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 issues.
Since the old Penns Landing Corp. was not a favorite of either Mayor
Street or Mayor Nutter, and since it had been criticized for a long
time, it would hardly be surprising if that particular item had been
placed on PennPraxis' menu of choices by its customer. As we have seen,
no elected official pays attention to anything a planner recommends,
unless it already agrees with that elected official's existing range of
choices.
-- Tony West
Creation of the board is the first of a series of changes advocated
by PennPraxis
as we have seen, penn praxis determines the agenda and frames the
issues for any of its 'engagments' with the public. within a given
penn praxis framework, mayors and public may get to pick and choose,
but they do not decide the range (the menu) of choices.
