Readers: What would you ask Mayor Nutter?
Filed Under: The Mayor
I'll make it quick. I've got an interview with the mayor, and I thought — in the interest of democracy, open-source journalism, and the general welfare of the Good and True People of Philadelphia — that I'd open it up to you readers.
What would you ask the mayor? If possible, try to keep it less-angry-screed-like and more genuine-question-that-you-want-answered-like.
No promises, of course, but put 'em below in the comments and I'll see if I can't work some of them into the interview.
What are his specific plans (if any) to assist small business owners in Philadelphia?
What campaign promise does the Mayor think he's struggled the most at accomplishing? -cgw
Why doesn't Mayor Nutter see the correlation between keeping libraries and pools open with keeping kids from hanging out on the streets and away from violence? Is there a plan to keep the kids on the right path and not just hanging out?
I want to know if Mayor Nutter knows that the answers to Philly's problems are jobs, jobs, and jobs and not city government ones. What is doing inspite of the budget woes to eliminate onerous taxes and redtape that face businesses in Philly?
As part of President Obama's campaign, the President pledged to create pilot "Promise Neighborhoods" based on the Harlem Children's Zone. Will Philadelphia be applying for one of these grants? If so, how will you, Mayor Nutter, ensure that the grant application is better-coordinated than past efforts?
Why are there so many visibly crazy people living on the streets of Philadelphia? What is the disconnect between social services and the mentally ill?
I would like to know why the Kioahs machines.. not sure of the spelling. the machines where you get the parking tickets don't work. I have gone to three different machines on Broad St and they will not take my credit or debit cards, you can't get change for a 5 when you are parking for three hours that costs 4.50. What's up with the machines? thanks, Ruth
