http://youngphillypolitics.blogspot.com/2005/07/more-on-michael-nutter-and-trolleys.html
Wednesday, July 06, 2005. More on Michael Nutter and Trolleys. I received an email from Jim Foster, author of the previously discussed op-ed. On Michael Nutter and trolleys. As the author of the opinion piece. As I stated in my piece, politics in Philadelphia is hardball without gloves. Councilman Nutter is proving he is not ready for that game.

Young Philly Politics: Inquirer: Republicans Eying PGW
http://youngphillypolitics.blogspot.com/2005/06/inquirer-republicans-eying-pgw.html
Friday, June 24, 2005. Inquirer: Republicans Eying PGW. The Philadelphia Inquirer has an important scoop. This morning. Republicans in Harrisburg are planning to put forth a bill that would put the Philadelphia Gas Works under state control. PGW is a debt-ridden city agency that has been the center of controversy in recent years. The state would issue a bond to pay off the $1 billion in debt PGW has accumulated. Then, the agency would be privatized. This would destroy the very purpose of PGW as a public ...

Young Philly Politics: Philadelphia’s Economic Future: Part 1
http://youngphillypolitics.blogspot.com/2005/06/philadelphias-economic-future-part-1.html
Tuesday, June 28, 2005. Philadelphia’s Economic Future: Part 1. Young Philly Politics is a space for young, active Philadelphians to write about the issues that matter most to them and the future of our city. Most of the contributors to YPP, including myself, are life-long Philadelphians and our passion comes from a generations long attachment to Philadelphia and the region. That is the question I plan to address over the next few weeks and I guess it is worth saying at the outset that my answer will nev...

Young Philly Politics: Johnny Doc Doesn't Get It
http://youngphillypolitics.blogspot.com/2005/07/johnny-doc-doesnt-get-it.html
Thursday, July 07, 2005. Johnny Doc Doesn't Get It. The main point of the Davies column was that Dougherty, a likely candidate for mayor, was acting like a bully. Who says they have a rival politician's phone records, and use it to threaten one of the most respected local journalists we have? In today's DN, Dougherty responds. And, fundamentally, it is a good example of why Dougherty is going to have a lot of trouble running for mayor. He starts the letter by saying:. Posted by DanielUA @ 9:48 PM. Notice...

Young Philly Politics: PA Budget Deal Reached: Some Medicaid Cuts Reversed
http://youngphillypolitics.blogspot.com/2005/07/pa-budget-deal-reached-some-medicaid.html
Tuesday, July 05, 2005. PA Budget Deal Reached: Some Medicaid Cuts Reversed. In their annual, "oops! We forgot we have to pass a budget" session, the PA legislature and the Governor agreed to a budget deal. Late last night. And, the deal looks to reverse at least some of the draconian cuts that were being made to Medicaid:. With federal funding drying up, higher health care costs and increased enrollment, Rendell said he had no choice but to impose limits on services this year. On the face of it, this lo...

Young Philly Politics: Kudos to John Street
http://youngphillypolitics.blogspot.com/2005/07/kudos-to-john-street.html
Tuesday, July 05, 2005. Kudos to John Street. I am not one to pull punches when I disagree with someone, as should be pretty self-evident for most of our readers. That said, when a politican does something that deserves credit, I try and note that too. Yeah Hyde Park, all singing along to U2, and Paul McCartney seemed to "get it" more. But, strictly in terms of the city itself, I am happy with our contribution. Secondly, a few lines from this article. Which was pretty useless, caught my eye:. Philadelphi...

Young Philly Politics: Need a Reason to Oppose PGW Privatization? Here's One.
http://youngphillypolitics.blogspot.com/2005/06/need-reason-to-oppose-pgw.html
Wednesday, June 29, 2005. Need a Reason to Oppose PGW Privatization? Ben earlier told us. In the energy bill passed today by both the House and Senate, there was a quiet repeal. Of PUHCA, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. What is PUHCA? Why should you care? And why must we keep PGW from being privatized? First, what is PUHCA? Via Kos diarist Tocqueville. We turn to PUHCA for Dummies. Q What exactly does PUHCA do? Q (Sarcastically) Is that all? Q Are you kidding? A Yes, by controlling their ...

Young Philly Politics: MoveOn Shows Its Hand: Casey Endorsed
http://youngphillypolitics.blogspot.com/2005/06/moveon-shows-its-hand-casey-endorsed.html
Tuesday, June 28, 2005. MoveOn Shows Its Hand: Casey Endorsed. One of longshot Senate candidate Chuck Pennacchio's. Best bets was to get a group like MoveOn to jump on board with his candidacy. In 2003, MoveOn held an online primary, that while not garnering any candidates an official endorsement, helped continue the momentum Howard Dean was riding. When MoveOn held that early primary, Dean came out swinging, getting something like 50 percent of the vote out of a ton of candidates. When Paul Wellston...
