Kenney Puts Port On His Priority Agenda Page 2

Port Expansion Among Kenney’s Priority List As Cargo Tonnage Continues To Increase Should Jim Kenney be sworn in as Mayor, the Port of Philadelphia will have a hands-on ally fully aware of the Port’s value to the economic life of this city.

He made this evident in one of his recent debates with GOP contender Melissa Murray Bailey.

The Kenney plan calls for the expansion of existing facilities at the Packer Avenue Marine Terminal and is expected to create thousands of jobs with a median wage of $41,500 in container import and export. He noted the Port of Philadelphia is competitively positioned to increase container traffic over its sister ports due to the recent completed deepening of the Delaware River, the soon-to-be completed expansion of the Panama Canal, the recent delay of the Bayonne Bridge raising project and the 10-year trend increase in container traffic to the Port of Philadelphia.

Presently with 3,104,140 metric tons of cargo handled at the facilities of the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority during the first six months of 2015 compared to the 2,853,362 tons handled during the first six months of 2014, total cargo tonnage at the Port of Philadelphia experienced a healthy 8.79% increase over the two periods.

In particular, breakbulk cargoes were up

28.44%, with 845,092 tons handled January-June 2015 compared to the 657,977 tons handled January-June 2014. Other highlights include automobile cargoes (primarily Hyundai and Kia vehicles from South Korea), which were up 8.85 percent when counted as individual units (79,160 automobiles moved during January-June 2015) and 15.69 percent when counted as tonnage (116,812 tons moved).

Though down about 2 percent when counted as TEUs (a still-healthy 214,267 TEUs handled), containerized cargoes were up 4% when counted as metric tonnage: All told, 1,470,821 metric tons of containerized cargoes were handled during the first half of 2015 compared to the 1,414,220 tons of containerized cargoes handled during the same period of 2014.

Contributing to the 28.44 percent in overall breakbulk cargoes were several individual breakbulk cargoes that showed big gains during the first half of this year. Cocoa beans, with 81,485 tons handled, were up 12.01%. Fruit, with 134,921 tons handled, was up 13.51 percent. Steel, with 248,148 tons handled, was up 27.57%. Forest products, with 369,951 tons handled, were up 54.03%.

Liquid bulk, with 671,415 tons handled during the first half of this year, was roughly equal to the same period last year.

“2014 was the fifth consecutive year of doubledigit cargo growth at the Port of Philadelphia, and our initial numbers for 2015 point to more good news like that by the end of this year,” said PRPA Exec. Dir. James T. McDermott, Jr. “With our 45foot channel deepening project nearing completion and our Southport marine terminal project moving forward, these are exciting times for the Port, and the fact that our cargo numbers have been going up even before these projects are completed is particularly gratifying. PRPA, our terminal operators, and the administration of Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf are working together in a terrific manner to keep this port moving in the right direction.”

Kenney understands the full value of the port and the fact expansion must happen in order to take advantage of events happening here and along the Eastern seaboard. The deepening of the river will enable the port to accept the larger cargo ships using the expanded Panama Canal.

At Packer Marine Terminal, the busiest cargo terminal in Philadelphia, business has nearly doubled over the last 10 years.

Nicoletti Contributes Film Festival Showcases Work Of Locals 30 Security Cameras Over 30 security cameras now blanket the corridor around the recreation center at 12th & Cambria, thanks to the financial contribution made by developer Robert Nicoletti, whose Philadelphia Suburban Development Corp., has been responsible for combatting a great deal of the blight left by vandalized buildings in North Philadelphia.

PSDC has for the past three decades acquired longabandoned sites and has successfully made them economically viable. The firm has a long history of being deeply involved in community efforts to restore safe zones and the creation of new businesses.

The 12th Street Advisory Board will officially acknowledge the installation of its “Safe Corridor Initiative” to help maintain peace, and wellbeing at the community recreation center and the community. President Arlene Carracter stated the 12th & Cambria Recreation Center now has 30 security cameras placed on the interior and exterior parts of the recreation center.

Marge Smith, board treasurer, stated the investment capital raised to secure the cameras were financed jointly by developer Robert Nicoletti, and the City of Philadelphia Recreation Dept. She said, “This initiative is an integral part of various comprehensive programs to support, and concentrate on positive activities for children and adults.”

The community is invited to see and learn more about the cameras installation at a meeting Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 2:30 p.m.

tific fact.

I trained for many years with other prominent physicians labeled “opinion makers.”

Bombarded with scientific literature, continually attending education seminars, we opinion makers insisted heart disease resulted from the simple fact of elevated blood cholesterol.

The only accepted therapy was prescribing medications to lower cholesterol and a diet that severely restricted fat intake.

The latter, of course, we insisted would lower cholesterol and heart disease. Deviations from these recommendations were considered heresy and could quite possibly result in malpractice.

It is not working!

These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. The discovery a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is slowly leading to a paradigm

shift in how heart disease and other chronic ailments will be treated.

The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and diabetes, the consequences of which dwarf any historical plague in terms of mortality, human suffering and dire economic consequences.

Despite the fact 25% of the population takes expensive statin medications and despite the fact we have reduced the fat content of our diets, more Americans will die this year of heart disease than ever before.

Statistics from the American Heart Association show that 75 million Americans currently suffer from heart disease, 20 million have diabetes and 57 million have pre-diabetes.

These disorders are affecting younger and younger people in greater numbers every year.

Simply stated, without inflammation being present in the body, there is no way that cho-

lesterol would accumulate in the wall of the blood vessel and cause heart disease and strokes.

Without inflammation, cholesterol would move freely throughout the body as nature intended. It is inflammation that causes cholesterol to become trapped.

Inflammation is not complicated — it is quite simply your body’s natural defense to a foreign invader such as a bacteria, toxin or virus. The cycle of inflammation is perfect in how it protects your body from these bacterial and viral invaders.

However, if we chronically expose the body to injury by toxins or foods the human body was never designed to process, a condition occurs called chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is just as harmful as acute inflammation is beneficial.

What thoughtful person would willfully expose him repeatedly to foods or other substances that are known to cause

injury to the body? Well, smokers perhaps, but at least they made that choice willfully.

The rest of us have simply followed the recommended mainstream diet that is low in fat and high in polyunsaturated fats and carbohydrates, not knowing we were causing repeated injury to our blood vessels. This repeated injury creates chronic inflammation leading to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity.

Let me repeat that: The injury and inflammation in our blood vessels is caused by the low-fat diet recommended for years by mainstream medicine.

What are the biggest culprits of chronic inflammation? Quite simply, they are the overload of simple, highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and all the products made from them) and the excess consumption of omega-6 vegetable oils like soybean, corn and sunflower that are found in many processed foods.

Take a moment to visualize rubbing a stiff brush repeatedly over soft skin until it becomes quite red and nearly bleeding.

You kept this up several times a day, every day for five years.

If you could tolerate this painful brushing, you would have a bleeding, swollen infected area that became worse with each repeated injury. This is a good way to visualize the inflammatory process that could be going on in your body right now.

Regardless of where the inflammatory process occurs, externally or internally, it is the same. I have peered inside thousands upon thousands of arteries. A diseased artery looks as if someone took a brush and scrubbed repeatedly against its wall. Several times a day, the foods we eat create small injuries compounding into more injuries, causing the body to respond continuously and appropriately with inflammation.

Taylor Says Budget Standoff Could Last For Weeks

by Tony West Don’t hold your breath while you’re waiting for the

Pennsylvania budget impasse to be resolved.

That’s the advice of State

this year will become law this session.

But Republicans and Democrats still stand far apart.

And Taylor doesn’t expect them to move closer together for another six weeks.

That’s because, he said, few voters are feeling the pain yet. Most major governmentfunded services are continuing, thanks to creative financing stopgap measures.

But Taylor expects school districts across the state to start imposing drastic cuts around Dec. 1. That’s when irate con-

LCSW, LMFT

Judge Paul P. Panepinto, a 25-year veteran of the bench in Philadelphia Judge Panepinto is a person of high integrity, character and experience.

He deserves all our support and VOTE on November 3, 2015.

REMEMBER VOTE JUDGE PAUL P. PANEPINTO Independent Judicial Alliance for Supreme Court www.phillyrecord.com • 215-755-2000

Rep. John Taylor (R-Northeast). This experienced legislator often plays a pivotal background role in urban-policy issues within the majority Republican caucus in the House of Representatives.

While the latest round of negotiations and votes has produced nothing tangible yet, Taylor allowed “the debate has narrowed almost by accident.”

It is now clear, he said in a press conference last week, that none of the bold initiatives Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf introduced with fanfare earlier

stituents will set legislators’ phones to ringing.

Only pressure from hometown parents will move some of his GOP colleagues to support revenue increases, said Taylor – and even then, many never will.

In the end, though, he said, major revenue increases are inevitable. With the Commonwealth facing a budget deficit of over $2 billion, Taylor asserted there is “no room for billion-dollar cuts.” Education and welfare have already taken all the hits they can afford during the Corbett years. “People don’t realize most ‘welfare’ money actually goes to senior citizens,” he noted – not a voter bloc that Republicans are inclined to bash.

Required, then, is a major revenue increase. But Taylor dismissed proposals by both Democrats (for a natural-gas extraction tax) and Republicans (for smokeless tobacco and gambling) as falling way short of the mark.

By contrast, Taylor said, a hike in the personal income tax from $3.07% to $3.57% would bring in about $1 billion.

The House of Representatives’ resounding defeat of a tax increase was “symbolic,” said Taylor. “You cannot seriously support any taxing plan until you first have a spending plan,” he insisted.

Taylor had harsh words for both sides in the standoff.

The 31-year-old veteran deplored the long decline of legislative leadership. In the past, he said, the leaders of both parties got together to work out compromises necessary to balance the budget – a deed required by law in Harrisburg, unlike Washington. But today, he said, “the leaders are following, not leading,” their unruliest, most-combative backbenchers. The result is no one wants to tell the estimated 80% of Republicans who will not vote for a tax increase that they have to anyway.

But Taylor also criticized the approach of Gov. Wolf, who he believes has harmed his own cause with belligerent partisanship.

To overcome the fanatical anti-taxers, Wolf and the Democrats need to woo moderate Republicans to their side. Usually this is done by asking them to back educational spending, which is popular among suburbanites, especially in the state’s Southeast.

Instead, charged Taylor, Democratic campaign strategists bashed Southeastern moderate Republicans with negative mass mailings – as many as six or seven of them.

“You can imagine how [State Rep.] Kate Harper (R-Montgomery) feels now,” he commented sardonically. So few Republicans are interested in making deals across the aisle right now.

It’s a fact of modern political life deplored by Taylor, who takes pride in his ability to make government work. “People who aren’t willing to solve problems shouldn’t be in this business,” he said.

OUR OPINION When Party Positions Fail; Forgotten Words Of Oath

The Public Record • October 22, 2015

Party politics sadly transcends legislators’ vows to serve the public before their own interests. Yet the budget impasses in Washington and in Harrisburg demonstrate they’ve forgotten the words of the oath they took when sworn into their seats.

It’s a sad fact there are times when party positions do demand and often get loyalty from party members. True, these may not make sense to beleaguered voters, especially those who depend on government money.

We do not blame elected legislators in state and federal government, who understand the machinations of political gives, takes, compromise and accommodation and how each party sees the role it is trying to fulfill.

But we point at the voter as to why impasses such as the one we are now in continue to occur. The average voter today is apathetic, dumbed down and refuses to understand the need to involve themselves.

This we see proven by dismal turnouts, such as the one we expect on Nov. 3.

ANOTHER OPINION

How Bulleting Works both candidates and the Republican City Committee. Because this year’s crop of Republican candidates is perhaps the most underwhelming in recent memory, no more than two of them will win. Therefore, voters will effectively decide which two Republican candidates will become – or remain – Councilmen.

Although each voter can vote for up to five candidates, they need not vote for all five, or even one. Because all five Republican candidates compete with each other for votes from the same constituency – Republican voters – those who vote for only one candidate cast the most-powerful votes. This tactic is known as “bulleting”.

Of the five Republican candidates, it is most likely that one of the two incumbents will place first when the votes are (Cont. Page 15)

by Michael Cibik, Esq. On Nov. 3, Philadelphia voters will elect seven at-large Members of City Council. The readers of this publication are no doubt familiar with the local process that allows us to vote for only five candidates, thereby ensuring that at least two winning candidates are not of the majority party.

In the 60 years that have passed since this process was established, the Republican Party has never won more than two at-large seats on the Council. Even when Republican candidates nearly won concurrent mayoral elections in 1987 and 1999, no Republican came close to capturing a third Council seat.

That’s not to say it is impossible to win more seats; it is very possible.

However, practically, it would require bold effort from

Republican Council Battle Boon To Dougherty

by Joe Shaheeli The strategists behind the effort to ensure Judge Kevin Dougherty wins one of the State’s three contested Supreme Court seats know Philadelphia turnout is key.

What’s needed is voter turnout around 300,000.

Based on past turnouts, voter participation in this general election can sink well below that, especially since most of this city’s voters believe the mayoral campaign has long been over.

But Judge Kevin Dougherty’s campaign can thank the GOP’s at-large City Council candidates for making a spirited run. It has garnered

the attention of Democratic voters as well as Republicans.

He also owes a bit of thanks to the city’s more-liberal political factions. A group of progressives from diverse organizations has gotten together to attempt to elect two non-Democrats running for atlarge Council seats, Green Party candidate Kristin Combs and Andrew Stober. Joining the charge are well-known activists like labor organizer Fabricio Rodríguez, attorney Kay Kyungsun Yu, healthcare policy specialist Numa St. Louis, Arab community leader Marwan Kreidie and Asian community leader Andrew Toy.

Rallying For Hope

RALLYING around and for “Hope” at Mike Driscoll’s Ashburner Inn were friends and supporters of Judicial candidate Christine Hope, Esq., center. Many attendees included Candido Silva, District Council 47; Frank Conway, Senior Advisor; Joffic C. Pittman, Municipal Court nominee; Councilman Bobby Henon with son Zac; State Rep. Mike Driscoll; Christine Hope, honoree; Dan Grace, leader of Local 830 Teamsters; Tracy Roman, Common Pleas judge nominee; Jim Coccio, treasurer of Transport Workers Union Local 234; and Frank Photo by Joe Stivala Costello, youth boxing coach.

The three Republicans running for Supreme Court are being targeted by separate negative ads from “Pennsylvanians for Judicial Reform”, a 527 independent-expenditure group backed mostly by plaintiff lawyers and organizedlabor groups which predominantly support Democrats. Adams County President Judge Mike George is criticized as “too lenient” on sentencing (the ad cites two examples); Superior Court Judge Judy Olson is targeted due to her support from prolife groups; and Commonwealth Court Judge Anne Covey’s integrity is ques-

tioned.

In the meantime, each day new attention-getters are being posted by the candidates.

Headlined this week is the fact Teamsters Union Local 830 endorsed Republican nominee Al Taubenberger for an atlarge City Council seat.

Teamsters Local 830 Secre-

tary-Treasurer Daniel H. Grace made the announcement, saying “Al Taubenberger is an accomplished businessman, a veteran of city government, and a decent, honorable man.

City Council will benefit greatly from Al’s experience and wisdom. Al is also a friend of labor and Teamsters Local

The plus for Dougherty in all this is an anticipated muchhigher turnout, at a time when every Philadelphia vote counts. Savvy Democratic voters know the victory of their five at-large candidates is preordained; the only citywide race in which their votes can matter is for the two seats reserved for minority-party and independent candidates.

Therefore, some shrewd Democrats will cast votes to favor a couple of Republicans they find sympathetic – or even a couple of third-party and independent candidates.

The Dougherty campaign is also pressing for a larger Democratic voter turnout in the suburban counties.

McGinty’s D.C. contributors beyond Pennsylvania include: Sen. Harry Reid’s Searchlight Leadership Fund – $5,000; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s PAC Off The Sidelines PAC – $10,000; Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s A New Direction PAC – $2,500; Sen. Barbara Boxer’s PAC For a Change – $5,000; Sen. Jack Reed’s Narragansett Bay PAC – $2,500 and Sen. Brian Schatz’s Hawaii PAC – $1,000.

It’s a shame Gov. Tom Wolf lost her to the allure of becoming a US Senator. She might have refocused his handling of both chambers of the General Assembly.

Joe Sestak has always said he is not the establishment candidate. That doesn’t guarantee support from the more-progressive elements of the Party. PASNAP has switched its endorsement from Sestak to McGinty.

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) raised $2 million in the third quarter as he prepares to defend his seat which Democrats plan to target next year. He is armed with $8.6 million in the bank. Again we suggest he turn to print media with some of his campaign ads.

FOP Endorses Rep. Martina White Wolf’s Endorsement Highlights Dougherty Campaign

Volare! Tuesday night BOBBY RYDELL was the headliner at a fundraiser for City Council-At-Large candidate AL TAUBENBERGER. Rydell sang (of course) “Volare” to the wild applause of the crowd. Republican WARD LEADER GARY GRISAFI’S Blu Dogz band accompanied Rydell and played many of its own pieces.

The event was held at the FOP Lodge 5’s banquet facilities in the Far Northeast and therefore had a mostly Northeast crowd including WARD LEADERS TOM MATKOWSKI and MARK WULLER, as well as Republican activist BRIAN McCANN. Rydell helped attract West Philadelphia WARD LEADER MATT WOLFE to venture out of his stomping grounds. Taubenberger, in addition to the endorsement of the FOP, has garnered supports of numerous unions including the Firefighters’ Local 22, as well as numerous trade unions.

TERRY TRACY, who had also been endorsed by Lodge 5, had a fundraiser on Monday night at the Regatta Room on S. 25th Street. Local ward leaders including BARBARA COXE, DENISE FUREY and Wolfe were there as well as RCC ASSISTANT GENERAL COUNSEL LINDA KERNS. COMMITTEEMAN JIM PIO came down from Northeast Philadelphia to support Tracy. Pio is running for State Representative (Dist. 172) in 2016.

KEVIN BOYLE is the Democratic incumbent in that seat. It is rumored Boyle plans to run for both his State Representative seat and against STATE SEN. JOHN SABATINA. Sabatina won a special election for the senate seat this year that was vacated by LT. GOV. MIKE STACK. In that election there was no primary for Sabatina. He was selected by the other Democratic ward leaders.

Today is the day ATTORNEY GENERAL KATHLEEN KANE’S suspension from the Bar starts. The suspension of her law license by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is temporary until the felony charges against her are litigated.

She continues to be an embarrassment to the Democrats with the latest twist and turn on Porngate. Last year’s Supreme Court investigation, led by former Commonwealth Court JUDGE ROBERT BYER, revealed JUSTICE SEAMUS McCAFFERY, received and sent over 200 pornographic emails to AG staffers and others. Subsequently McCaffery retired.

Yo! Here we go again with this question: Who was Simon Snyder?

Snyder Avenue honors Simon Snyder, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from 1808 to 1817.

Here are some things about Broad & Snyder you probably didn’t know. It was sent to me

by Lynn S., a reader.

The people of “Downtown” say there is no official name for the area around Broad & Snyder. To them it is just ... Broad & Snyder.

The Bureau of the Census disagrees. Its Neighborhood Statistics Program defines the area west of Broad from Passyunk Avenue to Oregon Avenue and west to 20th Street as “Passyunk West.”

Passyunk West was the name of one of the 13 original Philadelphia County Townships that were consolidated in 1854 to create the City of Philadelphia. Passyunk is a Lenni Lenape Indian word that means “in the valley,” the area between the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers.

The east side of Broad Street from Moore Street to Oregon Avenue and east to 8th Street is the official neighborhood of “South Philadelphia.”

In 1876 there were virtually no structures at Broad & Snyder. It was then open fields and swamps with large parcels of privately owned land.

Broad Street is a state highway, but PennDOT has no records showing when it was first paved with cobblestones. Residents remember Broad Street was paved with asphalt out to Snyder in 1926 for the Sesquicentennial. Many of the surrounding streets were blacktopped at the same time.

South Philadelphia HS, which opened in 1905 as The Southern Manual Training HS before the name was changed in 1915. It wasn’t coed and there were, at one time, Quonset huts in the yard. The newest one was built in 1956.

The landmark Melrose Diner, located since 1956 on the triangle formed by 15th, Snyder & Passyunk, was originally located a block away, at 1610 W. Passyunk on the site of what had been the Superior Diner. “There was nothing superior about it, let me tell you,” accord(Cont. Page 27)

HAVE YOU SEEN those horrible light standards on N. Broad Street? UG-LEE! They look like Big Apple steampipes. And seem to narrow the street to make it a more like a raceway. They cast little light. They seem to reach to the heavens, but need a crowning apex. Turn them sideways for good water mains. $14 million DOWN THE DRAIN.... I was elated to hear Grainne LYNN passed her Bar Examination! That tiny kid I first met at a picnic with her dad, then Judge-to-be James LYNN, has grown – and smart too! Dad took her out for dinner in an Italian restaurant.

Happy 40th wedding anniversary to Mr. & Mrs. Joe RISPO. Joe is political advisor for Local 19 Sheet Metal Workers’ Gary MASINO.... Candido SILVA was a top pick for AFSCME Outreach Coordinator!

Bravo to Riddel GOODMAN on her 55th Ward voter turnout in the primary election.... BRAVO to Thomas EDDIS who completed his first Holy Communion in NE Philly. Tom reportedly has three divisions lined up in support of KEVIN DOUGHERTY for State Supreme Court.

Marisa PICCARRETO has entered her name in the legislative race to replace State Rep. Brian Sims in Center City. She is coached by political sage Zac SHAFFER, Esq. The FINAL decision on a candidate will be will be up to the caucus, which will be chaired by State Sen. Larry FARNESE.... Birthdays for a judge AND a judge-to-be. Best-est to Hon. James “Hemingway” LYNN and Kai SCOTT. Kai worships at powerful ENON CHURCH. Happy Birthday also to ace Committeeman John DelRICCI. To Michael Scott LEVY, a super-powered ASSESSOR. Also to Bob MENDELSOHN, leading news photographer. And also Marnie AUMENT LOUGHREY, a rising star in the government firmament.

Gwen COLLINS, State President of the Federation of Democrat Women, toured political events in the counties.... While the Jaycees of Wildwood held their annual Bonfire on the Beach, Mary FOGG was seen on the beach promoting the town. She will be inducted into the IRISH HALL OF FAME soon. On the day after the bonfire, the Chapel of Four Chaplains honored 73 worthy citizens at the Cape May Coast Guard Base with dinner later at the Wildwood American Legion.... Now all is ready for the Port Richmond AOH 7 Party where Irish Memorial Legends Jim COYNE AND Kathy McGee BURNS WILL be honored.

Last week, an interesting pair of power players had lunch. Pennsylvania LT. GOV. MIKE STACK and New Jersey STATE SEN. STEVE SWEENEY were seen having lunch together at the Palm. Sweeney is President of the New Jersey Senate, business manager for the New Jersey and Philadelphia Ironworkers Unions and a rumored candidate for New Jersey Governor.

CHS wonders what the two discussed.

Perhaps Lt. Gov. Stack was getting advice from Sen. Sweeney on how to accomplish things in a diodes government. Sweeney has earned accolades for being able to get things done with New Jersey GOV. CHRIS CHRISTIE. Perhaps they were discussing Sweeney's upcoming run for Governor, or whether New Jersey and Pennsylvania can work more closely together on economic development.

Whatever the discussion, the two of them working together is a good move that can help both states. The strategic alliance could lead to cooperation on port development, transportation projects and lead to the creation of significant quality jobs for both states.

What is the quack, quack you hear?

That is the last sounds of lame duck MAYOR MICHAEL NUTTER trying to shape city government. Nutter, a Democratic Ward Leader, has gone rogue and endorsed independent ANDREW STOBER for City Council at Large. Stober worked in the Nutter administration.

Nutter endorsed his former staffer presumably for one of the two seats held by Republicans DENNY O’BRIEN and DAVID OH. But Nutter violated party rules by endorsing someone who is not a Democrat. The Democratic Party Policy Committee will consider sanctioning Nutter.

Every conceivable way to come up with $$$ for the Supreme Court candidates seem to be turning off some big-time donors. But since they are addicted to television ads, campaigns need the big bucks. Both parties have revved up their television buys. Plainly the Republicans are gambling on at least one or more anti-JUDGE KEVIN DOUGHERTY commercials.

They perceive his campaign as being the force behind the State Democratic effort to get their slate of three elected.

thanked the crowd for its support in her campaign.

On Monday, Murray Bailey participated in this year’s third mayoral debate in the historic Baptist church at Temple University. The debate moderator, to her credit, tried not to allow Democratic candidate JIM KENNEY play dodgeball. Previously Kenney had said he would give the details after his election of his plans to develop port facilities (and jobs) as part of his plan to make Philadelphia an energy hub.

Republican candidate Murray Bailey observed Kenney’s plan to attract more large ships to Philadelphia ports is problematic as the Delaware Memorial Bridge is too low to allow the tankers and other ships Kenney would like to see upriver.

Kenney stated he wanted to encourage companies like Comcast to move headquarters and major operations to the city. Murray Bailey aptly pointed out that in order to encourage these companies to move to the city, we would

need to restructure our jobkilling tax structure and rid ourselves of superfluous regulations. These burdensome regulations serve to create government jobs while dampening private-sector employ-

ment.

Tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 23, the next mayoral debate will be televised on ABC Channel 6. The television station welcomes questions from the public for the candidates.

(Cont. From Page 10) At the time, the investigation revealed Supreme Court JUSTICE MICHAEL EAKINS only received one pornographic email. Kane recently claimed there were more Eakins emails and that these were turned over to Byer.

Byer is a well-respected attorney with a reputation of integrity and competence. While he was elected to the Commonwealth Court as a Republican, he is now an independent. Allegations that Byer was part of a coverup for Eakins sound like another attempt to detract attention from her errors. Eakins has apologized for the emails and is under review by the Court for his behavior.

What GOP Voters Would Like To See

(Cont. From Page 26) guarantees Delaware and Pennsylvania to end up in the Democratic presidential column on election day.

After enjoying jaw-dropping success since June when he announced his candidacy, Trump is beginning to see some of his rivals making up ground, according to the latest Public Policy Polling report.

Trump leads the GOP field with 24%, with another Washington outsider, Ben Carson, riding Trump’s coattails to 23% in the poll. Though Trump heads the field, his 1% lead over Carson in Pennsylvania is the smallest he has had anywhere since July, according to the poll. In fact, Carson beats Trump 52%-38% in a hypothetical head-to-head primary in the Keystone State. Carson has the highest favorability rating of any candidate, crushing Trump’s numbers with men and women, as well as the more-conservative wing of the GOP.

Pennsylvania GOP voters differ from their many candidates on several issues. Of them, 78% support background checks on all gun purchases, with only 12% opposed.

“The 2nd Amendment to our Constitution is clear,” Donald Trump wrote in an announcement of his gun policies. “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon. Period.

“As a doctor, I spent many a night pulling bullets out of bodies,” Ben Carson wrote on Facebook after the Umpqua Community College shooting in Oregon. “There is no doubt that this senseless violence is breathtaking – but I never saw a body with bullet holes that was more devastating than taking the right to arm ourselves away.”

In this state, 53% of Republican voters also want to see the minimum wage increased to at least $10/hour – another unpopular idea among most candidates, with Trump telling MSNBC “having a low minimum wage is not a bad thing for this country.”
