When the Inq. published my letter in support of teachers and social workers in broken systems, I got a lot of responses because they published my e-mail address. I wish the Daily News did that too.
I sent this a couple weeks ago. My title was "keysone cops do city council" http://www.philly.com/dailynews/opinion/20081027_Letters__Unresponsive_Council.html I wasn't just talking about this councilmanic district. No, the group of neighbors and i never did meet with our council person nor her staff about the bogus trash tickets in our neighborhood. No, the staff members didn't respond to numerous e-mails or calls or office visits about meeting with a group of citizens regarding the issue. (If some of you wondered what happened- I tried for many months but Abbott and Costello kept blowing me off with "send an e-mail") I wanted to explain because the DN cut out my paragraph where I identified Green, his published platitudes about reform, and the same complete lack of professionalism when I brought the issues of PCPC and PHC to his office recently. The political hacks, who are called Councilman staff, and the councilmanic dynasties they focus all time upon; actually aren't as competent as the keystone cops, the original Abbott and Costello, or Laurel and Hardy. I doubt that they ever read anything about the people's right to petition their government- And No time remains after all the moon bounces and photo-ops with Penn/corporate officials. >From the city without representatives in government, Glenn ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
