[UC] Mayor Nutter makes national news

This USA Today article notes our Mayor's court case. It's so unfair. Why don't they talk about his brilliant work in privatization of government or his obedience to Praxis and the Trustees of the U? I think taxpayers should pay Sarah Palin to consult in his private government staff.

Re: [UC] Penn’s landing, literally

However, it is the Mayor that got to pick and choose PennPraxis in the first place, for any of its 'engagements' with the public. No Mayor, no PennPraxis. Since PennPraxis is the Mayor's client, it is safe to say there was backtalk between client and service provider as to the 'framing' of

Re: [UC] Penn’s landing, literally

Good question. Surely it's better to see the end of any bubble, no matter how painfully, so that economic numbers can more closely report real value instead of fake value. Lower real-estate prices and lower stock prices are not a crisis. The collapse of the credit market and global trade,

[UC] DP reporting, national problem

[UC] UCD community board reps,phillycom

Here are the new community representatives for the UCD Board. Are any of them your neighbors? I don't think any of them live on my block. I was hoping I'd be named this year after UCD fumbled my Youcie invitation for a drink. That drink is the type of project that made me support the BID tax

Re: [UC] Penn’s landing, literally

Ray, It is you who are fantasizing. PennPraxis does not oppose developers at the waterfront, and it does not not oppose developers on 40th St. Its products tend to be airier -- overarching principles, rather like the ones you are so fond of writing. Blessing or opposing particular projects
