Neighbors, If you care about public spaces across the city and our right to participate in decisions about the future of these, contact the DN now and ask for a real investigation of the Clark Park Partnership by real investigative journalists!
The secret deals for the new duck boats (link below) have raised the issue of transparency on decisons about spaces which belong to all of us. (I've heard that the insider gang from the planning commission and Parks and Recreation are involved with the duck boat shenanigans. We know their goals and methods!) Let's not allow the privatization of Clark Park to metastasize to all public spaces as our rulers plan. The Clark Park Partnership was the pilot project and serves as the model for subverting public participation through the creation of such entities. If journalists expose the secret dealings and the exclusion of the public developing over the last 8 years around Clark Park; we, the people can fight back! The entire city needs to know what happened to Clark Park and they need to understand that all public spaces are targeted! Please make any contacts you have with journalists, (not the yellow kind), and tell them that the Clark Park Partnership is the model for destroying the rights of the public on all matters relating to public space. Feel free to send them my contact information because I have followed the privatization through the entire process! Chances to fight back are growing fewer and farther apart! http://www.philly.com/dailynews/opinion/20110114_DN_Editorial__Fowl_play_.html Glenn, left of center ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
