Philadelphia Forward: A sign of progress
The Reformers’ Roundtable, a group within Philadelphia Forward, the citizens’ organization dedicated to promoting civic engagement and tax and ethics reform, has a column in today’s Metro that addresses the Unisys sign issue.
The three participants – Mary Tracy of the Society Created to Reduce Urban Blight (SCRUB), attorney Danny Cevallos, and PNC Bank branch manager Kevin Thomas Jr. – all approve of the manner in which the Zoning Board of Adjustments handled the issue and talk about Mayor Nutter’s role.
