There are some ballot initiatives on offer today in Philadelphia County. Here are my recommendations:
State Bond Question: Vote YES on improving wastewater improvement!
Charter Change Question 1: Vote YES on merging the Fairmount Park Commission and the Department of Parks and Recreation into one entity, the Commission on Parks and Recreation -- thereby bringing Philadelphia's parks and recreation center administrations into the 20th century!
Charter Change Question 2: Vote YES on giving preference in city hiring to people who've lived in Philadelphia longer!
Philadelphia City Bond Question: Vote YES for floating more bonds for transit and other community development, especially if you're a tax-and-spend Democrat like myself!
The Committee of Seventy has provided more balanced descriptions of the ballot questions, as well as policy statements for and against.
