standing outside a process they deem lacking in credibility but a
transparent and inclusionary process will encourage shared

Nutter's support of PennPraxis takes into account the whole
community's needs
Often, projects started under the auspice of one
administration fall to the wayside when the next takes the
reins. Luckily, Mayor Nutter showed his commitment to the
City of Philadelphia, not his pride, when he endorsed
PennPraxis's action plan to encourage the development Penn's
Landing in a community-friendly manner, a report initiated
by former mayor John F. Street.
PennPraxis's success in creating a plan of action consisting
of ten simple and clear propositions shows its ability to
integrate the needs of the community with the practical
limitations involved in development.
Nutter deserves credit for his strong support of this plan,
which affirms his agenda: helping Philadelphia to become
what Philadelphians want it to be. With the initiative, he
also upholds his promise to work with local universities to
the benefit of the entire city.
In a time when campaigning politicians will say almost
anything to win a vote, it is refreshing to see a city
leader following through in the face of big business
opposition. Kudos to PennPraxis for a well-designed
proposal, and kudos to Mayor Nutter for not hesitating to
help better our city.
