Phila. City Council Votes to Abolish Controversial Tax Board

by KYW's Mike Dunn

Philadelphia City Council on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a plan to abolish the much-reviled Board of Revision of Taxes, despite complaints by some BRT workers that they'll be out of work.

After months of discussion, speeches, and political wrangling, the vote was 15-2 as City Council gave final passage to the BRT reform measure.

This is the chief sponsor, Councilman Bill Green:

"Today, City Council took the crucial step to ensure that citizens of Philadelphia will have a property tax system that they can trust."

The vote came despite concerns about Mayor Nutter's plan to take some 80 patronage jobs at the BRT and make them civil service.

Changing The Symbolism Of The Color Black

I am Van Stone, author and syndicated columnist, and I invite people from all intercultural backgrounds to join the Van Stone Productions Foundation. My hope is that, through the media, I can teach men, women, and children the importance of joining the organization Van Stone Productions Foundation (VSP) which helps to define the color “black.” I had exactly what VSP members were looking for when I used the admired works of Dr. Seuss’, “My Many Colored Days” to come up with the “Expression of Black” in the color black.

I assign colors to moods and emotions as was Dr. Seuss’ signature. VSP brings colors (nationalities) and images (crafts) together as one family/community. I believe that black means happy. I like to say, "The thoughts of happy men generate good company for positive people."

"Unfortunately the color of black has been blamed for many tragedies. Such as dressing in black during school shootings, being black-listed or black-balled, evil, etc.," I'd also say, "The color black has been synonymous with many negative things and subconsciously the color black creates negative thoughts for many people.

I desire that the color black be re-designed and created in a whole new expression, just like green is for earth day, blue is for jean day, silver is for a 25th anniversary.

I have created a PEACE DAY for the wearing of the color black to stop unduly influencing people with the symbolism of the color black having negative connotations. On PEACE DAYS, all days are great for reading, honoring grandparents, doing any type of planting, telling close friends that you are glad to have them as a real friend, and hanging out in your library. PEACE DAYS are also for conversing about your favorite realistic fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, mascots, or superheroes who may represent the color black. Then it would be good to draw the shape of a black rose or heart.

Please become a VSP member! Click on the WVSR Youth Model, Latonya Turpin, SUBSCRIBE IMAGE, below to go to VSP's WVSR 1360 website and fill out the registration to join. And thanks for reading the Philadelphia Front Page News.

Today is a new day.

By the way, some of my close friends have nicknamed me "doc"
