@Jane_Roh always confused about what universe some politicians live in that it's wise to make official statements on these pop culture blips
@BobbyHenon great to see the task force pushing forward. It sounded like a great initiative.
@domodeez @MariaQSanchez I don't speak for council but change is overdue. More predictable taxes. 6.45% tax on biz success is near insane.
City Council Matters retweeted
Sunoco to move out of Philly to Delaware County @StateImpactPA
.@PennFuture I don't speak for council but your post seems a bit myopic. Assumes the current system works and the new one can't improve it
City Council Matters retweeted
BREAKING: Land bank deal done. Council pres @Darrell_Clarke @PhillyLandBank settle on VPRC inclusion, no council approval on acquisition end
City Council Matters retweeted
Council Pres Clarke organizing opposition to a land bank bill he'd once said he supported. axisphilly.org/article/clarke…
City Council Matters retweeted
This is disgusting. Council Prez organizing community groups to scuttle #LandBank bill via @rw_briggs bit.ly/1bhGPDP
City Council Matters retweeted
I respect that @Darrell_Clarke doesn’t politick through press, but it seems past time for him to publicly address his land bank worries.
Not saying one way is right just that it's easy to see why some council folks want a say on each sale.
What's a district representative councilperson supposed to say to constituent complaints about vacant neighborhood land use w/o a say?
Tale as old as time but I see a lot of the old Center City vs. Neighborhoods issue in land bank debate.
@SigneWilk @Darrell_Clarke so is the assumption that the land bank with council is no better than current system?
@SigneWilk @Darrell_Clarke I don't speak on behalf of council (see profile) but aren't there more thought-provoking objections than "delays"
City Council Matters retweeted

Did not think Sanchez would draw this land bank line. Sets up high stakes clash with Clarke. Good @InqCVargas piece. bit.ly/1eix78F
