Planning Commission shares results of text campaign, forum tackles community health
Good morning, Feeders, and welcome to the first Monday of Fall!
Emma Jacobs is already in court where convicted killer Terrence Williams waits to hear if a judge will halt his planned Oct. 3 execution.
Zack Seward will talk with the Philadelphia City Planning Commission about its effort to ask planning questions via a public transit text message campaign. Did it work, and is it a viable forum going forward?
Carolyn Beeler is checking out a community health forum with Glaxo Smith Klein while Peter Crimmins looks into the latest report from Philadelphia’s Cultural Alliance.
Tom MacDonald will have stories on an AM radio development and Philly taxes, and Phil Gregory is catching up with Chris Christie at a school groundbreaking.
And don’t forget that we’ve got two radio pilots coming you way in the next week. Friday, our Health & Science team will debut “The Pulse” at 11 a.m. The theme is shift work, and we’re talking shift in every sense of the word. And Monday, Oct. 1, listen to “Beyond the Ballot” at 1 p.m. for a politics show that goes much deeper than Election Day. Both will air on 90.9 FM, and you’ll be able to listen live from our website.
