STATE SEN. ART HAYWOOD and State Rep. Steve McCarter co-hosted an event at Oak Street Health in Cheltenham Mall to allow constituents to enroll in affordable health-care insurance. “Health care is vital for all and this ACA Enrollment event allows neighbors to get answers to their healthcare questions and sign up for affordable insurance,” Haywood said. “Last year, the Commonwealth’s uninsured population decreased and events like this one will ensure a larger decline in uninsured neighbors.” Open enrollment ends this Saturday, Dec. 15.

At-Large Council Candidates Mount the Catwalk

POLS on the STREET

BY JOE SHAHEELI UNNING FOR Philadelphia City Council at Large is one of the most challenging feats any politician can attempt.

You’re campaigning in a year when most popular attention is focused on the mayor’s race. So you already start off down-ballot.

But you have to reach the same number of voters that the mayoral jocks are vying for with their fat budgets.

There are a million voters out there, most of them clueless on the mission of the job you’re running for.

And you’ll only be one of

R

five. Where’s your fat budget going to come from?

Nevertheless, there are quirks in the electoral system that make Council atlarge races more exciting.

Chief among them is ballot position. If you draw a high number, you may gain thousands of extra votes that could push you over the top.

In the end, though, you’re going to need friends. Endorsers with clout. People who can move votes by many digits.

With the May 21 municipal primary in mind, more than a dozen politicos are eyeing the race for at-large Council member on the Democratic ballot. There are seven atlarge Council members, five of them necessarily Democrats in these times. So the top five Democrats in the primary election are sure to be elected to that office in the November general.

At-large incumbents are at an unusual disadvantage; any one can be swept out of office in any year. It is hard for them to entrench an economic base because they

Council President Darrell Clarke (4th District) is not himself an at-large councilman. But he is content with the at-large shuffle he got four years ago and has made clear that he prefers to start off the 2020 season with as few trades as possible.

One teammate he emphatically wants by his side is Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown. Clarke was the keynoter at an in-

timate high-rolling funder at the Bellevue. “This one is not broke; don’t replace her,” he emphasized.

Reynolds Brown has a long, productive track record in artistic, educational and environmental issues.

AYOR KENNEY’S statement on the passage by Philadelphia City Council of legislation that will ensure a fair work week for retail, food-service, and hospitality workers across Philadelphia, and a separate measure that raises the “Philadelphia 21st-century minimum wage” for city workers and employees of city contractors to $15 an hour is as follows: “The Fair Work Week and Minimum Wage bills will go a long way to ensuring that our hard-working residents have the dignity of stable employment and a steady schedule,” Kenney stated.

“Poverty doesn’t just show up one day, knocking on a family’s door. Poverty works its way into households in insidious, subtle ways. These bills are an important step toward ensuring that working families don’t face those difficult choices. With today’s Council passage, I look forward now to signing both measures into law.”

Running Land Bank: With Council or Not? City Council President Darrell Clarke and Councilman Kenyatta Johnson (2nd District) put forth a bill to spur bureaucratic reforms to streamline and improve the public-land disposition process in Philadelphia.

“Five years after creation of the Philadelphia Land Bank and three years after Council’s move to consolidate planning and devel-

ment Authority, Licenses & Inspections, Commerce Department, Philadelphia Housing Development Corp., as well as nonprofits with expertise in community development. VPRC has the authority and capacity to scrutinize land-disposition

proposals and ensure their successful completion.

“These amendments will add additional layers of accountability to the land-disposition process, from start to finish,” Johnson added.

“It also puts developers who seek to game the system for

financial advantage on notice: If you misrepresent your capabilities or intentions when purchasing public land, the City of Philadelphia will exercise its authority to claw back your property for higher and better use.”

opment functions into one Cabinet-level department, district representatives, property developers, and affordable-housing advocates have been frustrated by the slow pace of increased efficiencies of public-land disposition in service to Council’s goal of equitable growth and safe, quality housing for everyone, stated the councilmen.

“The City of Philadelphia is in the enviable position of managing growth, but with that comes great responsibility to ensure that every resident – young and old, lifelong and newcomer, wealthy and poor – benefits from our growth in a fair and equitable way,” Clarke said. “We are sympathetic to the argument that dramatic reform of outdated bureaucracies takes time, and are appreciative of the hard work City employees and Department of Planning and Development leaders put in every day. But too many things are still going wrong.

The reforms I propose today will further Council’s goals of accurate appraisals, accurate record-keeping, and accountability for how developers present themselves to the city.”

Among other steps, Clarke’s bill would install the Philadelphia Land Bank as a member of the Vacant Property Review Committee and mandate review of VPRC appraisal for properties subject to VPRC’s jurisdiction.

It designates the Law Department as the agency responsible for enforcing Power of Attorney to retake possession of the property in the event of noncompliance by the purchaser.

It requires VPRC to establish written policies and procedures for property disposition and pushes the completion period for rehabilitation and/or improvement of property from one

BLOCKBUSTER investigative report

by WHYY has shed light on the increasingly controversial practice of civil-asset forfeiture as it is executed by the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office.

Civil-asset forfeiture – in this case, at least – is the policy of seizing the assets of suspects in drug cases.

This can mean cars, watches, and – most importantly for this article – homes. A suspect doesn’t need to be convicted of a crime for a property to be seized, nor

does the suspect have to own the property in question. As the article reveals, there are a number of cases where the homes of a suspect’s relative were seized over minuscule amounts of contraband; the homeowners were not even aware of the suspect’s activities.

There is no argument that the policy can be a powerful deterrent – and a huge revenue-generator. But this has frequently not been the case. A distressing number of the properties sold by the DAO have remained vacant, or have been cited for derelict condition, or flipped by speculators – including more than a few police officers – more interested in making a quick buck than shoring up a neighborhood’s already-tenuous environment.

After decades of this practice, there is real hope

for change. As a candidate, DA Larry Krasner came out firmly against civil-asset forfeiture, saying that he would “work to put an end to this abusive process by using asset forfeiture only in criminal cases after a conviction has been made, and ensuring that there is meaningful opportunity to contest any seizure.”

Steps to remedy the situation have already been taken. In September, as part of as part of an agreement to settle a 2014 class action lawsuit against the city and district attorney, the DAO agreed to begin the process of reforming its civil asset forfeiture policy and procedures.

Let’s hope it doesn’t take another exposé or lawsuit to expedite the process of only punishing the guilty and protecting the innocent.

Soda Tax Bubbles up

(Cont. From Page 6) loses some but is later exonerated on appeal, does she win back all she lost in Round 1?

A Dauphin County lawsuit sought to make that resignation happen quickly: Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo urged the judge in Brown’s case to modify her probation to include her resignation as a condition; in addition, Chardo wanted jail time for her.

These are important questions that must be answered sooner or later. It might be smarter to think about them sooner, from a sound-government point of view.

Lowery Brown decided in the end to resign, without pay for December. But now what for her constituents?

Does that mean they now get no service?

Lowery Brown’s position

should have been that as long as she continues the primary function of a state representative – providing a productive window for State services in her district – then she should be paid for it. Is anyone else stepping up to this task for the remainder of December in the 190th Legislative District?

All Philadelphians are entitled to working political representation at all times.

Beware Harrisburgers bearing pink slips; they’d rather hand them to us than to themselves.

Will Soda Tax Put Fizz into 2019?

As the municipal primary season opens, the main issue on the horizon remains the controversial Sweetened-Drinks Tax. This signature issue of Mayor Jim Kenney’s endeared him to a base that wants improvements in early education, libraries, parks and recreation centers. But

it earned him fierce opposition from sellers of sodas.

Their voting base is not insignificant – thousands of retailers earn a living by selling these beverages.

More important for a costly mayoral election, though, are the deep pockets of the national beverage industry.

Soda manufacturers have all the reason in the world to spend heavily to overturn the Philadelphia tax, since it serves as a model for similar municipal taxes across the nation.

The Black Clergy of Philadelphia & Vicinity, long influential in city politics, has come out in opposition to the soda tax, saying it unfairly burdens consumers and businesses in low-income minority communities.

The question before political strategists: can these votes, dollars and passions be transferred to a successful challenger to the incumbent mayor?

Sheriff on Tuesday, January 8, 2019 at First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, at 9:00 AM. (EST) Conditions of Sheriff ’s Sale for JUDICIAL/FORECLOSURE SALE Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price.

Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff. The Sheriff reserves the right to reject any certified check, attorney’s check or money order that on its face has an expired use date and is presented for payment of the deposit.

The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid.

Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold.

The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale. An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale.

The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be set by the City of Philadelphia. In no event will the successful bidder be allowed to settle on the property unless all the Sheriff’s costs are paid notwithstanding the final bid.

The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly.

No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County.

The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudu-

lent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the Sheriff Sale. Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine.

The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale.

All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit.

Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions. Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales

conducted by him.

AST THURSDAY, City Council passed a “Fair Workweek” bill by a 14-3 margin. The legislation was designed to provide more predictability to the lives of retail, fast-food and hotel workers.

It requires employers to give workers two weeks’ advance notice of their schedules and offer “predictability pay.” In another words, pay for not working.

Council realized his might be a hardship for small businesses, so they limited the bill to companies with more than 30

EVERYDAY PEOPLE

BY DENISE CLAY N MONDAY night, I found myself at the 1199C Union Hall at the kind of event I’m probably going to be attending a lot, now that the 2019 mayoral and City Council races appear to be ramping up.

I was at a City Council campaign announcement.

This time, it was for Isaiah Thomas, an educator who is the executive director of the Philadelphia Freedom Schools. This will be Thomas’s third time running for the Democratic nomination

locations and 250 employees. The bill also includes unionized workers who already have people negotiating work rules for them.

The three Republican Council members, DAVID OH, AL TAUBENBERGER and BRIAN O’NEILL, voted against the bill. O’Neill in particular noted that he did not think unionized workers needed those protections. Was this provision a “gimme” to Council’s union supporters by taking away a negotiation tool from employers? If so, why do these workers need to pay the union dues?

One possible speed bump is preemptive legislation in Harrisburg proposed by STATE REP. SETH GROVE (R.-York) that would stop cities from passing workplace laws. Grove believes these workplace provisions are more complex than legislators anticipate. He also challenges how any municipality can ensure

compliance. Of course, new patronage jobs necessary to monitor compliance may be music to the ears of some of our Council members.

According to COUNCILWOMAN HELEN GYM, a sponsor of the legislation, this bill will affect 130,000 people. But the question is: How will companies respond to this?

I had lunch yesterday at a restaurant with a kiosk through which I ordered my food. There was only one cashier. So the three highschool students (who would have otherwise worked there) are out of luck. Will we see more mechanization of these jobs?

I waited tables in college and graduate school. Good waiters and bartenders make good money – from tips. They do not want to come in for a shift that now looks to be slow. Only people who never worked as a waiter would think this is a good idea.

for a City Council at-large office, something he came within one scant percentage point of winning four years ago.

He joins a field that could have as many as eight people in it, and that’s just the challengers. That doesn’t include the at-large Democratic incumbents who have already said they’re running for re-election: Blondell Reynolds Brown, Allan Domb, Derek Green and Helen Gym. So I asked him a question that I don’t think is being asked enough of these challengers: Why not run for a district office?

Now, hear me out. I’m not asking this because I think that Thomas needs to aim himself at anyone.

He lives in Councilwoman Cherelle Parker’s district and he supports her. He also isn’t interested in running for office just for the heck of it.

But I’m asking because, well, being an at-large coun-

cil member doesn’t really have the advantages that being a district Council person does.

What do I mean? AtLarge Council people have to raise money for everything they do, while district Council people get a budget.

And, most importantly, district Council people have councilmanic prerogative.

(You have no doubt heard that term a lot recently as a result of some curious cityowned land sales that benefitted a friend of 2nd District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson.) That means that anything you might want to do as an at-large Council member has to go through them.

And they can say no.

So I’m hoping that anyone who does want to run for City Council in 2019 takes that into consideration … especially since there’s going to be eleventy-billion – give or take – candidates running for Council at Large.

intend to raise taxes, and then finally notice the marketplace, and then have to lower taxes, this will HURT City programs!! City Council, which always appreciates new revenue, does not want this SLAP in the face, since they are visible and will be blamed by many!

President TRUMP rightly slammed the General Motors job cuts. He tweeted that “We saved GM.” GM was BAILED OUT – but by President OBAMA! In the ongoing news stories on sales of city land, a story noted that sales were disjointed – but did not explain how (?). The use of the word “windfall” to describe profits is COOL, but sensational. Profit is the reason a developer gets involved. It is American. Most reporters do not know much about real-estate transactions – and the city land was said to be sold “below market value.”

SO WHAT? Developers WANT to buy as cheaply as

possible—but that can be FAIR VALUE. The city has TOO MANY lots and parcels. Carrying a high percentage of these TAX-EXEMPT lands hurts the CITY BOND RATING. A former mayor once appeared before the once-independent Board of Revision of Taxes and asked that the market values of city lots be reduced before a pending bond purchase. Today, Mayor Kenney controls that office (now called OPA), and all he has to do is to TELL them to make land values uniform.

SECOND LADY TONYA STACK will be honored in the near future by the Democratic Women of Pennsylvania for her work on women’s issues. She has also been a leader in support of the Michael Strange Foundation.

The Michael Strange Foundation was created

by CHARLIE STRANGE. Charlie lost his son Michael, a member of SEAL Team 6, in the war on terror. Michael Strange was on the task force that successfully took out OSAMA BIN LADEN. Weeks after the heroic operation to take down Bin Laden, Strange’s helicopter was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade.

Charlie successfully channeled his grief into positive action creating the foundation to support our heroes.

Folks who suffer from the blues during holidays should think about people like Michael Strange. It should give all of us gratitude.

Recent reporting has raised the question about what to do about City Council’s ability to have veto power in individual districts relative to real-estate development projects. There is a long-standing tradition that without the individual district Council member’s approval, the proposal is a no-go. Some say this gives too much power to a Council member. Others say who better to make a decision about development than the Council member who was elected by their neighbors to make these types of decisions.

There has been some recent controversy over a few pieces of land that were developed in the district of COUNCILMAN KENYATTA JOHNSON. A developer was able to rapidly develop the land with the councilman’s help and turn it into (Cont. Page 19)

O! HERE WE GO again with this question: Who was Simon Snyder?

Snyder Avenue honors Simon Snyder, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from 1808 to 1817.

Here are some things about Broad & Snyder you probably didn’t know. It was sent to me by Lynn S., a reader.

The people of “Downtown” say there is no official name for the area around Broad & Snyder. To them it is just ... Broad & Snyder.

The Bureau of the Census disagrees. Its Neighborhood Statistics Program defines the area west of Broad from Passyunk Avenue to Oregon Avenue and west

ing High School before the name was changed in 1915.

It wasn’t coed and there were, at one time, Quonset huts in the yard. The newest one was built in 1956.

The landmark Melrose Diner, located since 1956 on the triangle formed by 15th, Snyder & Passyunk, was originally located a block away, at 1610 W. Passyunk, on the site of what had been

to 20th Street as “Passyunk West.”

Passyunk West was the name of one of the 13 original Philadelphia County Townships that were consolidated in 1854 to create the City of Philadelphia. Passyunk is a Lenni Lenape Indian word that means “in the valley,” the area between the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers.

The east side of Broad Street from Moore Street to Oregon Avenue and east to 8th Street is the official neighborhood of “South Philadelphia.”

In 1876 there were virtually no structures at Broad & Snyder. It was then open fields and swamps with large parcels of privately owned land.

Broad Street is a state highway, but PennDOT has no records showing when it was first paved with cobblestones. Residents remember Broad Street was paved with asphalt out to Snyder in 1926 for the Sesquicentennial. Many of the surrounding streets were blacktopped at the same time.

Parker (9th Dist.), improves upon legislation that was adopted by City Council in June. It acknowledges that in Philadelphia there are numerous circumstances where individuals have a legal right to reside in a home but are not the record owner. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: tenants with an oral or lost written lease, heirs of a deceased owner who may have a “tangled title,” a former owner of a residential property sold at tax sale claiming the right to redeem under Pennsylvania law, an individual who is a buyer of the property under an installment-sales contract, or an individual with a right to reside in a residential property under the federal Protecting Tenants

at Foreclosure Act. The legislation also explicitly states that victims of domestic violence, sexual harassment or stalking cannot be deemed “criminal and defiant trespassers” to ensure that abusers cannot exploit this legislation to unlawfully evict their victims.

It further clarifies that renters who are victims of residential-lease fraud cannot be deemed “criminal and defiant trespassers.”

“As someone who represents a district with one of the highest rates of homeownership in the City, I am a strong advocate for protecting the rights of property owners.

My bill balances penalties for criminals and protections for victims and rightful dwellers,” Parker said. “My bill is (Cont. to Page 19)

Philly has been a hot real-estate market for the last 20 years with councilmanic prerogative.

Green Wants to Study PGW Sustainability In its penultimate session of 2018, City Council au-

pany takes a monthly payment from you and saves it.

They notify your creditors that they are working to get them paid. Then, once they have 50% or more of the balance owed a credit-card company; they negotiate to pay off the card in full for that percentage.

This usually works, although it’s nothing you can’t do yourself; and you are paying a monthly fee to allow the company to do this for you: Since it can take several years to raise enough money to do this and the negotiating company is being paid monthly this can be quite costly. And, of course, if you miss a payment or two, you’ll still be liable for the credit-card balances.

Meanwhile, whichever 19 of the above programs you use, your credit score won’t improve until everything is paid off.

Don’t be fooled by the claims of “nonprofit” companies. These credit negotiators may not be a “for profit company,” but you’ll still pay for the service at a hefty monthly amount.

Now let’s compare those programs with a simple bankruptcy. You’ll pay your attorney a one-time fee – and your debts will be gone in three to four months.

And you’ll start rebuilding your credit score right away.

thorized the Committee on Transportation & Public Utilities to hold hearings that will analyze and further evaluate the sustainability of the Philadelphia Gas Works.

Introduced by Councilman Derek Green (at Large), who also chairs the Philadelphia Gas Commission, the resolution aims to take a closer look at PGW – the largest municipally owned gas utility in the nation – and how to move it into the future amid greater technological advancements in energy efficiency, competitive costs for renewable-energy sources and a worsening outlook for global climate change.

“Times are changing rapidly and it’s critical that we

keep up with these changes to maintain our way of life as we know it,” said the councilman. “While we as a city stand committed to upholding the Paris Climate Accord and completely doing away with the use of industrial fossil fuels, we still must bear in mind that many of our citizens rely heavily on the utility services that PGW provides. Many do not have the resources to invest in more sustainable, energy-efficient home improvements. Therefore, as demand decreases, prices for certain ratepayers will increase. It is a double-edged sword that needs to be thoroughly examined.”

Sure … but at what cost?

There are two types of these companies. One simply takes a portion of your monthly income, negotiates with your credit-card companies to stop or lower interest and, in return, makes a monthly payment to each company. After several years of those payments your debts will be gone. Assuming, of course that you can make all the monthly payments to the credit negotiator and assuming you don’t incur any new debt. Oh yes, you’ll pay them a percentage of your income to do this – often several hundred dollars or more a year.
