Cast your votes for Parks and Recreation

1.    What is the role of parks and recreation in a vibrant 21st Century City?

2.    Funding for Philadelphia’s parks and recreation has been cut to the bone and has lagged behind other Philadelphia City Departments for decades.  In fact, Philadelphia’s park related expenditure per resident is far less than Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Boston, Cincinnati and many other American cities.  What steps would you take as a Councilmember to invest in Philadelphia’s new Department of Parks and Recreation so that it can fulfill its role and potential?
