  • Philadelphians' Efforts to Create a Green, Sustainable City Are
    http://weeklypress.com/print_this_story.asp?smenu=1&sdetail=1332 7/14/09 9:56 AM Philadelphians’ efforts to create a green, sustainable city are beginning to bear fruit By Raymond Simon | On April 29, Mayor Michael Nutter released "Greenworks Philadelphia," his framework for transforming Philadelphia into America’s greenest city. Then, on May 15, the Energy Coordinating Agency graduated its first class of low-skilled workers retrained for green-collar jobs. Philadelphia’s initial attempts to transform itself have been so successful that United States Representatives Robert Brady, Chaka Fattah and Allyson Schwartz would like them to serve as a model for towns and cities across America. Consequently, they convened a congressional field hearing entitled "Vibrant Communities, Healthy Waters, and Job Opportunities" on Monday, May 18 at the Academy of Natural Sciences. A congressional field hearing is loosely defined as any congressional committee meeting held outside of Washington D.C. Field hearings vary in tone and formality. At some, witnesses are sworn in, but Monday’s meeting was relaxed and informal. Six local experts in greening, sustainability and energy conservation testified: Blaine Bonham, Paul Bonney, Elizabeth Garland, Howard Neukrug, Liz Robinson, and Susan Wachter. The hearing’s purpose was threefold: sharing information; publicizing Philadelphia’s efforts in order to attract more funding to the region; and holding up Philadelphia as an example for the rest of the nation. Congresswoman Schwartz chaired the morning’s first panel discussion, which included testimony from Bonham, executive vice president of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society; Neukrug, director of the Philadelphia Office of Watersheds; and Wachter, a professor of real estate and finance at Penn’s Wharton School of Business.

    Introduction CeaseFire Pennsylvania 1 is the advocacy arm of CeaseFirePA, Pennsylvania’s leading gun violence prevention organization. We seek commonsense legislative reforms to reduce gun violence, stop the flow of illegal guns into our communities, and keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have them. We proudly work with mayors, police chiefs, and local, state and federal elected officials along with more than 40,000 citizen activists in cities and towns across Pennsylvania. For more information about our mission and accomplishments, please visit www.ceasefirepa.org . CeaseFire Pennsylvania wants the public to know where the candidates for Governor stand on the issue of gun violence prevention. We sent a questionnaire to each official candidate in the gubernatorial primary to be held May 20. The questionnaire was designed to assess the candidate’s position on commonsense gun violence prevention measures and the level of importance each candidate attributes to reducing gun violence. Nineteen specific proposals were presented to the candidates. These proposals are based on judicial rulings about permissible regulation of firearms and ammunition and laws that other states have enacted in working to stem the flow of illegal guns and reduce gun violence. We analyzed the responses, and have prepared this Voters Guide, just as we did during the 2010 gubernatorial campaign. Four candidates 2 – all Democrats -- submitted responses – Rob McCord, Katie McGinty, Allyson Schwartz, and Tom Wolf. Their responses are provided and analyzed in this report. Significantly, each of the responding candidates expressed strong support for important gun violence prevention measures. Schwartz and McGinty unequivocally supported every proposed measure; McCord supported 84% of the proposed measures, and Wolf supported 79%.

The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) provides critical support to na- tional and state parks across America. Yet Congress raided the program last year— leaving parks without the resources they so desperately need. And the parks budget proposed by Congress for the upcoming year completely zeroes out the LWCF, leaving our parks more vulnerable to the effects of drilling, mining, development PennEnvironment staff and volunteers discuss protecting Pennsylvania’s parks with and pollution.

  • The Winner Is the "Unknown Candidate"
    The Winner is the "Unknown Candidate" March 2000 The Democratic U.S. Senate primary is just about a month away and few voters know anything about the candidates. Six candidates are seeking the Democratic nomination, and the major contenders are Congressman Ron Klink, State Senator Allyson Schwartz, and former state Labor Secretary Tom Foley. Amazingly, the best-known Democratic candidate, Tom Foley, is unknown by two-thirds of the state’s registered Democrats. The least known of the major contenders for the Democratic nomination, Allyson Schwartz, remains unknown by about three out of four state Democrats. These remarkable polling numbers are evidence of the importance of money in politics. Candidates today must raise significant amounts of money to raise interest and awareness among voters, mostly by running television advertisements. In days gone by, political parties endorsed candidates and delivered those endorsements on primary election day, making individual candidate fundraising much less important. Candidate-centered campaigns have changed that, meaning a candidate must sink or swim on his or her own. These Democratic candidates just aren’t raising and spending enough money to get their messages heard. If none of the Democratic candidates are able to take to the airwaves, the interplay of five key factors will determine the electoral winner: (1) geography, (2) turnout; (3) organizational support; (4) interest group advocacy; and (5) gender. 1) Geography: Five of the six candidates are essentially Eastern Pennsylvania residents. As the only Western Pennsylvanian, Ron Klink seems to have the clearest regional advantage. The presumption that Klink will do well in Western Pennsylvania is supported by the regional breakdown in the February Keystone Poll.
