Reply to Temple faculty union to discuss taking no confidence vote in President Wingard and two top administrators by Uberguuy
It looks like the PA Governor, Senate President Pro Tempore, and House Speaker get to appoint a few members of Temple's board of trustees. There are also two politicians actively serving on the board right now:
- Patrick M. Browne, Esq. (PA Secretary of Revenue)
- Christine M. Tartaglione (PA Senator for 2nd District)
Might be worth reaching out to your state representatives to let them know if you have feelings on recent developments at Temple?

Thanks for posting, I did not know about Wingard's background and this is very enlightening

Yep, when I moved to the city I had no idea what it was. When I found out and tried to find it the first time I must have missed the sign because I ended up totally turned around. Great idea, but it would be much better with big signs that just say "Free Parking for Airport Pickup"

Reply to Ok, so how was this year for you? by RoverTheMonster
Phillies in the World Series? Birds currently the best team in the NFL? We avoided Dr. New Jersey becoming our senator? Relatively good year for the city imo
Personally? Not so bad, but also not the greatest. Mental health improved overall, but I'm becoming increasingly aware of my body decaying as I get older. Though expectations for 2023 are bottomed out since last time I had my hopes up for a year (2020) the world went to shit

It's pretty safe, but it gets dicey the further northwest you move from there. It's close to a hospital with a methadone clinic, which can attract a certain type

Reply to Question For You SEPTA Bus Riding People by wyueprouqi
You make a good point. You'd think they would try to reach people who... I don't know... ride the bus? I've seen ads on the BSL, but not my bus route.
I'm frustrated that they are taking away routes in my part of the city. That said, I don't think they can do much improving since the "Bus Revolution" did not include any actual investment. From my understanding, budget constraints remain the same.

You get to vote for politicians, and apparently Wingard was meeting with Shapiro and other legislators yesterday. May be worth letting your reps know what you think?
