MikeP...my info may be wrong but aren't all of the state representatives for the Philly area a Democrat, and the State House is Democratically contolled, and the Governor (former Philly Mayor) a Democrat, and the current mayor a Democrat? The problem is deeper than just a political issue, or an educational issue.

Look, we have a State Parolee Crime Problem in "Killadelphia". Yeah there are over 49,000 Probationers...Yeah we have 1/6th the population of New York City, but 6 Times the Crime Rate...BUT, we have 9,000 State Parolees that are not being "Supervised" because the Parole Agent caseloads are DOUBLE that of other states... Twice the Maximum recommended by National Parole Association! Nobody can be supervised at those levels. Rendell is releasing 2,000 Inmates per month into our neighborHOODs and NOT screening them for drugs and NOT sending them back to prison for any Parole Violations...in many cases, even if they pick up a new criminal case! Parole Board Chairman, McVey, has repeatedly refused to surrender documentation to State Auditors to hide their crimes. Documentation is even being destroyed! The State Attorney General (Tom Corbett) was repeatedly told and has done Nothing! There are over 500 State Parole and DOC Escapees in Killadelphia, right now, as you read this! The Mayor, City Council, State Legislature...all have repeatedly betrayed their sacred trust...Murder victim after murder victim...destroyed family after destroyed family. What's worse is that the news media has also chosen to betray it's sacred duty to the public. The news media wants a "Bail Out" too. We've paid for Rendell's "No Bid" and "Inappropriate" contracts to his law firm, campaign contributors and "friends" with the blood of our crime victims and the bodies of our family members. He's turned a World Class City into the Largest Open Air Prison in America and 1st in the Nation in COP KILLINGS. We've even been called "The City of Death". Why aren't the FEDs following the money/blood trails back to Rendell? No, Eddie isn't selling kidneys, but he's been killing us for YEARS! Now his "Spin Doctor" is bailing and Eddie is working on his memoirs...and what a "Legacy" it is.... The President's Comment Line is 1-202-456-1111, U.S. Attorney = 215-861-8200. How bout making one phone call?

"You Must be the change you want to see in the world"...Hopefully, not everyone on here is a cynic. The quote belongs to Mahatma Ghandi BTW.

I sincerley dislike most of the comments on these boards because they get us absolutely nowhere.Notice I said "us" as inclusive...If you live in a multicultural city ,state, or country then there is no such thing as "those people"..
