Kenney Goes for Second Term A S PHILADELPHIANS were wondering whether their mayor would run for re-election, we finally got our answer. Over the weekend, Mayor Kenney announced from his personal Twitter account that he would indeed seek a second term. “It’s been my honor to serve the people of Philadelphia – and I’m excited to announce that I’m running for re-election! Philadelphia has made tremendous progress we can be proud of, but there’s more work to do to ensure that all of our citizens can thrive,” read his statement. In a campaign video, the mayor, alongside Philadelphia parents and teachers, discussed the tremendous progress city schools have made. Under Kenney’s administration, teachers reached their first contract – and received their first raise – in five years; the City created a no-cost pre-K program that is serving thousands of low-income families; the School District of Philadelphia was returned to local control; the city committed a half-billion dollars in additional funding to public schools; and the city established a community-schools program that is helping thousands of students and their families thrive, in and outside of the classroom. Public-school teacher Ivey Welshans said, “He helped us get local control back, making sure that we have counselors, nurses in every school. He wants to make sure we are fully staffed – things that never occurred before.” In addition to investing in schools, Kenney has also launched a $500 million infrastructure program to improve city parks, libraries and recreational centers, funded by the City’s Sweet-
ened Drinks Tax. City Councilwoman Cherelle Parker (9th District) said, “The ZIP code that you live in should not determine whether or not you value yourself and/or your community.” During his first term, Kenney claimed “enormous progress” in criminal justice reform, decreasing Philadelphia’s prison population by more than 40% and closing the City’s House of Corrections. Meanwhile, he asserted, “The crime rate is at its lowest rate in 40 years.” He also prides himself on a strong but sympathetic approach to the opioid crisis – ushering hundreds into treatment while cleaning up longstanding drug encampments. Kenney expects his stand against the Trump administration will help him: he successfully defeated Attorney General Jeff Sessions in court to protect Philly’s “sanctuary city” status. Most recently, the mayor also raised the prevailing wage for city contractors to $15/hr. “If all of our children, given the right attention and the right resources, can break out of poverty, in a generation we can eliminate poverty or limit it or reduce it substantially,” Kenney said. Kenney hopes to duplicate his successful 2015 campaign that swept him into office the first time. This time around, he has the experience of doing the job to put on his résumé – something the citizens of Philadelphia will consider when they enter the voting booth in this November. As for any challengers, they now have a clear map of the incumbent’s message. It’s their job to seek flaws, develop counter-arguments and marshal discontents.
transparency and leadership from the next mayor. We met together, deliberated and ultimately held a vote to endorse Jim Kenney. Since that endorsement, Mayor Jim Kenney has been proud to wave our union banner and serves our city as an un-
compromising champion for working people.” Eiding continued, “From a $15 minimum wage for city employees and contractors to over 150 signed project labor agreements to taking local control of our public schools, the agenda of the labor movement has been the agenda of Mayor Jim Kenney.” Kenney responded to Eiding by saying, “This is probably one of the most important endorsements I will get because it represents where I came from: my father was a Philadelphia firefighter my mom worked for the Inquirer and was a member of the News Guild. I am so proud to be mayor of a city that’s a union town.”
areas that need improvements.” The material weakness identified relates to the Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive Grant Program from the U.S. Department of Justice to help the city meet obligations related to hosting the 2016 Democratic National Convention. The Managing Director’s Office, which was responsible for the oversight of after-award procedures for the Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive Grant Program, failed to adequately perform its monitoring duties. As a result, the Controller’s Office questions as unallowable the grant funds, $8.6 million, that went to the 2016 Philadelphia Host Committee. The Controller’s Office found another significant deficiency regarding the Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive Grant Program. The Managing Director’s Office and the Finance Department’s General Accounting
Unit used an incorrect grant identification number for it on the federally required Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and were unable to detect the error. It was only corrected after being identified by the Controller’s Office. Other issues with the administration of the Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive Grant Program were highlighted in an Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Department of Justice report. Other findings include the Finance Department’s General Accounting Unit not accurately disclosing total payments to subrecipients of grant funds on the SEFA; and the Fire Department submitting inaccurate amounts on semi-annual federal reporting forms. Inappropriate grant administration can result in a failure to meet grant requirements, which in turn can lead to some or all of the grant resources needing to be returned to the grantor.
MAYOR Jim Kenney was backed by a phalanx of labor leaders as he accepted AFL-CIO’s endorsement for his re-election.
These will not include most representatives of organized labor. AFL-CIO President Pat Eiding endorsed Kenney, saying, “Four years ago, our labor movement had a big decision to make. Our unions needed more cooperation,
Controller Finds Flaws In Federal Grant Handling
T
HE OFFICE OF THE City Controller released its report on compliance for federal grant programs and review of internal controls over compliance for fiscal year 2017. The report, which must be completed annually, was transmitted to the Kenney administration for the submission to the federal audit clearing house, as required. The report details its findings – four instances of non-compliance for the city’s major federal programs, including one material weakness and three significant deficiencies on internal control – and the administration’s responses to the findings. “The review of compliance with federal grant programs serves as a critical check on internal control over grant administration and management,” said City Controller Rebecca Rhynhart. “My office’s findings show that there are

Black History Month Events Coming Up
For centuries, Philadelphia’s Historic District was an active port where African individuals and families were brought to be sold, separated and sent off to enslavement. And yet, this same district was home to the nation’s largest neighborhood of free African-Americans, the 7th Ward (between Spruce and South Streets and 6th and 23rd Streets), and the first African Methodist Episcopal Church (Mother Bethel).

Philadelphia, home of the 17th-century Quaker abolitionist movement and the city where a young Harriet Tubman found freedom, played a vital role in the Underground Railroad.

POLS on the STREET BY JOE SHAHEELI HE MULTI-COUNT federal indictments against International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 98 leader John Dougherty and several key associates will rock the Philadelphia political world for months to come – right in the middle of Philadelphia’s most-important election cycle, the 2019 municipal primary in which the mayor, city commissioners and City Council members will be elected. Observers will be studying this enormous development – which likely is far from over – for years to come. But foremost on most city pols’ minds right now is what the impact will be on

the May 21 primary election. At first glance, the impact will be slight. Local 98’s man on City Council, Bobby Henon (6th District), is unlikely to face serious opposition; ironically, his seat may be the safest of all 10 district Council members. There is talk that Councilman Kenyatta Johnson (2nd District) may be swept up in the Dougherty investigation. But he has not yet been cited by name in an indictment. Even if he is, it is not clear that any opponent has the resources to mount a credible challenge. Such a move would require a swift coalition of diverse South Philadelphia activists, who are not noted for mounting swift coalitions. But 2019 is a year of surprises.

in both major parties who friendly to his view of labor. Philadelphia Republicans are reeling internally from Dougherty’s connections to some in their ranks. After Republican City Committee Secretary Jim Pio put out a “sad” response to Dougherty’s indictment, having lost in a state-rep race to a Doc-backed opponent, RCC Chairman Mike Meehan issued a cautious response in which he said, “It is obvious that these investigations predated the election of Mayor Jim Kenney in 2015 and must cause chills in the
organized-labor community. I say let them have their day in court.” Philadelphia Republicans need to get along with organized labor. But they also need to get along with upstate Republicans, who largely look down on Philadelphia unions. City Republicans who work with union leaders like IUPAT leader Joe Ashdale, who sits on the Philadelphia Parking Authority Board, are therefore vulnerable when Ashdale’s ties with Dougherty become the subject of investigation. This is a puzzle that currently ocState Rep.

“It’s very disappointing.” So said Philadelphia City Commission Chair Lisa Deeley, critiquing Gov. Tom Wolf’s budget proposal to spend only $15 million on secure voting machines throughout the commonwealth. Deeley, along with most of her County commissioners across the state, say more like $150 million is needed. Wolf’s budget proposes trickling down more vote-security funding in fu-
ture years. But vote-security professionals say we need the whole package before the 2020 election, to defend against foreign hacking.

But if all three challengers stay in, it is too crowded for any of them to win. They need to pool their resources behind one candidate if they hope to unseat an incumbent with some PR problems but still massive support. Time for all three possibles to sit down in a quiet room and candidly assess which of them has the best shot; then to coalesce behind one. Otherwise, the mayoral race will be a futile
display of time and money.

pal-election cycle for mayor and City Council.” The seeds for Marwan Kreidie’s campaign were planted way back in 2013. That was the year that the U.S. Supreme Court’s Shelby County vs. Holder decision overturned decades’ worth of enfranchisement protections by gutting the Voting Rights Act. But Kreidie had been warily watch-
ing encroachment on voting rights here in Pennsylvania two years earlier. “The first thing Gov. Tom Corbett did” upon taking office in 2011 “was to work on a Voter ID bill,” he recalled. “I’ve done work in the Middle East with new voters so eager to vote, I go back home, and there’s voter suppression. We always talk about the South”
when it comes to attempts to disenfranchise citizens, he added, “but we have one of the most restrictive systems in the country” in Pennsylvania. To effect change as a commissioner, Kreidie would take a two-track approach. First, he would work to increase registration and turnout in the city. Then, he would use
a proven track record for engagement and increased clout from the voter surge to press state legislators to enact a raft of legislation to make voting easier. This is Kreidie’s first attempt at public office, but he is far from a political neophyte. He was a delegate candidate for both Rev. Jesse Jackson and Bill Clinton, and has worked in the transition teams for Gov. Wolf, and Philadelphia Mayors Michael Nutter and Jim Kenney. An expert in civil-service reform, he served as chairman of the State Civil Service Commission. “Let’s do same-day registration, let’s do vote by mail, let’s do open primaries. California sends you something before every election with your polling places and what’s on the ballot,” he said.

Omar Sabir
if you spent any time glancing at billboards around the city during last year’s midterm election, you know Omar Sabir’s face and his push to get out the vote in the city. His nonprofit organization, Vote Philly Vote, took out space on eight billboards in Philadelphia exhorting citizens to exercise their constitutional right to enfranchisement. Between that and the group’s radio spots – both of which Sabir planned to target the key 18to-35 demographic – roughly 600,000 Philadelphians got the message to go to the polls. “Participation doubled in that age group” compared to the 2014 midterm, Sabir said, crediting the push as just one factor driving the historic turnout among younger voters. For Sabir, six years spent on the staff of state Sen. Vincent Hughes helped crystallize and further his drive to run for commissioner. With a front-row seat to how things worked in the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, where Hughes has long served as its Democratic Chairman, Sabir learned the simple

math. “Voter apathy affects us getting resources,” he explained. Without turnout numbers befitting the city’s enormous rolls, there is less reason for Harrisburg to pay attention. To make legislators pay attention, Sabir would enact a multipronged effort to drive voter participation. “I want to make the office more accessible, transparent, modernized,” he said. To do so, he plans on applying the lessons he has learned during a varied career that has seen him begin as a driver for thenState Rep. Louise Bishop rise to become a Traffic Court judge, a Hughes staffer and a committee person in the 34th Ward who helped raise voter turnout there from 25% in 2014 to 60% in 2018. In addition to increasing the office’s presence in traditional media like billboards and radio, Sabir wants to reach out via social media and grassroots avenues like barbershops and local businesses.

Now, Who’s in For at-Large Seats? On the Republican side, West Philadelphia’s 24th Ward Leader Matt Wolfe is all in. Wolfe announced his strong support of the U.S. Attorney’s civil lawsuit to stop Safehouse and others from setting up safe injection sites in Philadelphia. “This activity is clearly illegal under federal law. It is very troubling that City Hall has, yet again, decided to ignore the law to further its own political agenda,” Wolfe stated. “If City Hall permits the opening safe injection sites, Philadelphia would be the only place in the United States that allows such a program. Just like the soda tax, City Hall wants to be ‘first’ to enact extreme progressive policies, no matter how destructive they may be. Even California’s gov-

He is now of retirement age. “Greenlee has been a reliable progressive voice in Council,” commented Council President Darrell Clarke. “He shepherded paid sick leave through a gauntlet of opposition, sponsored anti-wage theft legislation, and supported the soda tax. But running at large, incumbency is less of an advantage, especially this year, when the Democratic primary ballot is expected to be crowded.”
ernor vetoed a bill a few months ago permitting safe injection sites in his state because of the harm they will undoubtably cause. “Safe injection sites are simply not the answer, he added. “I have great sympathy for those who don’t want these facilities in their neighborhoods.” On the Democratic side, Justin DiBerardinis has gotten a boost of endorsements. “Justin will work to bring equity and opportunity to every neighborhood in this city,” said State Rep. Jason Dawkins (D-Kensington). “I know Justin DiBerardinis through his work leading Bartram’s Garden in Southwest Philadelphia,” said Rep. Joanna McClinton (D-W. Phila.), whose Southwest and West Philadelphia district includes Bartram’s Garden. “I’ve seen his commitment to empowering community leaders and building an inclusive vision for our city parks.” State Rep. Jordan Harris (DS. Phila.), whose district borders Bartram’s Garden, said, “Justin DiBerardinis is a proven leader who understands that we need large coalitions and real unity to overcome the big challenges our city faces.” Former Gov. Ed Rendell praised DiBerardinis’ enthusiasm, energy and vision. DiBerardinis reported nearly $145,000 in cash on hand at the end of 2018, leading the field among Democratic challengers and third overall.

N SATURDAY, I opened the weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal, the largest business newspaper (in terms of circulation) in the U.S. As I was drinking my morning tea, I paused at an article entitled “Philly Union Boss Johnny Doc Has an Appointment with Justice.” Usually, I cringe when I see my beloved city in the national news, because it is probably not flattering. This was an article on International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers’ Union

Local 98 BUSINESS MANAGER JOHN DOUGHERTY’S indictment and arrest by the FBI. Apparently, from comments in the article, the author, JILLIAN KAY MELCHIOR, has been following Johnny Doc’s alleged criminal activity for quite a while. I wondered why the author would be interested in the antics of the business manager of a union with 5,000 members, which makes the labor group not that large in the grand scheme of things. I bet Melchior does not know the names of most of our City Council members. But that makes sense: Johnny Doc is a more powerful political figure. It is reported that Dougherty is the largest source of political contributions in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The indictment contains 161 counts spread over as many pages. The indictment includes not only Johnny Doc but also six Local 98 employ-
ees and/or affiliates, including City COUNCILMAN BOBBY HENON. Henon, the former political director of Local 98, still is reportedly being paid $73,000 a year by Local 98 on top of his $140,000 City Council salary. The indictment alleges that Johnny Doc, despite earning $522,000 in 2016, had an affinity for what former STATE SEN. VINCE FUMO called OPM – other people’s money. Expenditures on Dougherty’s union credit card included not just expenditures for lavish meals, but also items such as baby items and DANIELLE STEELE novels. He is also accused of using union employees on union time to do work for him and others. Dougherty is also accused of physically intimidating people. Non-union contractor JOSHUA KEENE accused Johnny Doc of punching him and breaking his nose. Apparently, the case (Cont. Page 27)

The folks at the Lenfest Foundation were kind enough to pick up the tab for two years.) As part of the first meeting in our new space, we had Alan Butkovitz, the former city controller who is now a candidate for mayor, come and speak to us about his candidacy. Because of this, I’m going to need a favor from the readers of the Public Record. I’ll get to the ask in a minute. With a platform promising to clean up City Hall, create jobs by dredging the port and creating the next generation of longshoremen, reinstating Mayor John Street’s Operation Sunshine and sending more police into violence prone neighborhoods, Butkovitz spoke to us about his hopes for the city under his
leadership. Because it was a room filled with Black journalists, the Black community was his focus. He promised that if he became mayor he’d do more with minority setasides, focus on poverty, and all the other things that people tend to come into rooms filled with Black people and say. For one thing, he says he’ll be more inclusive. “[Mayor Jim] Kenney promised a coalition government, but instead he has a narrow, exclusive group of the guys he grew up with,” Butkovitz said. “There are no Black people in positions of power.” (My guess is that Commerce Director Harold Epps might have something to say about that.) He also chided the mayor for not having enough anti-violence in his anti-violence plan, and for, and I quote, turning indicted Local 98 Business Manager (Cont. Page 27)

HE INQUIRER ran a front-page story about an Unnamed City Councilman needing “a hug” to support the soda tax. This is from the secret federal grand jury, which handed down a 116-count indictment on COUNCILMAN BOBBY HENON, Local 98 leader JOHN DOUGHERTY and several others. Surprise! The Inquirer then identified the secret councilman as KENYATTA JOHNSON. And they say their sources are Unnamed. This is another way of say-
then, still feeling my oats, did my neighbor next door; and then I needed to go two doors down to the handicapped guy. Philly culture. I would offer to shovel for the reporter, since I worry that he might be too frail.... The article mentioned that the DOC indictment suggested that the brothers remain close. What? Why should brothers NOT remain close? It will be a LONG ROAD to a trial. There will be many opportunities for all reporters. All they need are different slants. It sells papers. I asked a reporter what was next and was told to stay tuned. That troubled me, since I wonder if there is news that the public NEEDS TO KNOW now (?). In one article about KINGMAKERS, a writer mentions that unions have not benefited the city since we are the POOREST big city in America. CBS, citing the Brookings Institution, lists Philly
as third. Time has Detroit as first. Wikipedia does NOT list Philly in the top 10 (?). The writer then suggests that the primary election can be a referendum on Dougherty. It will be instead a referendum on incumbents and challengers. A writer on the MYTH of John Dougherty (who was a few years young in the Ronald REAGAN era) did not seem to know that Reagan WAS a working-class hero. He also noted that the higher cost of union building forced the city to rely heavily on the 10-year abatement. BALDERDASH! The BOLD and supporting words for Dougherty by AFL-CIO President Pat EIDING were appreciated. Still I feel that defending yourself in federal court can be an exercise in FUTILITY. And I have seen many character witnesses appear at a sentencing, to no avail. To me, it is a waste of time. Judges (Cont. Page 26)
ing that the feds gave them the name. What’s interesting is that there is nothing illegal about finding a way to get someone to vote for a piece of legislation as long it’s not a straight bribe. That’s how politics has always been done. And from the story it doesn’t even appear that there is an overt offer to do anything. There is an amorphous conversation about the possibility that maybe a job would be available in which Johnson’s wife would be well qualified. Sure, if one reads between the lines, it’s obvious that they’re offering a job for his wife. But that’s politics and it’s not illegal. At least it wasn’t until recent years. So now nothing can be offered to sway someone to vote for legislation that they may not be inclined to support. Probably the most-inappropriate thing about the offer was that it came from a non-legislative leader
in Dougherty; but private citizens have always had a stake in what goes on in government. And in past centuries; they’ve been allowed to be involved. RALPH CIPRIANI, in his book about VINCE FUMO, points out that it’s illegal for the feds to leak grand-jury testimony. But they did that day after day to get a big conviction against Fumo. The media are well aware that this is illegal, yet they lap it up. And they are doing it now in the Local 98 case. The Inquirer and the Daily News feel it’s not their responsibility if the feds are breaking federal law so long as they can burn politicians at the stake. As the mayor’s race shapes up, ANTHONY HARDY WILLIAMS, the state senator who ran for governor and mayor in the past, may enter the race. ALAN BUTKOVITZ, the former City controller is already in.

voters on the question (September 2017) revealed that almost 6 of 10 voters (59%) supported legalization. This was up from about 2 in 10 (22%) in the first year the question appeared in the poll (2006). The issue, however, has partisan overtones despite its majority support. While Democrats strongly support legalization, Republicans are less supportive. Some 66% of Democratic voters in the state favor legalization compared to only 42% of Republicans. Consequently, Pennsylvania is not likely to be the 11th state to make recreational marijuana legal.

Fetterman already strongly advocates legalization. One other leading state official has advocated its legalization – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale. He argues that the State would gain more than a half a billion dollars in revenues from regulating and taxing marijuana consumption. Already, some 33 states have legalized marijuana use in some form. Ten have legalized recreational use with the remainder (including Pennsylvania) adopting “medical marijuana.” In Pennsylvania, popular support for legalizing marijuana is large and growing.

the WAFFLE MAN
Y
O! HERE WE GO again. My friend Charlie tells me one of the best stories I’ve heard this year about the creative practice of illegally reserving parking spaces, which has really become an obsession, even in good weather. During the recent snowstorm, a guy shoveled the snow from his steps, sidewalk and street in front of his own house. His wife, three daughters and two young sons carefully brought this large piece of furniture down the front steps. They were clearly struggling, too. The two family dogs made the job even more difficult for the group, biting at the couch, getting in the way, and barking. Then a few of the kids in the front slipped, lost their grip and the couch went flying down the steps, knocking everyone down. “Mr. Shovel Guy” warned them to be careful with the couch. The din of their yelling back and forth filled the cold winter air!
Finally, the tribe managed to maneuver the couch into the parking space in the street. After getting it exactly positioned, the whole family sat down on the couch out in the cold street to catch their collective breaths. “Mr. Shovel Guy” then walked away with intentions to return with his car. The family sat patiently on the couch out there in the snow, occasionally waving off potential parking-space poachers while the dogs barked at the traffic slipping and sliding by. Suddenly, two snowplows made their way through the street. The waiting family and couch, with the open end facing the road, became partially buried in three feet of plowed snow! The family retreated into their home. “Mr. Shovel Guy” returned later but not with his car. It seems he got involved in an accident four blocks away and he was beaten up by the three occupants of the car he ran into. When he finally did get home from the hospital, he also had a very hard time with his two next-door neighbors for shoveling snow onto their property. And what about the couch? The family had left it outside in the street full of snow and very wet. I guess they figured it would dry out. Two days later, on the normal trash pickup day, the couch was re-
moved from the street by city sanitation workers. And here is another story about people shoveling the snow for a parking space in front of their house. This apparently is a problem for the Philadelphia police every winter. What happens is that somebody will slave away for however many hours it takes to shovel out a car-sized space in front of his or her house, naturally so he can park his car here. When he goes back to get his car in order to park it in the newly cleared space. He finds the space has been taken by another car. He is, well, upset. What most people do is write nasty notes, etc. and place them on the windshield of the offending vehicle. Where the police get involved, however, is the occasional case where the individual vents his wrath in somewhat more-violent means. Tires and throats have been slashed over this and gunshots sometimes ring out. This fellow got creative. Instead of doing the usual nasty stuff, he got out his garden hose and watered the automobile down ... real well. I mean, very, very thoroughly. The water, of course, froze solid. When the owner returned, instead of a car, he found a car-sized Popsicle. The note on the car read, “You really want the parking space? Here, it’s yours until spring!”

Q
to choose an attorney. Bankruptcy law is not about filling out forms. You do file forms in bankruptcy, but the job requires a lawyer because it is not obvious what information goes in those forms and what the implications of that information is to the conduct of the case. You can fill out the form properly, and find that the Chapter 7 trustee is suing your mother for the money you repaid her before bankruptcy. Ouch! While it’s not rocket science, it isn’t about the forms. Just the facts. Here’s my checklist for evaluating a prospective bankruptcy lawyer. • How much of the lawyer’s practice is bankruptcy cases for individuals?
• Does the lawyer ask about
your goals in filing? you get a chance to talk and are you really heard? • Does the attorney explain your choices and the legal procedures in language you can understand? • Are you comfortable asking questions and disclosing the difficult and messy situations in your financial life? • Are you offered a written representation agreement that you can understand that tells you what services are included in the quoted fee? • Do you get real, unhurried facetime with the lawyer, not staff?

Instrument #: 52395684, in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, notice is hereby given that on February 21, 2019 at 10:00 AM at the Southeast Entrance of Philadelphia City Hall located at Broad Street and Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107 all real property and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises will be sold at public action to the highest bidder: ALL THAT CERTAIN lot or piece of ground with the buildings and improvements thereon erected SITUATE on the South side of Daly Street at the distance of One Hundred and Seventy feet Westward from the West side of Second Street in the 39th Ward of the City of Philadelphia. CONTAINING in front or breadth on the said Daly Street Fourteen feet and extending of that width in length or depth Southward between parallel lines at right angles with the said Daly Street Forty-eight feet to a certain Four feet wide alley leading into and from the said Second Street.

Being parcel number: 31S17-98; 391099400. The sale will be held on February 21, 2019 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 $151,390.23 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 $151,390.23 as of November 1, 2018, 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.

DePasquale to Audit Philly Vote Deal
A
UDITOR GENERAL Eugene DePasquale has announced his probe into county purchasing of new voting systems will include a review of Philadelphia’s procurement process, which is moving into its next phase this week. “Because Philadelphia is such a huge county, this may be one of the bigger election contracts in the United States,” DePasquale said. “Whoever wins it, it’s a big deal for that company.” In November, the City issued a Request for Proposals to replace its voting system. The submission deadline was Dec. 28, 2018. The process was put on a fast track so that the City could have new equipment in place well ahead of the 2020 presidential election. “I have many questions: Did anyone in Philadelphia City government fully vet the RFP process to make sure that security concerns and accessibility for voters with disabilities were given strong enough consideration? Who wrote the request? Did anyone meet with a lobbyist? Did anyone get taken to dinner? Did anyone receive a donation or trip? “It would appear the Request for Proposals was written to favor one vendor,” DePasquale added.
“I understand the need to move quickly, but I don’t think there was a full accounting of the process. It’s up to Philadelphia to decide how to proceed, but I’m going to pursue answers to these questions.” In December, DePasquale announced that he would review purchasing of voting systems by counties after it was reported that Luzerne County’s elections director accepted trips from a vendor that was selected to provide voting equipment. Philadelphia is one of nine counties that did not respond to DePasquale’s request for information by the Feb. 8 deadline. “If vendors lobbied Luzerne County, does anyone think they wouldn’t lobby Philadelphia, too?” DePasquale said. In April 2018, the Pennsylvania Department of State told counties they have until the end of 2019 to select new voting systems that feature a paper record, which allows for more accurate post-election audits. The new systems are to be in use no later than the 2020 primary, and preferably by the November 2019 general election. Counties may choose from among any of the voting systems that are certified by both the federal and State governments.

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-
SHERIFF’S SALE 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. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale.

WALKING the BEAT (Cont. From Page 16) might already have a sentence in mind. The author of “Licensed to Lie” – a former prosecutor – wrote that judges believe that prosecutors will do the right thing. She wrote that these cases leave a path of destruction and devastate families (finances included). I have seen this.

(Cont. From Page 17) And for a while – two years at least, probably much longer – they will prevent any substantial legalization of recreational marijuana. But like the little Dutch boy who plugged a dike with his finger, these marijuana opponents are likely to be swept away by the tide of public opinion supporting legalization, augmented by the growing wave of legalization legislation moving forward in neighboring states. Marijuana will eventually be legalized in Pennsylvania for a variety of other reasons: the drug is already widely used, scarce police resources are overwhelmed trying to stop it, legalization will

the General Assembly. Does that mean Pennsylvania will never legalize marijuana? No. It does mean that before legalization is achieved, there will be a repetition of a pattern observed repeatedly when the state is confronted with the adoption of a popular but still controversial measure. Pennsylvania punts, waiting as long as possible before being dragged kicking and screaming into modern times. The forces arrayed against legalization will ignore public opinion indefinitely until one of two inevitable things happen: 1. Either Pennsylvania will become surrounded by states already legalizing marijuana while putting
the state at a competitive 27 disadvantage; (New Jersey, Delaware, and New York, all bordering Pennsylvania, are moving toward legalization), or: 2. Or another revenue crunch similar to the half-dozen or so the state has experienced since the 1990s will precipitate a fiscal crisis causing legislators to discover that a bunch of new revenue from legalization is possible without raising taxes. Meantime, the Legislature will ignore solid science, continue to pursue unsound public policies and scorn public opinion – until they run out of choices. It would be nice this time if they just skipped all of that and did the job they were elected to do.
told these candidates that they had to be willing to “execute” City Council President Darrell Clarke. Apparently, Clarke hadn’t been deferential enough to Dougherty despite the fact that the union leader’s handpicked councilman, Bobby Henon, was the current Majority Leader. So the plan was to stack Council with people who would vote him out. (I still have questions about how Henon ended up replacing Councilman Curtis Jones in that position, especially since it seemed to all that Jones was doing a good job in the post. Maybe someone will answer that question during this election cycle.) When I asked for the name of this Council-at-Large candidate, Butkovitz refused to give it to me on the record. That didn’t surprise me much. With an ever expanding field, and the pos-
sibility of someone who could thin it out considerably once they throw their hat into the ring, no one wants to stand out in that way. But I know that someone among the politicos that read this newspaper can tell me who it is … and will do so on the record. So if you can help me, I’d really appreciate it. If you can give me contact information, that’s a double bonus. Please send both to denisethewriter1@gmail.com. I’ll use it in a future column. You see, I live my journalistic life by the code given to me by a former journalism professor at Temple. That code? If your Mama says she loves you, have it verified by at least two sources. Because of this, unsubstantiated claims have no place in this dojo. Thanks in advance!

cantly, he could put his own money into the race and outgun all the other candidates, including the incumbent JIM KENNEY. The campaign-finance law is ridiculous. It creates arbitrary limits unless you’re super-wealthy. And in that case there are no limits. Former CONGRESSMAN OZZIE MYERS was caught on tape saying “money talks and bullsh#t walks.” That hasn’t changed.
(Cont. From Page 16) ALLAN DOMB has commissioned a $32,000 poll. The reason that’s interesting is that’s an expensive poll and is usually indicative of someone who is getting ready to put their foot in the water.

cut directly into the incentives for organized crime, and legalizing will provide a safer supply of it to the millions that now consume it. In addition, the revenues collected from taxing marijuana use, together with the multi-billion-dollar industry it will produce, will create employment for thousands while dramatically lessening the perennial state and local government fiscal stress Pennsylvanians now endure. Alas, these argument are unlikely to move Pennsylvania a single day closer to legalization. Marijuana opponents make the arguments that it’s a “gateway” drug, quite addictive, and that it contributes to crime, while ensuring that that any effort to legalizing it won’t pass

(Cont. From Page 16) was compelling enough for then-DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY LAURIE MALONE to recommend criminal charges. Soon thereafter, the criminal charges were 86ed, and Malone claims that then-DISTRICT ATTORNEY SETH WILLIAMS (now incarcerated) demoted her and greatly reduced her pay due to her “lack of loyalty.” Not only did PACs under Dougherty’s control donate to Williams’ campaign for DA, but they also paid for a $4,600 “scholarship” for Williams’ daughter to attend a summer camp in Europe. Henon remains on City Council. His fellow Council members cannot remove him (as it should be) unless he is convicted. However, they can remove him from his position of majority leader and his committee assignments. The indictment alleges that Henon bragged about pushing through the soda tax in part to punish another union, Teamsters Local 830, which ran a political ad critical of Johnny Doc.
By some accounts, the soda tax cost 165 Teamsters their jobs owing to reduced distribution of soda in the city. While I am not a fan of the soda tax, I find the most appalling allegation was Councilman Henon’s attempt to intimidate administrators at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia into using his preferred installers for medical diagnostic equipment. It is reported that CHOP informed them that they needed to use the equipment provider’s installers or jeopardize the warranty on the machines. But apparently that did not deter Henon, as the indictment stated that Henon got his contacts at L&I to shut down the installation of MRI equipment. CHOP is probably the best pediatric hospital in the U.S. Who retards the installation of diagnostic equipment for critical ill children, let alone an expensive warranty, for a handful of union jobs? This indictment is federal. The court hearing the case will be federal, which means it will be harder for Dougherty and Henon to emerge from this unscathed.
