Better Schools

More Jobs
- "Encourage new entrepreneurial initiatives by providing that business start-ups not have to pay state and city related taxes for their first three years of operation, the most difficult period for new businesses."
- "Creating and expanding enterprise zones in distressed communities where specialized industries, such as light manufacturing and alternative energy companies, can obtain incentives and tax subsidies/deductions/credits that are responsible and innovative."
- "In cooperation with local schools, such as Community College of Philadelphia, establishing and supporting programs that train displaced workers and unskilled people in order for them to be able to obtain living wage jobs."
Safer Streets
- "Increased funding to support Community Policing efforts that have shown results in bringing community involvement that encourages cooperation and information sharing."
