"Philadelphia Parks Need New Leadership"
1970/01/01 From left to right, Josh D'Ancona, Program Manager
for Friends of Philadelphia Parks and two parkies.
A coalition of 21 park groups
is attempting
to persuade the Board of Judges to install new leadership for the parks.
In the past the Judges have often deferred to
the wishes of party leaders about appointments.
This time the hope is that the Judges will put sound leadership for Philadelphia's parks first and politics second.
Philadelphia's parks have suffered
from decades of neglect while
new stadiums, costing hundreds of millions of dollars,
were quickly approved
by the City Council and Mayor Street.
A stagnant budget and well meaning but ineffectual
leadership have contributed to
the Park's decline.

Lenora Berson
1970/01/01 Berson, who lives in Center City, played a key role in defeating
Councilman DiCicco's Bill 629. DiCicco's Billboard Bill
would have made it much harder for community groups to successfully
to fight illegal zoning variances such as those
routinely granted to billboards.
