RENDELL’S HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN HAS A BILL NUMBER House Bill 700 is the bill number assigned to Governor Rendell’s massive health reform proposal even though the text is not yet available from the Electronic Bill Room (www.legis.state.pa.us). Chairman Rep. Tony DeLuca (D-Allegheny) has already scheduled hearings for March 26 and 27 to begin committee deliberations on the plan. Having one large bill appears to be a change from the originally announced Administration presentation that there would be 47 separate parts to the reforms. (NOTE: Those interested in testifying or in submitting written comments for the record should contact Insurance Committee executive director Rick Speese at 717/787-4437 [email protected]. as soon as possible.)

  • Organizations & Departments with Oversight
    A Civic Vision for the Central Delaware 2 PennPraxis WRT William Penn Foundation F O R E W O R D The William Penn Foundation, founded in 1945 by Otto and Phoebe Haas, is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Greater Philadelphia region. We seek to build on the region’s assets and enhance the economic competitiveness of Greater Philadelphia. We have long believed that the Delaware River is one of our region’s most significant assets. For more than a decade, the Foundation has sought to promote the historically industrialized Delaware Riverfront as a both a natural and community resource. In recent years the riverfront has experienced tremendous redevelopment pressure. However, due to the absence of an effective master plan and weak land use controls, most of this development has occurred in an ad-hoc and uncoordinated manner, raising concerns that the city would fail to fully maximize the waterfront’s economic and community development benefits and potential to deliver important new public access and amenities. In response to these concerns, the Foundation launched the central Delaware riverfront planning process to provide needed planning resources for the waterfront. We also sought a new model for large-scale, open, transparent civic visioning and planning that we hope will be replicable elsewhere in Philadelphia and will set a new standard for public access and participation in the city’s development decisions. Although Philadelphia has come late to the waterfront development game, our tardiness gives us one important advantage – we can learn from the experiences of many other cities.
