#CouncilmanicPrerogiative + corruption = Real (and preventable) @phlCouncil distrtic council members have repeatedly caught up in this...giving undervalued prices to either personal friends or significant neighborhood players #paytoplay

[Inga Saffron @IngaSaffron]

Everyone is suddenly talking about the corrupting potential of Philly’s councilmanic prerogative. So I wrote a column about how it affects the look and success of the city. https://t.co/S3tPaDjPA9

After #DangerousByDesign 2019, how are communities stepping up to make their streets safer? Hear from two of them on 3/13 https://t.co/AkUOMxJJQy @Visionzeronet

Cycling is so good for cities from a health, social, environmental and infrastructure cost perspective that countries are now putting incentive schemes in place where they literally pay people to cycle to work. https://t.co/qBzYROhHsO

"The most productive state departments of transportation are those that have come to grips with the fact that moving cars fast all the time is hard to square with most of their other stated priorities.” @SmartGrowthUSA https://t.co/i3j71wiykh

😏 “I don’t even know them,” said Blackwell. “They've been seen getting on the El going to other neighborhoods, so I don't know them, they don't live in my area.”

Trigger Warning: "Holistic care industry', "wellness studio' trigger topics-->alternative medicine, vitamins...councilmanic prerogative...just no! Yes to diversity! No thank-you to bullshit. I'm sure there's a "journey" discussed too, phew

#CouncilmanicPrerogative...Sweetheart deals...No matter what you call it, nothing about it is for the benefit of district residents, no matter how many times @PHLcouncil is caught pulling the strings...straight-up corrupt!!

[Inga Saffron @IngaSaffron]

This angry protest is another sign that councilmanic prerogative will be a campaign issue in Philadelphia this year. Story from @JuliaTerruso and @ByChrisBrennan https://t.co/t1KjHbFmwk

📢 #Philadelphia! This is why @PHLCouncil elections matter! District #PHLCouncil has too much control over city land and it breeds corruption. Keeps happening! This is unethical and unacceptable behavior of elected officials!

"The Bulwark is pursuing a different kind of relevance. Rather than crafting coverage that aims to turn rank-and-file Trump voters against the president—an effort that would almost certainly fail—it wants to shame and stigmatize the 'bad actors' in the conservative elite"

[NeighborJawn @NeighborJawn]

We have to have higher standards @PHLCouncil has too much power in @PhiladelphiaGov From soda-tax hugs, to charter school deals, to playing dumb re. lucrative real estate deals. This isn't ethical behavior of elected officials https://t.co/eAhyrXUEOF

[Inga Saffron @IngaSaffron]

These ‘errors’ are starting to add up. Why does Philly have a system where district council people have total say over who gets to buy public land, and the price they pay for it? This is 2018. https://t.co/t15cF5waFu

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

Spain wants to ban cars in dozens of cities, and the public’s on board, @FeargusOSull reports https://t.co/x3CFpK0p2T

@bikemamadelphia It was always changing and deliciously a-o-gay

[NeighborJawn @NeighborJawn]

😍Also would help if could limit hyper-local community feedback revolving around short-sighted personal needs...and doesn't favor greater good of entire city connected by protected bike lane network...Death, zombies, war will break out if they lose their double parking!!

'Cycling can never work here, we are not Amsterdam!'
Neither was Amsterdam. It took guts, radical choices and consistent political effort.
