Watershed, as the governors could not reach a consensus on environmental regulations for the extraction of natural gas. Last year, the commission voted to consider a full ban on hydraulic fracturing in the watershed. The commission put forth its ban proposal for public comment until the end of March. I think we know how Murphy will vote. As there are limited shale gas formations in New Jersey, he will not be impacting local jobs. He may be contributing to higher energy prices for his constituents, but that may be worth appeasing the anti-hydrocarbon liberals. It appears Wolf will vote for the ban also. I do find this stance amusing, given his desire for a severance tax. Does he not understand that you cannot both tax and ban the same product? This ban will have a negative impact on the value land in the area. Maybe he does not want rural Pennsylvanians, who are usually Republican, to have enough money to donate to political opponents.

(Cont. From Page 13) She more than likely ran afoul of the teachers union when she started a charter school in 2009 in an impoverished area in Newark. Yes, this teachers union helped get Murphy elected. Wolf showed some backbone when he agreed to pension reform in Pennsylvania that a lot of teacher and municipal unions did not like. Maybe Murphy did not show the same spine as he was unwilling to buck the Jersey union after he saw what this union does to Democrats who cross it.
