The Neighborhood Civic PAC is a medium for like-minded Philadelphia residents to carry out public service initiatives..."it's all about the neighborhoods." The Neighborhood Civic PAC is designed to help jumpstart civic associations in various neighborhoods and resurrect ones that were once mighty and help such associations get acclimated to the political process so that they may utilize this to the advantage of the neighborhood and constituency for which they represent.

John Street's Statement on Today's Indictments

Statement of Mayor John F. StreetConcerning Today's Indictments"The indictments announced today by United States Attorney Patrick L. Meehan of former Streets Commissioner William Johnson and several others resulted from the initial work of City Inspector General William Gill. I am proud that an honest and vigilant city official, who suspected wrongdoing, alerted the Inspector General, who determined that federal funds were involved and referred the matter to federal authorities.
Although I am disappointed by the unfortunate circumstances surrounding those indictments, I am confident that our system of monitoring the integrity and accountability of city employees work. We continue to have a policy of zero tolerance for corruption of any kind or size. The public has a right to expect honesty and integrity from all city employees, in every instance."

Please post any comments you may have on this matter.
