ast week Mayor Kenney proposed the Fiscal Year 2021 Budget and FY21FY25 Five Year Plan, which feature important new investments focused on the top priorities for his second term, including reducing gun violence, investing in education, and making streets safer and cleaner. “The key investments in this Plan and the Capital Program will advance these specific goals, and ultimately help lift at least 100,000 Philadelphians out of poverty—a priority I know we all share,” the Mayor said in his address to City Council. “These investments continue programs we know are working well for our residents such as PHLpreK, Community Schools and Rebuild. They also fund the commitments we’ve made to

prioritize key issues over the next four years.” In his fifth budget address to City Council, the Mayor elaborated on investments that fall under his five second term priorities: • A safer and more just city • Quality education for all • Cleaner and safer streets • Inclusive and resilient neighborhoods • A more diverse, efficient, and effective government The Mayor vowed to work hand-in-hand with Councilmembers over the next few months as the lawmakers review the spending plan. “As we work through these priorities, I am confident that none of us will lose sight of the greater goal we all share—to continued on page 8

In 2002, Malmberg was a leader of the industry coalition of seven compounding pharmacies that argued successfully before the Supreme Court of the United States that the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997, which prohibited pharmacists from advertising or promoting compounded drugs, was a violation of their First Amendment rights.

Pennsylvania Representative Chris Rabb Gives a Lesson in Civics to Drexel University Students and Community Neighbors By Haywood Brewster Staff Reporter

ficials, community members can have a tangible impact on the matters

ennsylvania Representative Chris Rabb visited a Side-by-Side class at Drexel’s Dornsife Center for Neighborhood Partnerships to explain how laws are made at the state level. Rabb represents the 200th legislative district, which includes Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy, and part of West Oak Lane. Drexel students and neighbors in a public speaking course learned that effective lawmaking begins with effective communication. Drexel’s Side-by-Side courses bring college students and community residents together to create a mutually respectful learning environment where everyone can learn from each other. The winter course in public speaking is taught by Lawrence Souder, a teaching professor in the Department of Communication in Drexel’s College of Arts and Sciences. Souder said: “Whenever I can, I try to bring guests into my courses to show the rough-and-tumble of real-world communication.” Souder thinks that Rabb was ideally suited as a guest speaker in his course. Rabb’s election in 2016 is a testament to his effective communication skills. In a predominately Democratic district, he defeated the incumbent, who had the support of the Democratic establishment. Rabb attributes his successful election to a combination of what he called, “High-tech and high-touch.” He used social media strategically but also walked the streets and knocked on doors. Rabb described how complex state politics can be with so many stakeholders and special interests. He explained how listening is the route to knowing both your constituents and your opponents. Rabb said: “If I

for Mr. Rabb to speak to Souder’s students at the Dornsife Center, asked the last question during Q&A: “How do you get your colleagues on the opposite side of the aisle to listen to you?”

Rabb responded: “It’s important to understand and value the issues of other community members that you may not personally face yourself. By standing together and connecting with local of-

The reason why Barry’s kinfolk have consigned James Dunne to the farther shadows of the family chronicles is that Dunne served for almost ten years as the last Irish Catholic head of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. This was the police force run by the British overlords, and many Irish saw those policemen who served the British – especially as the head of this constabulary – as quislings. Irish independence did not eradicate the contempt most Irish nationalists felt for those who had been loyal to the British crown as the Irish struggle for independence heated up, and Dunne became a pariah for spending so much time on the wrong side of history. The play opens in 1932, in a psychiatric asylum where Dunne has been shunted oﬀ by his family. It then swings back and forth between this setting and various scenes, ten years earlier, when Dunne was in his last days as head of the Metropolitan Police. The 1922 version of Dunne is a proud man who staunchly defends his position and the work he does in “keeping Dublin safe”. The older Dunne is treading the murky waters of mild dementia: certain past incidents get

tangled up with other events, people from his distant past get confused with visitors from the present. The most signiﬁcant visitor who drops in on Thomas Dunne at the asylum is his only son, Willie Dunne, who was actually killed ﬁghting for Britain in the Great War. Still alive in ’32 are Dunne’s three daughters, though only one pays him a visit. (The youngest has a legitimate excuse, as she has moved to Cleveland.) His two grandsons refuse to visit, because they’re afraid of this wonky old man; one of them thinks of Dunne as a kind of latter-day Fagin, the principal villain of Oliver Twist. The earlier scenes give us the background to Dunne and the problems he encountered with his daughters and his countrymen who scorn him as a traitor, but the main emotional focus of Steward of Christendom is Dunne’s days in the asylum. At one point, Dunne laments that “Tis a cold wind that holds no forgiveness.” The main thrust of Steward of Christendom is Dunne’s quest for forgiveness. He needs the forgiveness of

his family, but to get that, he first needs to discover how to forgive himself. His pride makes that part of the quest the more difficult, but without the remnants of his pride, Dunne would shrink into a completely pathetic figure. This is a demanding play, and the solid performances of the Irish Heritage Theatre cast prove able to meet the demands. At the center of it all is, fittingly, Monroe Barrick as Thomas Dunne. Barrick manages to peel off the various layers of this character, letting us see the suffering man beneath the battered pride, the clouds of dementia, and the shaky relationships with his family. Dunne’s three daughters present a fine study in contrasts, a strange triangle wherein each one plays nicely against the others. Stephanie Iozza is quite strong as Annie, the puritanical sister who tries to impose her vision of a respectable Irish home on the others. Having convinced herself that she’ll never be able to land a husband, Annie resents the romantic success of middle sister Maud and youngest sis-

ter Dolly’s breezy pursuit of fun. Brittany Holdahl is a resilient foil to Iozza’s Annie. She shows us how a young Irish woman of that time could fight for what she wanted without quite drawing any family blood. Donovan Lockett’s Irish accent is questionable at best, and keeps slipping off. However, Lockett is very strong at using her face and her body language to convey the character. In fact, every scene where Lockett’s Dolly appears takes on an extra spark because of Lockett’s performance. The other members of the cast also fulfil their duties nicely, and director Jim Schlatter sees to it that Barry’s script works as a piece of theatre and not just a series of soliloquies interspersed with background scenes. I should end this review with a few warnings: when you come to experience The Steward of Christendom, come ready to do some dogged listening. This is a very talky play, and stage action is minimal. Also, some familiarity with the Irish idiom will be most helpful, and you might also like to brush up on the Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil War that followed.

launch the pathbreaking Octavius Catto Scholarship program. “We have a simple but vital goal— to significantly increase graduation rates for full-time CCP students,” the Mayor told Councilmembers. Cleaner and safer streets The budget includes funding to improve the condition and safety of Philadelphia streets. Following a successful pilot in FY20, the City will significantly expand street sweeping through a $10.5 million investment in street cleaning crews and vehicles, bringing the total FY21 budget for the Streets Department to $118.5 million (not including the $51.5 million for trash and recycling disposal). Other funding and capital projects further the Mayor’s commitment to street paving and improving the condition of our roadways, as well as Vision Zero’s goal of eliminating all trafficrelated deaths and severe injuries by 2030 and providing more protected bike lanes. Inclusive and resilient neighborhoods The budget and Five Year Plan propose significant investments to drive economic mobility, raise incomes, grow businesses, and support neighborhoods hit the hardest by crime and opioids. Included are wage increases for the youth summer jobs program, WorkReady, and $3.3 million to the Department of Public Health and Managing Director’s Office to expand prevention and analytical capabilities to address the opioid crisis. The Five Year Plan continues historic investments in housing affordability, homeless services, and homeownership. From FY19 through the end of this Plan, $115 million is earmarked for contributions to the Housing Trust Fund. There is nearly $33 million over the Five Year Plan to expand rent support to stabilize households living in poverty, with a focus on youth aging out of foster care, low-income working families, and individuals with disabilities. The goal of this new initia-

tive, PHLRentAssist, is to ultimately help move youth and families out of poverty by preventing eviction and housing instability. In order to promote growth throughout the City, the Plan has over $200 million in wage and business tax cuts including an extension and acceleration of reductions to the net income side of the BIRT. No tax rate increases are being requested, and the Five Year Plan includes a major change long requested by the Philadelphia business community: moving to Market-Based Sourcing in Tax Year 2023. With Market-Based Sourcing, receipts are taxable at the location where the customer is or the benefit is received, rather than where the business does the work. This provides a better measure of the economic profit a company derives from a given marketplace. A more diverse, efficient, and effective government The Five Year Plan calls for $300 million in capital funding to modernize services, including streamlining and integrating business processes across finance, procurement, and other departments. The Office of Innovation and Technology will receive $22.5 million for network infrastructure improvements and other applications used by departments. Several departments will receive funding to support the transition from antiquated IT infrastructure to modern systems that will offer efficiency and customer service improvements, like the new Integrated Tax System in the Department of Revenue, which will add self-service functionality and improve operations. Those investments are all made in the context of maintaining the City’s fiscal health. The FY21 fund balance is six percent of the budget, which is the low end of the City’s internal target, but still far below the amount recommended by experts. Having a moderate fund balance is especially important to ensure that we are prepared for an economic slowdown.

Tips to Avoid Coronavirus Financial Scams

arrisburg, PA – As the nation continues to respond to the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Department of Banking and Securities is urging Pennsylvanians to be wary of potential financial scams trying to take advantage of the situation. “Consumers should be on alert for increased fraud during major events such as the outbreak of COVID-19,” said Acting Secretary Richard Vague. “Scams are becoming increasingly more sophisticated and scam artists are taking advantage of people, making every attempt to separate you from your hard-earned money.” Consumers should be vigilant about protecting their finances and should not share financial or other sensitive information with anyone contacting you unsolicited. Consumers and businesses cannot afford to take

every financial opportunity or transaction at face value. “We all wish we could expect everyone to act with integrity and credibility, but too many scam artists prey on our good intentions to trust,” said Acting Secretary Vague. “Scam artists are manipulative and all of us must remain ever vigilant. With a few simple precautions, you can help detect and prevent this from happening to you or a loved one.” Frequent characteristics of scams include: • Sense of urgency and limited time offers. Scammers will attempt to prompt you into immediate action and catch you off guard. No government agency will call you asking for payment or take punitive action against you if you don’t act quickly. • Payment with wire transfer or gift cards. Once information is

provided, the money is essentially gone and you cannot get it back. • Secrecy and the need to not tell anyone. Never make a decision without consulting a credible and trustworthy source.å • Low or minimal risks with guaranteed high returns. Be cautious of any offer that guarantees a high rate of return with little or no risk or does not disclose risk. • Unsolicited offers, including social media avenues. A new post on your Facebook wall, a tweet mentioning you, a direct message, an email, a text, a phone call, or any other unsolicited communication regarding an investment “opportunity” related to coronavirus (COVID-19). Pennsylvanians can protect themselves by actively exercising caution. If you have received
