@PhiladelphiaGov@FWC26Philly The world cup is once in a lifetime! It would be amazing to actually be able to afford a ticket! When they seem $350 to $500 each for the cheap seats. When I looked for wheelchair accessible seating , it was much less than what you would for a concert or Eagles game! Fix this!
@PhillyMayor You’ll never be reelected again. Ruining Chinatown and separating the one of the sports teams all at once. Only doing this to get your pockets lined. Disgusting
This may be the worst decision of this @PhillyMayor in her short time in office. Mayor Parker just assured herself re-election for another term only 1 year into her first term by taking care of the unions with the arena. She is supposed to take care of the people of Philadelphia, not herself. This hurts Chinatown and the residents in that area of Center City. We will never see the real numbers in tax dollars generated and the real studies. This just moves events from one building to another. Can’t be any real increase in tax dollars generated. Fans will not take public transportation. Get ready for total traffic gridlock on event nights and a dark, empty building at least 220 nights a year. In the end, the city will have to shoulder some of the cost which will be your tax dollars. And #Sixers worked out deal where they won’t pay property taxes. #Disaster

After the Jan6 insurrection, @GM pledged to pause political donations to ensure candidates align w/ $GM values. #GM broke its promise & said #EverybodyIn by giving PAC $ to seditious politicians who fueled the insurrection. They must stop now. #GMFuelsInsurrection#ChevyLove#GMC
You will forgive me for not having a lot of patience when some of my colleagues in the Senate tell me that we can’t afford to act on climate change. Really? The question that we must be asking, as loudly as possible, is how we can afford not to act?
Today the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing, which I serve on as a representative of the legislature, had its daylong policy meeting to review our state’s sentencing guidelines.
Call me crazy, but I have a feeling voters in #OH11 are in favor of:

@MIT living wage calc: typical food + medical + housing + transportation per year = $19,194
$7.25/hr is not a livable wage. Tell your legislators it’s time to #RaiseTheWage in PA.
The lowest average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in the US is in West Virginia, which comes to $7,500 per year.
$7.25/hr is $15k per year. The tipped wage is even less.
So some are paying half of their income in rent–plus utilities, healthcare, and childcare. #RaiseTheWage.
The mounting death toll from nursing homes is receiving a lot of attention, but this pandemic did not create these conditions, it shone a spotlight and made them worse. The best way to not die in a nursing home is to not go into one. We must pass #FairPay4HomeCare. -@bromalley
.@AOC: There is nothing holy about rejecting medical care. There is nothing holy about turning someone away from a hospital. There is nothing holy about rejecting a child from a family. There is nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.
