Has anyone seen the public statement regarding the e-mail vote by the University City Historical Society board?
Background: At a public hearing, a Philadelphia city planning commission hearing, a gentleman testified that the UCHS board had conducted a vote to support the Campus Inn. He stated that he had gotten some information from the President of the group that the "vote results" did not favor support for the Campus Inn. And on this list, a preliminary on-line edition of the UC Review was posted that confirmed that some type of vote occurred. For whatever reason, the story was never printed in the Review. The on-line edition confirmed the public testimony but the "vote" results were not revealed. A quote attributed to Ms. Belynda Stewart indicated that she would release the results in the form of a public statement. I later heard a rumor that there had been no UCHS meeting with deliberations and vote but that the "vote" was done via e-mail by someone. I just finished searching the March and May newsletters published by Mr. Mike Hardy. I looked around the web site also but couldn't find anything about the Campus Inn or vote?????? Did I miss it? Was it published in the UC Review? Was it reported on the secret censored Penn list? I am hoping the public statement includes a copy of the ballot and any introductory message attached. There have been so many problems with surveys and votes locally and the offenders always refuse to reveal the data or hard copies of the instruments. It makes them look really really bad like the FOCP surveys and secret votes. (We caught the FOCP cheating with votes a couple years ago only because so many of us gave them money out of fear at the dog park vote. We would never have known how FOCP cheats had a hand count not been publicly visible and not the usual secret ballots!) In other news, Campus Apartments won some sort of award from UCHS. (I don't think it was an award for their massive trash violations but then I never pay attention to civic association awards.) More importantly, UCHS has hired two interns from Penn to photograph and surveil some 300 local properties this summer. We found out a couple years ago at a UCD dog and pony show that UCD has already compiled massive data on all property owners. As I recall, UCD was publicly questioned but refused to disclose any details of its surveilance program. Please contact me if you have any info about the UCHS public statement. I'll go back to waiting for the results of the UCD "internal investigation." I still want to learn more about the University's court which referred the Penn students whose constitutional rights were violated (as they became coerced indentured servants for UCD political favors and activities.)
