Playing Well With Others Matters Greatly

KDKA Talk Show Host, Marty Griffin, points out that there have been 58 homicides in Pittsburgh this year in the city. Of those, 52 are "black on black." He asks, "Who is responsible?"

My reply on his FB wall:

Theme: We must do a better job of teaching our children how to play well with others. There are social skills that come from various settings that are often learned at formative ages that are important to individuals and the larger society. Sadly, much of these lessons are not being taught to a wide sector of our kids who are in urban areas. What goes on in our city schools in terms of sports, orchestras, and other higher level, fun, life-long, full on, year-round activities are poor, frail and UNLIKE what happens in most suburban settings. How to act, behave, wellness and relationships all matter greatly. And these are skills that need to be taught, practiced, rehearsed, challenged and supported / rewarded. It is a competitive world. Some don't have a fighting chance, so I'm not surprised when a fight breaks out on the field at the end of a Westinghouse / Perry football game.

Hello All,

 

This is a reminder that there will be a meeting of the SW PA supporters of Public Banking this coming Saturday at 1:00 p.m. at the Carnegie Library on Mt. Washington.  The street address is 315 Grandview Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA.  As the e-mail from Mike Krauss (below) reminds us, there is much that is new and exciting on the push for public banking, not only in Pennsylvania but also all around the nation.  Now is the time for us to gather, review what has been happening and plan for action in Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania.  We hope that you will be able to attend on Saturday and that you will be able and willing to assist in this exciting project. 

 

On another note, I have been advised that parking is at a premium on Mt. Washington in the vicinity of the Carnegie Library (as it is most everywhere on Mt. Washington) so come prepared to walk a bit to the Library.

 

John, JT and I are looking forward to seeing you at the meeting.

 

John

November 11, 2014

Dear Friends of Public Banking:

Not quite one month after our Philadelphia conference and the earlier conference in Santa Fe, and the energy of those events and the growing support for public banking is palpable.

The video of the Philly conference is about edited and will be up on the web site in perhaps a week.

The coming year will see the creation of more than one public bank here in Pennsylvania and elsewhere in this nation.

An expanded working group has formed in Philly, met already and will meet again on December 3^rd  to plan the next steps to keep building the necessary  political will and begin the task of identifying the most useful legal framework for a public bank in that city. A special thanks to Conni Bille and Stan Pokras for moving that forward.

A similar working group will convene in Pittsburgh on the 15^th of this month – this Saturday – to take similar steps. Thanks here to John Hemington, JT Campbell and John Leonard.

One task we have proposed for the Pittsburgh area team is to assist in the planning for a webinar to be broadcast from that city to college campuses and students, not only in our commonwealth, but nationwide in conjunction with the Public Banking Institute.

Led by our senior banker advisers, we will request the opportunity to meet formally with the PA Association of Community Bankers, many of whom are beginning to understand the utility of public banks to their struggling industry.

We daily gain new allies among mayors and city council members: in Reading, Allentown, Philly and Pittsburgh, as well as Boston, Rochester, Washington, DC,  Durham,  Chattanooga, Brunswick (GA), Phoenix, Seattle, Tacoma and elsewhere.

A national non-partisan public banking caucus of elected officials is in formation, and here in Pennsylvania we are now planning a briefing for legislators and staff in Harrisburg when the legislature reconvenes after the inauguration of the new governor.

How can you help?

1)      We need funding to see this work through to the creation of one or more municipal public banks in our commonwealth in the coming year. Our Pennsylvania Project has been granted formal status by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) not for profit corporation, and you can make a tax deductible contribution via Pay Pal at www.publicbankingpa.org or send a check to Pennsylvania Project , Inc./ 2019 Edgely Rd. / Levittown, PA 19056 / Att: Christina.

2)      Reach out to your PA state senator and representative, and ask them to become familiar with public banking, so that as we build locally we can also create allies at the state level.

3)      Send a letter to the editor of your local newspaper.

4)      Send a copy of this email to your own list of friends and colleagues. Ask them to visit the web site: www.publicbankingpa.org

If you want to contact legislators or send a letter to the editor, please let us know and we can forward to you a sample email/letter to legislators, and a sample letter to the editor. Please contact our student intern, Remi Bradkovich at Remi@publicbankingpa.org

Finally, the holidays approach and many of you will have sons and daughters (or grandchildren!) home from college for the holidays. 

Ask them to visit our web site.  www.publicbankingpa.org

We are working for their future!

Sincerely,

 Mike

Rand Paul on NBC 'Meet The Press' 11/2/14

Rather than Voter ID, just point a video camera, like a security camera or red light camera, at the doorways of the voting booths. Then the video is EVIDENCE should there be people who vote multiple times. One problem is the cheaters don't get caught and hardly ever get punished. But, there is little expectations that much of that is unfolding.

I do love the expression from Rand that says part of the mission is to "just show up." That's part one of my theme song for a winning forumula: Show up. Part two is, Score more points.

After four long years of hurting our children, Corbett's time could be up – if enough people show up at the polls. With the race tightening between Tom Wolf and T" Respond to this post by replying above this line New post on Yinzercation Top 10 Education Reasons to Vote Corbett Out by Yinzercation Tomorrow is the day! We have the chance to make history and vote Gov. Corbett out of office. After four long years of hurting our children, Corbett's time could be up – if enough people show up at the polls. With the race tightening between Tom Wolf and Tom Corbett, we not only need to cast our own votes on Tuesday, we need to make sure everyone we know heads to the polls, too. Here is a list you can share with your friends of the top 10 education reasons Gov. Corbett needs to go: 1.  Slashed almost $1 billion from public education. Gov. Corbett continues to claim that he has increased funding for our schools, which would be funny if it weren't so painfully untrue. He actually eliminated multiple education line items and collapsed several others into the "basic education" line item, and then boasts that he increased "basic education" funding. He even admitted on record that, "We have reduced education funding if you look at it as a whole." [See "The Governor's Bad Week"] He also likes to claim that the cuts were really the result of the expiring federal stimulus program, but Corbett has taken state funding for our schools back to pre-2008 levels, lower than before Pennsylvania even accepted federal stimulus dollars. [See "The Truth About the Numbers"] 2.  Eliminated our modern, fair funding formula. For reasons I still cannot fathom, Gov. Corbett eliminated the state's equitable funding formula, so that the poorest students and most struggling schools get the least support. [See "Hurting the Poor"] He made Pennsylvania one of only three states in the nation without a modern formula that would take into account things such as the actual number of families living in poverty or the true number of students with special education needs. [See "A Shameful Betrayal"] Instead, we have a system that allows politically connected legislators to hand pick their favorite pet school districts to hand them extra cash. [Newsworks, 7-11-13] 3.  Caused students to lose 27,000 of their teachers and educators. Corbett has tried to downplay this astonishing figure arguing that not all of the jobs lost were teachers – they include guidance counselors, nurses, librarians, and classroom aids (as if students don't need these professionals in their schools). [PA Fact Finder, 10-1-14] Not only are our children missing thousands of trusted adults in their schools, the cuts have dramatically increased class size. The latest data shows that over 90% of PA school districts have cut staff, and 64% have increased class sizes since Corbett's historic budget cuts in 2010-11, with the elementary grades hit the hardest. [See "From Bad to Worst"] 4.  Wiped out music, art, library, tutoring, athletics, Kindergarten, and more. Over half of Pennsylvania school districts will eliminate or reduce academic programs this year. Most cuts will come from field trips (51% schools will eliminate); summer school (37%); world languages (34%); music and theater (31%); and physical education (24%). In over a third of districts, students are also losing extra-curricular and athletic programs, or have to pay a fee to participate. And those cuts are on top of massive cuts made the past two years. [See "From Bad to Worst"] 5.  Forced over 75% of PA school districts to raise local property taxes. In nearly every part of the state, districts are relying on local revenue from property taxes to pay for a growing majority of school budgets. Over three-quarters of school districts will increase property taxes this year – more than any in the past five years. [See "From Bad to Worst"] Pennsylvania is now one of the stingiest states in the entire country in terms of the proportion of school funding provided at the state level: we rank #45. [Census Bureau data summarized in PA School Funding Project] 6.  Promoted vouchers and tax credit programs to send public dollars to private and religious schools. While Corbett failed to pass voucher legislation, his #1 education priority, he instead expanded the EITC tax credit programs. Essentially "vouchers lite," these programs cost us $150 million per year by funneling corporate tax money that should have gone to the state for our budget needs into the hands of private and religious schools instead, with zero accountability to the public. [See "EITC No Credit to PA"; Keystone Research Center, "No Accountability," 4-7-11] 7.  Cut public higher-education by 20%. Historic, truly enormous cuts to public colleges and universities have forced those institutions to pass along costs to students and their families. For instance, Corbett cut $67 million from the University of Pittsburgh three years ago, and then locked those cuts in for the past two years: Pitt's state aid is at its lowest level since it affiliated with the state system in the 1960s. [See "Rolling in Dough or Debt"] And Pennsylvania college students are now the 3rd most indebted in the entire nation. [Post-Gazette, 6-1-14] 8.  Tried to eliminate local control and accountability from elected school boards. In the fall of 2012, Corbett attempted to ram through a statewide authorizer bill, which would have permitted only a state commission of political appointees the right to open new charter schools and to supervise them. This end-run around locally elected representatives would have removed fiscal and academic accountability from those tasked with protecting taxpayers and their communities. [See "Real Charter Reform" and "Now That's More Like It" for details.] 9.  Expanded high-stakes testing. Gov. Corbett has subjected Pennsylvania students to a dramatically increased number of standardized tests – and has jacked up the stakes, as well. For instance, in opposing the new Keystone graduation exams, which will prevent many students from graduating from high school, the NAACP called them a "present day form of Eugenics" and a "human rights violation." [Public School Shakedown, 2-2-14] The tests are also an unfunded mandate on local school districts that cost millions. For example, the new School Performance Profile system, largely based on student test scores, cost us taxpayers $2.7 million to develop over the past three years and it will cost an estimated $838,000 every year to maintain. [Post-Gazette, 10-5-13] This does not include the $201.1 million contract Pennsylvania made with Data Recognition Corporation to administer high-stakes-tests to our students. [PennLive.com, 12-1-11] And all this testing is not actually helping students learn. [See "High Stakes Testing"] 10.  Practiced cronyism instead of protecting students. Corbett tried to pass a bill exempting charter school operators – his top campaign donors – from Pennsylvania's Right to Know "sunshine" law. [See "Where are the Real Republicans?" and "Charters are Cash Cows"] Then he appointed his friend Ron Tomalis, who had been the PA Secretary of Education, to a $140,000 ghost position where an investigative report found he did no work. However, in that capacity Tomalis did advise private equity investors in New York City on how to make money by selling products to school districts.
