The republican party is supposed to be the ethical alternative to the entrenched democratic machine that's run Philly for the last 60 years. However, party bosses Canuso and Meehan have put their support behind a vocal democrat then had city employees campaigning for them. This is unethical and possibly illegal. Whatever Feaherman said to Canuso and Meehan, it must have been caustic...because their going to great lengths to avoid recognizing his candidacy.
In a perfect world, the Sheriff would be better staffed and funded than the PPA, so that we can collect funds already owed to the city - and not nickel and dime our citizens to death with over-aggressive parking tickets.
Imagine if the anemic Sheriff's Office was to have over 1,000 members (which the PPA currently has)- how many derelict homes could be auctioned and rehabbed, how much of the $1.5 Billion in missing bail money could be recovered and how many delinquent taxes can be brought in to our city's deficit?
If you ask me, the $109M budget used to discourage tourists and business deliveries from parking in the city could be used for more constructive purposes.
