The release on eve of Three Kings Day was important. I have always highlighted this day as a “North Star” for the community development work we must do! eedition.inquirer.com/infinity/artic… - Bad Bunny's new album is a love letter to the people of Puerto Rico

@harrisonfinberg Yes, yes and yes. They were given significant tax credits, spent a lot more than their initial costs and yes the city and Septa had to make additional investments.

Puerto Rico’s largest newspaper endorses Kamala Harris: El Nuevo Día endorses the candidacy of the aspiring Democrat, who presents concrete proposals for the island, and rejects the multiple insults and denigrating messages of Republican Donald Trump's campaign.

This fare hike is a direct result of the state's failure to properly fund transit, and our communities are paying the price. When we return to Harrisburg later this month, securing transit funding will be a top priority. We can’t afford to wait any longer
ISEPTAPHILLY@SEPTAPHILLY

SEPTA announces proposed fare adjustments - including the elimination of a number of discounts as the Authority faces a $240 million annual budget deficit. Public hearings will take place on October 16 at 10AM and 4PM: wwww.septa.org/bulletins/fall…. #ISEPTAPHILLY #waytogo

Check the record! I didn’t prevent, facts matter. I created tools, most folks understand that respecting neighbors is important to their projects. This developer did not and now he has carry cost that he wants to recoup making a more reasonable development almost impossible.
Next Philly Mayor 🏆@nextphlmayor

What a horrible thing to say about residents in Philadelphia who rent. This is a former Philadelphia City Council member who prevented 100 plus units from being built on a lot that needed a zoning variance. Unfortunately this is way too common in Philadelphia & needs to change.

@Johnbrown1860 The neighbors would say yes. The lot is better than a 100 plus unit building of renters who don’t always treat long term and older residents well.

@Johnbrown1860 The neighbors would disagree with your assessment. An arrogant developer who thought he could buy his development. For the record, I created many tools for predictable development, respecting and working with neighbors was a must!

@Johnbrown1860 @harrisonfinberg @jongeeting Too many details missing and not going to address. I authored MIN, rezoned area and did TOD. When developers don’t work with impacted residents and want to buy their way out —- hence multiple owners, they don’t build trust and lose. Developers take note.

@CMThomasPHL For the record I was the one who did the BIRT analysis 2011 to prove BIRT, NET BIRT, was a problem for small businesses. Our colleague Domb agreed and advocated. I changed, with Council support, how we viewed BIRT in this city. My legacy work.

Councilmember Isaiah Thomas@CMThomasPHL·
I’ve long said that Philadelphia is a city of the working poor. My former colleague Allan Domb has the right idea when he first proposed lowering the BIRT. While on Council I partnered with him to lower the BIRT tax to make it easier to own and operate businesses in Philadelphia.

Allan Domb: If we really want to lift tens, even hundreds, of thousands of people out of poverty permanently, the only way to do it is by creating better-paying jobs in Philadelphia. phillymag.com/news/2023/11/1…
