Sharrieff,
It was an honest question. I just wanted to know if Al had an idea of
how to get past this empass. Councilwoman Blackwell and UPenn have become
the proverbial unstoppable force and immovable object. If we need the two to
compromise and also fhave the general public in UC to force that compromise,
then there has to be a way of combating the mad dash for both political and
financial control over UC, its citizens, and its businesses. Do you have any
suggestions to help get the greater UC community to compromise on the BID
and to get Blackwell and Wendell to make this happen if, for no better
reason, than that it's in the best interest of the entire UC community?

It will be broken and it is up to you two to make it happen!

Do you think that this political stalemate will ever be broken?
Mario:
The opportunity certainly is there, if the people at the highest levels of
Penn actually got the message that their anointed vision of an urban
community doesn't sit well with many of the folks they consider the
benighted masses in need of enlightenment.
The 2x4 upside the head delivered by Councilwoman Blackwell certainly
ought to cause them to re-evaluate what they're doing and how they're doing
it.
Unfortunately, I seriously doubt whether this will happen.
