Issues

Better Solutions, Better Results.

Crime.

Philadelphia’s crime rate is a result of 60 years of failed Leftist policies and “feel good” rather than “real good” solutions.  The Left’s mindless tolerating of a 50% drop out rate in our City schools results in crime.  You do not have to be an expert to know that if you drop out of school you have a higher chance of turning to crime.  The public’s acceptance of Judges who give violent criminals a slap on the wrist and allow them to go free to committ more violent acts is shameful. 

Economics

It is common sense that the old broken high tax system drives jobs from the City.  Philadelphia must become more business friendly with low taxes and dynamic business.   The City should start by reinventing itseld as the “Green Energy” capital of America.

Education

I am fed up with our broken public school system. The 50% drop out rate of the public high schools is simply unacceptable. Common sense says that the drop out rate directly contributes to the crime emergency our City is in. I will not continue to pour money into the same broken system. I will hold failing schools accountable. I will not allow someone’s income to dictate where parents must send their children to school. I know that parents know better than a bureaucrat what is best for their child’s education.
