Rick,
Vice President Siano will always refuse requests for information with
some ranting personal attack. It has long been the first
response/technique employed by he and FOCP leaders to protect secrets
and intimidate other potential questions.
None of the other FOCP leaders are ever going to step up and provide the
information that is important to the public either. Nor will they ever
ask Siano or West to represent the FOCP appropriately, when questions
that are relevant to the entire community are asked by neighbors, and
they give these embarrassing nasty responses.
This conduct of their long term leaders shames the entire FOCP
membership, and discredits their association. That is why West is
scouring the neighborhood for people to join their board. They can no
longer get 10% of their members (quorum) to come to their elections, as
I reported to this list over a year ago. People are tired of being
treated like this by these clowns!
People on this list have seen this many times from these FOCP officers,
who claim to represent this community. The key problem is that the
information I have exposed and discussed is secret. They demand that it
remain undiscussed by our neighbors! They don't know what else to do
but use these terrible and ridiculous tactics!
The constant use of this technique only proves to the vast majority of
our neighbors that the FOCP leaders are keeping information from all of
them. I know its annoying for some people to get the many posts which
draw this out, BUT THERE ARE HUGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE IN WEST PHILLY WHO
WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH CLARK PARK AND ARE TIRED OF THE RUN
AROUND, AND MISINFORMATION.
That's why I was asked to write about the history recently, and honored
that request.
Any of these could quickly force an apology from me, but none of the
FOCP leaders will go ahead and prove me a liar !
1 Confirm or deny that meetings of the Clark Park Partnership are
invitation only, otherwise provide a list of the public meetings
2 Confirm or deny that none of the FOCP planning meetings were ever
announced to the public, otherwise provide a list of the public meeting
announcements.
3 Confirm or deny that Mr. Siano's leak about major changes to permit
rules will impact all independent long term park groups. Name the
relevant laws and documentation that can be reviewed so the full costs
and requirements are public.
4 Confirm or deny that FOCP members ordered meeting announcements and
agendas published in the UC Review and the FOCP Board refused, otherwise
provide a list of the public meeting announcements during the past 3 years.
5 Confirm or deny that park user groups were not invited to planning
meetings as desired by FOCP members. Otherwise provide the identities
of the planning committee representatives so the public can verify
represented stakeholder groups.

Brian I am truly aghast. You seem now to have become perhaps the most sour

it for crying out loud...
I'm heartbroken.
Look, I've looked at Glenn's complaints for years. I ran for the board
mainly to help him defend the Festival against the stuff he was
complaining about. It took me about five months to form a far more
critical opinion of Glenn than you realize. My experience has shown me
that Glenn functions on the same level of integrity as the Rev. Fred
Phelps.
But you can earn your own experience. Get together with him. Have
coffee. Sit down. Ask him to give you the "entire story," start to
finish. Ask critical questions. Ask for evidence. Subject him to the
same level of scrutiny you'd give the FOCP. Ask him why he's so
hostile, why he accuses people of being shills for Penn, and why, when
anyone questions his claims, he accuses them of being stupid,
gullible, and ignorant. Ask him about the various roles of "community
activist" he claims for himself, and what he actually did to claim
them. Ask him what, precisely, is it about the park's redesigns that
make it corporate and yuppified or whatever term he uses these days.
Try to pin down what his complaints actually are.
Even better, try to work with him. You'll find out about Glenn Moyer
soon enough.
