Heard on the Hill / in City Hall DeLissio Scores Senate Stopgap Budget Ahead of her return to House session last week, State Rep. Pamela A. DeLissio (DNorthwest) said she would vote against the Senate’s version of a stopgap budget because it appears to inadequately fund education and fails to restore past cuts to human-service providers.

She said that she will vet the plan next week with fellow House members, but without new revenue for education or adequate and reliable funding for county-run human services, the stopgap plan, like the vetoed budget, ignores Pennsylvanians’ interests.

“Constituents in the 194th have been clear they desire restored basic-education funding above all other legislative priorities,” DeLissio said. “I will vote for a budget that reflects that desire.”

“On average, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania contributes just 36% of the funding for 500 local school districts,” said DeLissio. “To put that into perspective, Pennsylvania ranked seventh lowest in the nation in 2012.

Everywhere you look these days, homeowners, many of whom are seniors, have been forced to make up for that deficit in higher property taxes. The Governor’s budget would aid in reducing property taxes – and wage taxes in Philadelphia – and give our school districts sufficient funds to ensure a better educational experience where that is currently lacking.”

Wolf’s budget would commit $27.9 million to countyrun human services as a first step in restoring cuts enacted over the last three years. It would provide $2.5 million to the Dept. of Human Services to fight the growing heroin and opioid epidemic, invest an additional $500,000 to promote employment for individuals with intellectual disabilities, and include $1

million to reduce homelessness among veterans. It would also increase early-education funding by $120 million, including a $100 million investment in Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts and $20 million for Head Start Supplemental Assistance.

Haywood: GOP Playing Games With Pa.’s Future State Sen. Art Haywood (D-Northwest) made the following statement following a compromise offer extended by Gov. Wolf to Republican leadership in the state legislature.

“As a new member of the State Senate, I am appalled by the tactics of our Republican leaders. They have deceived the public for six months, opting for intransigence instead of good-faith negotiations on our state budget time and again.

“Gov. Wolf offered an extreme compromise that included the Senate Republicans’ self-proclaimed top priority for the state: historic pension reform with a shift to 401k plans for new employees. The Governor also offered private liquor-system management.

Republicans ignored the offer.

“Yet for all the compromises proposed by the Governor, the GOP still refuses to restore funding to Pennsylvania schools with a shale tax, like every other state. That vast majority of Pennsylvanians list education funding as their number-one priority and approve of a shale-extraction tax.

“By my count, a majority of the Senate, including Republican members, would vote for a budget built on the compromises Gov. Wolf proposed yesterday; however, Senate Republican leadership is holding the entire state hostage with a desperate plan to derail the Governor.”

Donatucci: Stopgap Budget Continues Funding Cuts State Rep. Maria Donatucci (D-S. Phila.) issued

the following statement regarding the State House’s passage of the Republican stopgap budget: “This irresponsible plan does nothing to help our schools and human service providers in the long run. At a time when we need to negotiate a sustainable, fair budget, the Republicans have once again forced through a sham of a plan that extends the previous administration’s disastrous cuts. Pennsylvanians have had enough.

“Our most-vulnerable friends and neighbors who are depending on state funding cannot afford to wait any longer. From rape crisis centers and homelessness assistance, to addiction-treatment initiatives and after-school programs, we are letting far too many people slip through the cracks as the Republicans play their leveraging games.

This is unacceptable.”

Taylor Stands Behind Emergency Funding Bills State Rep. John Taylor (RNortheast) joined a majority of his House colleagues in passing emergency legislation to fund social-service agencies across the Commonwealth, while releasing funds to our school districts.

The legislation, SBs 1000 and 1001, would provide $11 billion in state funds and allow $24.3 billion in federal dollars to reach their intended recipients.

“The ongoing budget negotiations have placed incredible stress on our social-service organizations and our schools,” Taylor said. “That’s why it was critical to pass an emergency funding bill to help those who are suffering by releasing money that is being held up by the Governor’s veto.”

The current crisis began when the Governor vetoed the budget passed in June because it did not contain his broadbased income and sales-tax increases.

“I strongly urge all sides in this budget challenge to come together and to end the impasse,” Taylor said.

Kitchen To Co-Host Disabilities Symposium State Sen. Shirley Kitchen (D-N. Phila.) and i.d.e.a.l.

Magazine (Individuals with Disabilities Express About Life) will host the Disability Employed Leadership Symposium, Oct. 3, on the Temple University Health Sciences Campus.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

The event, hosted by Susan B. Bolno, adult resource coordinator at the Epilepsy Foundation of Eastern Pennsylvania, will take place that Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Student Faculty Center, 3340 N. Broad Street, Temple University Health Sciences Campus, Philadelphia.

In addition to networking, exhibitors and more, the D.E.L. Symposium will be a platform for people in the disability community to discuss important issues like employment and day-to-day living. It will also feature a panel discussion with people who are employed in a variety of careers. State Sen. Christine M. Tartaglione (D-Kensington) will be a special guest.

“National Disability Employment Awareness Month is a time to celebrate the myriad and varied contributions of workforce members with disabilities,” said Kitchen. “I look forward to a lively dialogue among career men and women who face obstacles — and triumphs — every day because of their disability.

The symposium will have accommodations for the deaf and hard of hearing and will be accessible for wheelchair users.

Councilman Oh Promotes A Music Commission On Sep. 17, City Council-

man at Large David Oh introduced legislation during the Council Session to create the Philadelphia Commission on the Music Industry. This legislation follows the Committee on Global Opportunities and the Creative/Innovative Economy hearing earlier this week.

The hearing was on the state of the music industry in Philadelphia.

The Councilman, who chairs the Committee, heard testimonies from producers, managers, artists, academics, and other professionals in the music industry regarding how City Council can elevate the music profile of the City in order to stimulate more economic growth. He believes this hearing was necessary for Philadelphia to compete on the national stage for a better draw of businesses and residents to the city.

Acosta: College Aid Guide Helps Students State Rep. Leslie Acosta (D-Phila.) announced the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency has updated its Pennsylvania Student Aid Guide, which is the most comprehensive financial aid guide available for state residents.

“I want to ensure students and their families know about the federal and state financial aid options available to them,” Acosta said. “So many students think higher education might not be a possibility for them because of the cost, but that’s not necessarily the case.

There are plenty of resources to help families pay for college.”

Available in both English and Spanish, the free guide can be found at www.pheaa.org/studentaidguide, and provides information about grants, scholarships, and loans; work study programs that allow students to earn money to cover education costs; career options and salary information; and (Cont.

Did 1st Debate Energize Voters?

The first of the mayoral debates took place Tuesday.

Sponsored by the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, “The Future of Philadelphia: A Mayoral Town Hall Debate” at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, 237 S. Broad Street.

The event was free and open to the public, but registration was required.

On Oct. 12, the “Leading Questions: Philadelphia Mayoral Debate” will take place at WHYY, 150 N. Sixth Street.

Doors open at 6 p.m., with the debate starting at 6:30 p.m.

The debate — sponsored

by WHYY/NewsWorks, the Committee of Seventy, Young Involved Philadelphia, NAACP Millennials, Influencing Action Movement and the Urban Philly Professional Network — requires registration and will be livestreamed.

On Oct. 19, the” Next Mayor Debate” occurs at Temple Performing Arts Center, 1837 N. Broad Street.

Focused on business and economic development, this event will be co-hosted by Philadelphia Media Network,

the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce’s Roadmap for Growth campaign and Temple University’s Center for Public Interest Journalism. Event partners include WHYY, Committee of Seventy, WURD Radio, Young Involved Philadelphia, and Technically Philly.

Chance For Foster To Make A Wave Newspaper publisher Jim Foster is on the ballot as an independent candidate for Mayor of Philadelphia and has blasted TV debate sponsors planning mayoral-candidate forums for excluding him.

He says, “I believe I know as much about this city, its operations and finances as anyone in elected office and a good bit more than many.

This process of selective exclusion runs directly contrary to recently published comments by the director of the Committee of Seventy, David Thornburgh. WHYY News Works and the Chestnut Hill Local are the only two media sources that have published any in-depth background material relative to my long

standing and validated challenges to the status quo, but I will be the guest of the Pen & Pencil Club on Oct. 7 and I expect they will want to go way beyond superficial reporting.”

He adds his message to voters can be “reduced to its simplest terms: The major problem with Philadelphia and where it is headed is financial.

A city way too top-heavy, with an expensive and unnecessary leadership class that is a throwback to the days when we had a 2.2 million population and kept records with manual typewriters and file cards.”

Was Pa. Auditor General Asleep All This Time?

Pennsylvania Auditor General Eugene DePasquale announced his endorsement of Philadelphia Democratic mayoral nominee Jim Kenney, noting Kenney’s commitment to reforming the City’s pension system and fighting for a fair funding formula for Philadelphia’s schools.

“Jim Kenney understands the City’s pension and education crises cannot be solved overnight,” said the Auditor

General. “He is prepared to address these issues head on by regularly reviewing pension-management and -investment contracts, and urging state government to properly fund the School District. I

look forward to working with him to bring Philadelphia’s pension system and School District back to fiscal stability.”

We ask Eugene: What took you so long?

proud of the collective work we were able to accomplish on behalf of the Port, the City, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.”

That work included getting PRPA on its feet during the earliest days of its creation (when the state-sponsored PRPA replaced the city-run Philadelphia Port Corporation in 1990), presiding over the complex Delaware River Channel Deepening Project, and- currently- advancing PRPA’s Southport Project, the first major expansion of the Port of Philadelphia in decades.

These were only some of the highlights of his tenure.

During the past two-plus decades at the Port, McDermott served under six Governors, and was able to work with all of them, as well as their respective legislatures, to advance innumerable capital projects and initiatives to grow the Port and its cargoes.

On-dock warehouse space, the complement of container cranes, highway and rail access to the Port,

McDermott also provided a steady hand during the national economic downtown of 2008, stressing the importance of continued invest-

digit cargo growth at the Port of Philadelphia.

During his tenure, McDermott traveled the world and met countless steamship line executives, heads of state, international manufacturers and growers, and so many others in his efforts to promote the Port of Philadelphia and its use by the world shipping community. A highlight was meeting Fidel Castro in 2004 and participating in the establishment of limited but very concrete commercial ties between Pennsylvania and Cuba, well in advance of the current US initiative to reach out to that nation.

McDermott has received numerous awards and accolades from the industry he came to love so much, including the Friend of Chile Award from the Chilean and American Chamber of Commerce; Man of the Year by

both the Philadelphia Maritime Society and the Traffic Club of Philadelphia; and the Scout Mariner Award by the Cradle of Liberty Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

Upon leaving in April 2016 (which will give Gov. Wolf and the board of PRPA time to identify a successor), McDermott plans to enjoy his retirement along with his wife Susan, another longtime public servant of the Commonwealth, their two daughters Kate and Reese, and their many family members and friends.

In the conclusion of his letter to the Governor, McDermott said, “I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve your administration and, upon my retirement, I will have worked in the public sector since Sep. 2, 1980, and enjoyed every minute of it.”

The Public Record • October 1, 2015

James T. McDermott, Jr., executive director of the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority, announced on Sep. 23 he will retire from the Authority next year.

When he retires on Apr. 15, 2016, he will have served at PRPA for 25 years, almost 21 years of that as its executive director.

McDermott joined PRPA as its Chief Counsel in 1991, following working as an Assistant District Attorney for the City of Philadelphia since 1980. He was appointed executive director on May 13, 1994, with his new role initially envisioned as a temporary one while a national search for a port director was undertaken. In short order, however, the PRPA Board, the Governor’s office and the Pennsylvania legislature decided to keep McDermott at the Port’s helm.

In the letter he wrote to Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf to announce his retirement, McDermott stated, “I have enjoyed my time at the Port Authority and I am very

race that would be a true advocate for labor in City Hall.”

All Appellate Candidates Sign Campaign Pledge On Nov. 3, voters will be filling three seats on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, one seat on the Pennsylvania Superior Court and one seat on the Commonwealth Court.

All the candidates seeking Superior Court and Supreme Court seats have signed a “Judicial Candidate’s Pledge” promising to adhere to advertising guidelines that promote fair and dignified campaigns.

“Each candidate has signed a pledge to refrain from making statements that might be subject to misinterpretation or distortion,” said Richard M. Goldberg, chair of the PBA Judicial Campaign Advertising Committee, which is charged with investigating judicial-advertising complaints made by one candidate against another and with determining if the complaint has merit.”

Tracy Also Gets Key Endorsements Terry Tracy, Republican candidate for City Council at Large has received endorsements from the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 and the International Association of Fire Fighters & Paramedics Local 22. On receiving their endorsement, Tracy commented, “It is really an honor to have the continued support of both the FOP and Local 22, particularly at this critical juncture in the fall campaign.

I have the utmost respect for the tremendous sacrifices our police, firefighters, paramedics, and their families make day in and day out.

“It is apparent that members of both organizations are looking for new leadership and more-effective advocates in the City’s legislature. The only way I know how to repay them for their support is to continue to fight for our many shared interests once on Council, and I intend to do just that.”

Tracy also has the support

PEG PAC Endorses Judge Olson For Supreme Court PEG PAC, the affiliated political action committee of the Pennsylvania Business Council and the state’s oldest pro-business PAC, has endorsed Superior Court Judge Judy Olson for Supreme Court.

“Judge Judy Olson will bring a well-crafted legal mind and a studious background to the State Supreme Court,” said David W. Patti, president and CEO of the PBC. “The makeup of our courts is critical to the business community.

Judge Olson understands a justice needs to look at each case individually, on its merits, and without an agenda. Olson has had a distinguished career both in the private sector – as a commercial litigator and antitrust lawyer – on the bench and in public service. We believe her elevation to the Supreme Court is important for Pennsylvania’s business community.”

We were amazed at how much television coverage Pope Francis’ three-day visit, concluding in Philadelphia, received. We began to feel as though we were a city and country where loving one’s neighbor was an obvious fact.

But a look at the news that didn’t make the TV, but did appear in print media, revealed some loving Philadelphians were still getting killed, some without motive, others with motive. It was obvious not everyone was watching the coverage on television given the Pope.

Now we realize winter is around the corner, a seasonal event which chases our more financially well-off citizenry to flock to southern points, especially Florida. Football is back and our Eagles, who we thought would blitz their opponents, have proven to disappoint most of us even in their victories.

But now, it is time for all voters to decide finally who are to be their choices in the general election Nov. 3. We expect a disappointing turnout again of around 20%.

The other 80% just don’t get it. They do not understand the importance of voting. They are shocked when you tell them politics is what decides how we live our lives. They fail to realize those elected on all levels of government pass laws deciding quality of air we breathe, the food we eat, the education we get and the taxes that continue to burden all of us, despite candidate promises to the contrary. They’ll complain they can’t control what is happening to them with the laws passed and the decisions of the judiciary hitting them in so many painful ways. So they’ll stay at home.

This general election may not look exciting on the surface. But decisions by those voting will influence which political party will control the State Supreme Court – its direction, and its patronage.

For the first time there is competition in the general election for the three seats. Republicans and Democrats have each endorsed three for those three open seats. But in came Philadelphia Judge Paul Panepinto as an independent, successfully avoiding court challenges to his independent petitions. If he draws enough votes from some the usual 80% stay-at-homes, he could be a spoiler.

Another first in the history of general elections is the fact five candidates are running for Mayor. They appeared together at a forum Tuesday night which was televised, but not seen on local television stations. It is believed snippets will be seen eventually.

Scheduled television debates have excluded the three independents, literally ending any chance for their making a decent showing.

An obvious axiom in voting is 70% of those going to the polls will normally vote for those candidates in the same party in which they are registered. With Democrats at an eight-to-one majority in this City, Jim Kenney will be our next Mayor. That conclusion will help keep many Democrats at home, feeling their guy is a winner already.

Brightening the ballot a bit is the fact Republicans have five candidates running for at-large Council seats. Guaranteed by the City Charter are two of the five seats for a minority. Their two top finishers when voting is counted will become Council-at-Large members, unless one of the two independents who are also running for Council at Large can surpass a Republican.

A distraction for voters is the retention judges list. Almost always those listed for retention win, so they don’t draw voter interest.

So it is back to reality. The majority of nonvoters is surrendering its rights to the minority in the realm of politics. To those in the majority, please stop complaining about what the politicians are doing to make your life miserable!

P.S.: Thank you again, Mayor Nutter Nutter, for a job well done.

Post-Papal Snapshot: Business Half Of Typical Weekend from businesses, especially restaurants and retailers, are that this figure may not have been achieved,” said Butkovitz.

When asked if staffing was an issue, the percentage of respondents who reported no issues included: retailers, 92%; hotels, 67%; and restaurants, 45%. Respondents indicated that deliveries and staffing were not reported as a problem in general only because there were no customers and they found themselves overstaffed.

“Businesses stated that the event could have been a much greater street party than just the immediate area on the Parkway,” said Butkovitz.

Hotels were the largest beneficiaries with occupancy rates in the upper-80% to low-90% rate. Some hotels noted other areas of their business struggled, such as catered events.

One hotel manager noted revenues were down nearly a quarter of a million.

The political front in Philadelphia was rather quiet last week as the city was preparing for the papal visit. However, Washington and Harrisburg gave us plenty to talk about.

So much for the Republican war on women. It was the liberal blogs that called DONALD TRUMP the winner of the Sep. 16 GOP presidential debate. Most conservative pundits believe CARLY FIORINA won the big boys debate that night. She demonstrated a keen understanding of the issues. I hope Fiorina remains in the field because she will elevate the tone of the race through her mastery of the facts and details behind her opinions. The recent NBC/WSJ poll has her at 11%, tied for third with Florida SEN. MARCO RUBIO and behind Trump and DR. BEN CARSON, who are neck and neck for first place at 21% and 20% respectively. Before the first debate she was not even at 1%.

A new NBC/WSJ poll also has her neck and neck with HILLARY CLINTON in a general election, but losing to VP JOE BIDEN. The same poll shows she fares better against Clinton and Biden than current GOP frontrunner Trump.

Trump’s problem is his favorability rating is one of the lowest in the race at 34% (total electorate).

The polls have not been so kind to Clinton, the other woman in the race. Her unfavorable rating among all voters is 56%. The reason for her fall from grace is the perception she is not being entirely truthful about her use of a private computer server for emails concerning State Dept. business.

She signed a sworn affidavit claiming she did not send classi-

One of the conversations that have been going on in the aftermath of the World Meeting of Families and the visit from Pope Francis is a conversation about how local businesses were impacted.

Restaurateur Stephen Starr told the Philadelphia Inquirer the impact on his restaurants was worse than that of Superstorm Sandy. Lots of hoteliers and other businesses accused Mayor Michael Nutter (and the somewhat-draconian security measures he allowed the Secret Service to impose) of beating their businesses about the head and neck.

In some cases, especially when it comes to the businesses in the Festival of Families zone (or Traffic Box) it made sense.

When you’ve got to go through a series of magnetometers to get a slice at your favorite pizza shop, you’re going to go elsewhere.

But to be honest, some of the losses are due to (a) people not knowing the audience they’re playing to and (b) good oldfashioned self-inflicted wounds.

For starters, it’s no accident that the participants in the World Meeting of Families were called “pilgrims.” For these folks, this was the equivalent of a hajj to Mecca for Muslims.

Many of them had probably been saving their pennies since the last World Meeting in 2012 to come here. Heck, I had friends who came to the meeting on St. Martin de Porres Foundation scholarships.

These folks had kids. Lots of kids. Not all of them stayed in hotels, opting to crash with church families, camp, or stay

Yo! Here we go again. I hear drive-in movies are making a comeback. WOW. What great memories I have of them.

We had two drive-in theaters in South Philly – the South City Drive-in – which was the site of the Vet Stadium – and the 61st Street Drive-in on 61st Street, of course.

On movie nights, usually on Friday or Saturday, Mom and Dad got us kids into our pajamas because it was almost a guarantee that we would fall asleep before returning home from the movies. Snacks like chips, popcorn and pretzels, etc. were brought to the movies. Sometimes Mom even brought pepper-and-egg sandwiches. All of them were washed down with generous amounts of Frank’s soda in quart bottles.

The movie started at sundown but we always got there early to get a good location. After paying the admission, Dad drove his car to an empty space – adjusting the viewing angle of the car by driving up or down the parking “hill” so we kids in the back seat could see out the windshield.

When it got dark enough, the show started with previews of coming attractions, a cartoon, a short subject and then a double feature. I remember that the 61st Street Drive-in had a midnight monster fest on or near Halloween – six “B” horror movies. It lasted well into the wee hours of the morning and was great fun for horror-movie buffs; the frugal shopper got a lot for his admission.

Weather was always a serious consideration. Evening fog made it impossible to see the movie. “Fog” passes were given to the patrons so they could return to the movies another day.

Rain would always be a real problem. Dad’s car did not have air conditioning, so in order to cool the interior of the car we had to keep the windows and even the doors open to catch the breeze. If there was no breeze, we kids sat outside on the hood of the car while Mom and Dad sat on folding beach chairs brought just for that purpose.

And to torture all the movie patrons were the hordes of mosquitoes. The fog truck went around the drive-in before the movie started. The repellant fogs it created drove away or killed (Cont. Page 17)

There was a WEIRD ARTICLE in the daily media charging the Board of Revision of Taxes (BRT) with “Pinstripe Patronage.” What orange juice were they drinking? The BRT does not have ANY patronage. BOARD MEMBERS ARE SELECTED BY THE BOARD OF JUDGES. BRT was the Assessor’s office until a few years ago. City Council shifted that name to the Real Estate Appeals Hearing Board. The Assessor’s office is now the Office of Property Assessment (OPA), and has NO PATRONAGE. Maybe that article is using old notes from years ago when the paper attacked the old BRT over appointed clerks making a paltry $23k a year. The clerks had to be converted to Civil Service, so with a lift in pay, better medical, and better benefits, the so-called REFORM cost more than the $8m a year they were paid. Helen GYM wanted that $8m to go to education. I never heard Helen complain?

The publication that attacked the BRT did it while behind $300k in tax. Glass house?

I want to wish HAPPY BIRTHDAY to dynamic veterans’ leader Mary HAGY; and to State Sen. John SABATINA, Jr., the most-pleasant elected official!! And to Tracy Brandeis ROMAN, Esq., Common Pleas judge candidate.... One of the NASTIEST posting persons on news stories disappeared from the threads over the weekend. Something about confusion over “its” Oath of Office. We can call it an “It” since they do not really identify their gender. “IT” can come back under a disguised new avatar – but often its syntax gives it away. POPE FRANCIS, while speaking at the UN, mentioned Dag HAM(Cont. Page 17)

Popapalooza was a super success in Philadelphia over the weekend. GOV. TOM WOLF and his lovely FIRST LADY FRANCES were joined by LT. GOV. MIKE STACK and SECOND LADY TANYA along with SEN. BOB CASEY and his wife TERESA at the concert of the World Meeting of Families.

The special guest star was, of course, POPE FRANCIS. But the three couples were seen laughing enthusiastically on several television networks to the comedy of JIM GAFFIGAN. They were also seen showing enthusiasm for SISTER SLEDGE, ANDREA BOCELLI, ARETHA FRANKLIN and other wonderful acts. Earlier in the day they were seated on the dais at Independence Hall and listened to an inspiring message from the Pope. The Governor gave an excellent introduction and so did MAYOR MICHAEL NUTTER. Nutter praised his educational upbringing from the nuns to the Jesuits at Saint Joe’s Prep.

Seen in the VIP section at Independence Hall were Independence Blue CROSS CEO DAN HILFERTY, DEPUTY MAYOR EVERETT GILLISON, CITY COUNCILMAN MARK SQUILLA, former gubernatorial candidate and SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE BOB O’DONNELL and his wife former City Council candidate DONNA O’DONNELL-GENTILE, power attorney GARY DiVITO, tourism guru JOE MULRONEY, transit expert FRAN KELLY and School Superintendent DR. WILLIAM HITE. Also on the dais were JOE NEUBAUER and his wife. Neubauer is the former founder and CEO of Aramark. Aramark is a Philadelphia company with the world influence. Neubauer is a huge American success story. He is also a supporter of the Pope.

KEVIN SPACEY hung out with EUGENE BARR, head of the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business & Industry; JOE SCARNATI, the president pro tempore of the Senate; SENATE MAJORITY LEADER JAKE CORMAN and HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER DAVE REED along with Lt. Gov. Stack at the big chamber dinner in Hershey. Stack shared with Spacey that he was a member of the Screen Actors’ Guild and Spacey promised to look for a part on “House of Cards” so Stack could be killed by Spacey’s alter ego Frank Underwood. Also on hand were former GOV. TOM CORBETT and former GOV. MARK SCHWEIKER.

State Rep. Maria Donatucci (D-S. Phila.) announced the Pennsylvania House of Representatives recently approved her resolution recognizing Aug. 26, 2015 as “Women’s Equality Day” in the Commonwealth.

Donatucci noted Aug. 26 marked the 95th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, which granted women the right to vote.

Donatucci said there are still many areas in which women are not equal to men, including the workplace. She has sponsored HB 1250 this legislative session to update the state’s Equal Pay Law, which would increase fines for employers that knowingly violate state law and pay women less than men for equal work.

“Women still only make about 77 cents for every dollar a man makes,” Donatucci said. “What kind of message does this send to the next generation of women leaders? We still have a long way to go to ensure women are on an equal playing field with men.”

Dad also used green mosquito coils. The green coils were some kind of bug repellent similar to what we knew as “punks.” The coil was placed on a tin holder which also came in the box. The tin holder with the green coil in place was put on the dashboard of the car. The end of

the green coil was then lit with a match and then extinguished. The smoke that resulted from the smoldering green coil was supposed to keep away the mosquitoes.

No way. It seemed like the bugs enjoyed the smell of that smoke and feasted on us anyway.

I am glad to hear drive-in theaters may come back.

Those like me that miss them will rejoice – those that never experienced may have pre-

There was one sad sign the drive-in posted: CLOSED TILL SPRING. It meant those dreary nights of the coming winter seemed so much longer with the memories of a relaxing evening at the drive-in that we could not go to because it was closed till spring – hurry up, spring – I want to go back to the drivein.

by Michael A. Cibik, Esq. American Bankruptcy Board Certified Question: Bankruptcy won’t stop the calls?

Answer: This is NOT true.

In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

The minute you file bankruptcy, the Bankruptcy Court issues an order telling all of your creditors to leave you alone. No more phone calls. No more collection letters. No more lawsuits. No garnishments. No repossessions. No foreclosures. Nothing. No actions whatsoever against you or your assets.

This order has a name. It is called the “Automatic Stay,” and it is issued pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code, Section 362.

The Automatic Stay pro-

perjury, as well as intimidating and retaliatory firing of staffers who testified against Kane. According to Kane’s dwindling supporters, the case against her was concocted by an old boys’ network to retaliate against her for revealing the names of AG staffers who participated in email exchanges of pornographic materials.

Also, this week it has been alleged Saylor had engaged in a backroom deal to ensure that decision to suspend her license was unanimous. Yes, everyone is out to get her!

Conversely, prosecutors allege her illegal acts were in large part to discredit a former AG staffer who criticized her for not pursuing cases against six Philadelphia Democrats

hibits your creditors from taking any action that could be considered an attempt to collect a debt form you or your assets.

Once you file bankruptcy, the creditor is not even allowed to call you or send you letters. In addition, the creditor must stop any collection attempts already started. The Automatic Stay is very powerful, and puts the full weight of the United States Courts to work for you, to make sure your creditors leave you and your assets alone.

caught on tape taking illegal political contributions.

It should be noted she publically released a redacted list of the pornography exchangers that only included Republican names who then or previously worked for GOV. TOM CORBETT, shortly before the gubernatorial election last year. Most believed it was a partisan attempt to make Corbett look bad. She clearly has taken a page out of the Clinton playbook.

BILL CLINTON has repeatedly said the email issue swirling around his wife is a GOP conspiracy to discredit her. If she cannot run next year, we will probably see Biden enter the race. Frankly, I am more afraid of him than Hillary.

If a creditor violates the Automatic Stay, you have the right to bring the creditor before the Court for Contempt of Court, and to be compensated accordingly. This is not a hollow right. Bankruptcy Court Judges do not take kindly to creditors who ignore their Order-the Automatic Stay-and these Judges have been known to punish creditors severely.

Very simply, once you file for bankruptcy, creditors must leave you alone or suffer the consequences.

Next Week’s Question: Should I be worried about going to my meeting of creditors?

ATTORNEY GENERAL KATHLEEN KANE’S. The Commonwealth’s Constitution stipulates the AG must be an attorney. But Pennsylvania Supreme Court CHIEF JUSTICE THOMAS SAYLOR says the unanimous decision by the five sitting Supreme Court judges does not remove her from office. It has been speculated that even if she tries to remain in office with a suspension, GOV. TOM WOLF would consider working with the Senate to impeach her.

The Supreme Court’s action follows Montgomery County JUDGE CATHLEEN KELLY REBAR’S order that Kane stand trial on criminal changes relating the leaking of confidential information and

private account, that would mean she sent no emails that were classified. Lying on a sworn affidavit could be construed as perjury. Remember how her husband lost his ligate the extent of the practice of PORN EMAILS, because it “indicates a widespread private relationship between prosecutors in both criminal and civil cases and the judges they appear before in those cases.”

Former Justice CASTILLE said this is a violation of state law, and a conflict of interest for a jurist who hears matters in which those prosecutors are involved.

These weren’t “white-tablecloth people.”

In other words, these weren’t folks that were going to spend $13 for guacamole because Grandma made some for the trip and it’s better than El Vez’s.

Local businesses heard 20,000 people coming to town and got happy. They didn’t think about who these 20,000 were.

But even for those of us who did want to do the whitetablecloth thing, it was hard because nothing was open.

A reporter friend of mine wanted to grab dinner Sunday night. We went to four different places … two were closed; one was in a hotel that wouldn’t allow us in because we weren’t staying there.

We would up at a bar in Northern Liberties, which was okay. But when you complain about business getting messed up due to an event, it might be a good idea to make sure there’ll be food.

Otherwise, folks will buy picnic baskets.
