PECO Rates To Climb Jan. 1; Kitchen Responds With Workshops

PECO corporate officers are

salivating over what will be

their happiest New Year’s

Day in almost a decade. The politi-

cal chains that kept them away

from the banquet table we be cast

off Dec. 1, 2010. The next day,

they will hike rates all over the

place, causing a tightening of fam-

ily budgets and a crunch on busi-

nesses of all kinds.

One legislator understands the im-

pact. That is why State Sen.

Shirley Kitchen is conducting a se-

ries of free Energy Conservation

Workshops.

Attendees will learn how to seal

their home through tips on using

plastic storm windows, weather

stripping and V-seal. Learn how to

use a caulk gun and how to install

foam insulation, rope caulk and

automatic clock thermostats. Free

weatherization materials will be

offered.

“PECO energy rate caps will be

expiring on Dec. 31, which means

everyone’s bills will be increasing

during the coldest months,”

Kitchen said. “These energy work-

shops provide free, inexpensive

and important tips for keeping

your energy costs under control.

We can all benefit from these

workshops, so I urge everyone to

attend.”

The workshops will take place at

the following dates and locations:

Wednesday, Oct. 20 from 11 a.m.

to 1 p.m. at CORA, 8540 Veree

Road

Wednesday, Oct. 20 from 6 to 8

Congressional candidate Rick

Hellberg signed a pledge to

support an amendment to the

US Constitution which, if passed,

would limit US House members to

three consecutive terms in office and

US Senators to two consecutive six-

year terms. Hellberg is opposing in-

cumbent Congressman Chaka Fattah in

the 2nd District.

Philip Blumel, president of US Term

Limits, praised Rick Hellberg, stating

his “bold commitment to limiting con-

gressional terms is a sign of his support

for a return to a citizen legislature, and

a repudiation of the current entitlement

mentality that exists in Washington,

D.C.”

Passage of a constitutional amendment

is rightfully difficult, requiring a two

thirds majority in both the US House of

Representatives and Senate, as well as

ratification by three-fourths of the

states.

Supporters believe congressional pas-

sage is the toughest hurdle for the

amendment, as term limits have proven

to be very popular at the state level with

36 states currently having some form of

term limits in place. This state level

strength is likely to help the term limits

constitutional amendment overcome the

ratification hurdle which has been the

traditional graveyard for many other

amendments.

A recent FOX News poll showed Ameri-

can voters favor term limits for Con-

gress by a staggering 78%-16%, with

overwhelming support from both Dem-

ocratic and Republican voters.

Hellberg Pledges To BackTerm Limits Amendment

Mayor Michael A. Nutter

traveled to Washington,

D.C. yesterday for a meet-

ing at the White House with President

Barack Obama, senior Obama Admin-

istration officials, and a small number

of Mayors and Governors from across

the country to discuss the issue of in-

frastructure.

In a wide-ranging discussion, Nutter

highlighted the importance of invest-

ing directly in cities. Doing so, he ar-

gued, would not only ensure a high

return on those improvements, which

would be used by millions of people,

but would also enable all sections of

the population – including African

Americans, Latinos, Asians, women,

and those with disabilities – to share in

the job and business opportunities that

come with rebuilding America’s infra-

structure.

“The recession of the last two years

has impacted all communities in

Philadelphia, and they all need our

help to recover,” said the Mayor. “All

Americans are suffering – African

Americans and Latinos in particular

– and we need to ensure that, as we

put America back to work and re-

build our infrastructure, all Ameri-

cans and all communities share in the

jobs and business opportunities that

will come.”

Obama called the meeting to follow up

on his Labor Day announcement that

his Administration would work with

Congress to enact new investment in

America’s infrastructure with $50 bil-

lion in front-loaded investment. Over

the longer term, the Obama Adminis-

tration will work with Congress to cre-

ate an Infrastructure Bank to leverage

Federal dollars for investments of na-

tional and regional significance.

Nutter highlighted a few examples of

infrastructure investments that could

be made quickly in Philadelphia.

These include a $5 billion expansion

of Philadelphia International Airport,

reconstruction of I-95, and investment

in our water and wastewater infra-

structure.

“We should begin investment in our

infrastructure now, not wait for an

emergency to force us to repair some

of these assets,” said Nutter. “In 2008,

I-95 was closed for three days while

emergency repairs were made follow-

ing the discovery of a five-foot crack,

costing around $60 million in lost pro-

ductivity and causing untold inconven-

ience. It is much more efficient and

effective, not to mention safer, to in-

vest now before some of these roads

crumble and fall.”

Nutter also advocated for a number of

City and regional projects, including a

$30 million upgrade to the SEPTA fare

system to install electronic fare pay-

ment technology across the entire bus,

trolley, and light rail network. SEPTA

currently has an application in for a

grant from the Federal TIGER II pro-

gram.

Also present at the meeting were

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner;

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood;

Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett; Govs.

Ed Rendell and Jack Markell; seven

other Mayors, Antonio Villaraigosa,

Mick Cornett, Joe Riley, Stephanie

Rawlings-Blake, Kasim Reed, Julian

Castro and Michael Coleman; four for-

mer Secretaries of Transportation; and

representatives of transport workers.
