Inquirer: City to get new parks commissioner
The secretary of Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Michael DiBerardinis, has just announced his resignation from that post in order to return to his native Philadelphia to become the head of the city’s new parks and recreation department.
