In the photo above possibly there’s a senior or two that lived during the time of at least 2 of the Black Presidents of America-Warren G. Harding and Dwight Eisenhower. During a most recent Senior Development Meeting at 6901 Woodland Avenue in Philadelphia Lewis Harris Jr., Community Activist, first from the left, participates in a hard-fought campaign for better Senior living in Philadelphia citywide. Today, Lewis Harris Jr., Councilwoman Blackwell and many in the University City District, a West Philly area governed by Councilwoman Blackwell, are allied subjects in the challenge against the bias of U. Penn. UCD wants Philadelphian’s to pay them a business tax to have streets washed and cleaned; graffiti cleared, and streets patrolled without choice.

The objective of being cruel is a big story that news reporters, community activist, and even political activist are following very closely these days. A person, place or thing that is alleged to continue to publicly behave badly, for example Jena, Louisiana justice system, now find themselves under defensive attack by dads, kids, students, moms and grandparents. In the nearby Delaware County area and the Philadelphia County area complaints, about 2 Judges in Media Delaware County Courthouse and 1 non-profit incorporation contracted by the University of Penn, have alarmed -the Democratic Majority Leader, the second most-powerful job holder in Philadelphia Council, Philadelphia Daily News reporters, several students at U Penn, a third-party candidate for Philadelphia City Commissioner, and myself Van Stone to step up and speak. Judicial Brutes bent County communities to their will. And Leaders don’t aim to please brutes.
Judges Barry C. Dozor and Judges Maureen Fitzpatrick, Media Delaware County Courthouse has been the subject of several complaints to Philadelphia courts, attorneys and community activist. Both Dozor and Fitzpatrick target males that are living in poverty, having a very difficult time finding meaningful jobs, and appear to have no criminal record found in the PA state criminal background data. Males both black and white is then ordered to imprisonment at the Delaware County Prison. There is no legal basis for decision in favor of a plaintiff, witnesses of a violation, or criminal charges filed against the men. The men must either pay a bail higher than bail for a gun charge to get out of jail, or remain at George Hill Prison amongst the regular offender population.
$20 must be paid to the court for a weekend stay at the prison. Protection From Abuse Orders is granted following the imprisonment. It’s alleged, Judge Dozor and Judge Fitzpatrick may participate in granting a wrongful imprisonment again. Where the money collected from the poor men goes is anybody’s guest. It seems that the Delco school system is not benefiting from the get out of jail-money-scandal. Lately the Philadelphia Daily News has reported that the Delco School System Administration is under fire from Delco residents complaining about money not being handled correctly.
Elsewhere, in Philly Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell has been very critical of the University City District with Lewis Harris Jr, third-party candidate, community activist and I supporting Blackwell against the U Penn. Blackwell is “at war with Penn” with superior reason. The UCD has openly filed a proposal, forwarding it to the state, to abuse the West Philly residents, businesses and landlords in the boundary they hand pick as their own. The UCD is proposing that they control what is called a Business District, or BID, allowing them to demand tax-like payments from all business and landlords that operate over or up to 4-unit-property in the University City District. U.Penn approves.
Residents that live in the University City District will have to pay city taxes and the UCD tax regardless of operating a non-profit business or not. Residents, businesses and landlords of the University City District may choose not to receive services from UCD but will not have a choice to decline paying the UCD tax as if the UCD is an entity separate from the city of Philadelphia. As we may all know, Philadelphia is made up of 3 separate entities in city government. The mayor governs the city. The districts are governed by city council. And the city commissioners govern the city’s county. City Council decides what authority if any is increased or decreased to the city commissioner to oversee the county. The UCD governs nothing especially, in councilwoman Blackwell’s district. Lewis Harris, Jr., very close to nabbing the 3rd city commissioner seat come November election, has responded to a request to meet with me about the U Penn situation.
Over $400,000 is voluntarily given to the UCD to do services. But residents, businesses, landlords and students volunteer in the University City District too. These do not receive contracts with the U.Penn for services. Most are Black male folk
