PHILADELPHIA PUBLIC ACCESS:
The PUBLIC control the airwaves, not the corporations! This city needs some form of public access television on broadcast television! If elected, I will do all I can to buy back WGTW-TV, the former Channel 48, from TBN to allow for the public to broadcast on in instead.
ALL COUNCIL MEETINGS WILL BE TELEVISED:
As an added benefit, all City Council meetings will be broadcast on the channel during City Council hours. This will allow the people to see how their government works and allow for greater transparency.
ANTI-MEDIA MONOPOLY LAWS:
We currently have laws in effect that state that no one person can own more than one Television Network in a city. This exact same law should be put in place for Analog and Digital Radio. If elected, no one person will be able to own more than one radio station! The days of massive corporations owning half the radio stations in Philadelphia ends when I am elected!
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INFORMATION:
In order to help the public, I will set-up a Department of Public Information. It will be comprised of Full-Time Graphic Designers and Illustrators to create ad campaigns to inform the public of all my proposed programs, as well as existing programs.
NEW CITY WEBSITE:
The current web site for the City of Philadelphia is in disarray. There are broken links everywhere, there is no real universal design to the site, and at times it is hard to navigate. The entire web site needs a redesign. Also, all City Council members will be required to have a recent photo of them on their pages, and by "recent", I mean taken within the last 4 years.
