Reimaging Vacant Land in Philadelphia
One of the toughest issues urban areas face is vacant land, and what can be done with that land. Sometimes the land was abandoned as families and businesses move on. Sometimes the ownership of the land was transferred to the city when taxes arenât paid. But however the land becomes vacant, it creates problems for the city. Often overgrown with weeds, and full of trash, the vacant land becomes a blight on the city and drags down property values and quality of life for everyone who lives, works, ...

Gas drillers to get a bailout, taxpayers get the shaft
The proposed budget deal just announced includes a massive giveaway to huge, multi-national energy corporations that want full and immediate access to drill, baby, drill in our public forests and parks. Greedy gas companies spent more than one million dollars lobbying state government this year, and it looks like it paid off. The state budget does not include a severance tax on natural gas drilling even though it injures Pennsylvania taxpayers. To add insult to injury, the budget deal also opens...

And the loser is: The Pennsylvania Taxpayer
Multi-billion dollar energy companies have spent $1 million in lobbying money in Pennsylvania this year to try to stop legislators from enacting a severance tax on natural gas extraction. Their money appears to be working, as the state budget negotiations are going forward without a severance tax on the massive Marcellus Shale reserves.
