Another player has pulled up to the table and joined in the big game. For some players the prize is a 4 or 8 year stint as the most powerful person in city government, complete with all of the glory and headaches that go with it.
For other players, including Next Great City, having a positive effect on the debate over who will be the next mayor and ultimately on the future of the city is the ultimate goal. Of course, once that decision is made in November, groups like this will continue to push for policies that they feel will improve the overall quality of life for residents of the region.
Take a minute to look over their new website and revisit the poll that they released back in May. According to that poll, "Philadelphia’s residents and businesses see a strong link between environmental health and economic prosperity."
It looks like anyone who wants to be mayor better pay attention to what this group has to say. We certainly will be.

Public Health is a problem here.
You have to wait like 3-4 months to see a doctor. Then referrals take forever too.
I know, because I am on the public health care system. Why? cause I got hustled on the deal.
Priority should be given to individuals who are focusing on society as a whole, rather than if they have insurance or not.
