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.

Letters | SWANN WAS RIGHT ON PITTSBURGH ARENA

YOUR EDITORIAL on Lynn Swann "flip-flopping" for the Pittsburgh arena misrepresented the Republican gubernatorial candidate's position and what is best for the people of Pittsburgh.
Swann has been clear about his values, but being that the current administration has passed the legislation, he is realistic enough to recognize that gaming is something he'll inherit if elected. Assuming that, the Isle of Capri plan is an excellent opportunity. In fact, Lynn Swann was joined by 30 elected leaders who also endorsed it.
It's wrong to ask Pittsburgh to choose between losing the Penguins or building a new sports facility. Swann showed leadership - not naiveté - in promoting the best plan.
