Yes, saw it...

Hey, we spent over 50 million renovating a building at 46th and Market that the PPD decided they didn't want to use. So that 's 80+ million "tossed aside" !

Guess they couldn't say it was for all the union bribes, so instead "lost" it. Check with Johnny Doc.

Old school, machine-style politics allows corruption and incompetence like this to flourish without consequence. Our mayor, most of city council, and most of the bureaucracy comes from it. We need to make a serious change or else we'll forever be a second-tier city.

Vote. Run for office. Encourage millennials to get more involved in making a sea change. It's up to them to do it now.

I've voted in every single election since I've moved to Philadelphia, and every one since I've turned 18. Trust me, I encourage people to vote every chance I get. I'm not one to run for office as I don't have the patience or tendency to kiss ass that is required of a politician. I don't plan on staying in Philadelphia much longer, but this city has become the place I consider home no matter where I am, so I'm invested in it's continued success in the years to come.
