If necessary, Baldwin will make public his deed, utility bills and property tax information.

Can Mr. McGeehan provide any of this information? Can he provide cancelled checks for rent to his brother, who owns the property @ 4401 Cottman Avenue? Does he even have a utility bill in his name in Philadelphia?

That is proof. Baldwin has his, does McGeehan?

I have McGeehan's mailing in front of me. He states that he's bought and improved several properties on the Jersey shore and in Florida. It's interesting to me that he doesn't see fit to buy and improve properties in the 173rd District. Why doesn't McGeehan invest in the District he's supposed to represent? In not a single piece of property preference in the 173rd has McGeehan chosen to invest and "improve". His admitted decision to invest out of state for a decade speaks volumes of his commitment to the 173rd.

I believe it is credible that Reynolds now lives in the city where he came from and invested in a home in the district. I also think Mike would have benefited by doing more extensive rehabbing in the district instead of other states, surely one house at a time would help improve any of our blocks. Again, I truly believe that our district can benefit by some other improvements other than the topic of who lives in what house-what is a State Rep's purpose, why can one side of the Avenue have street cleaners, a solid civic, new buildings, vacant lots made into small parks and the otherside of the Avenue go unnoticed and left to chance

I LIKE MIKE

Now that we all know who lives where, dont you think we should move onto what We the neighborhood needs. We need someone who will support us and help us improve our area. Who has done what? What has Mike done for the northeast what can Baldwin do for us. Really what do we need changed and how can we do it?

Quite frankly drivewaymom, you've acknowledged you don't live in the 173rd District, so you really should mind your own driveway. You don't have a dog in this hunt lady, so as far as I'm concerned, move here or mind your own driveway. To me, who DOES live in the 173rd District, the fact that the current State Rep. has not invested in the District IS a MAJOR issue. That McGeehan is more interested in buying and improving property in Jersey and Florida than the 173rd is appalling. This is a guy who voted to raise his pay yet refuses to buy a stake in the District he's supposed to represent. Yes, we do need someone who will support us, someone who's concern is investing in the 173rd rather than Jersey and Florida. We need someone who's up front and honest with empty closets.

I can't believe you just said that. It speaks volumes to your attitude and vision for the 173rd.
Drivewaymom's interest in what happens across the street (Frankford Ave.) certainly shows she cares about her district. What happens on the East side of Frankford Ave. clearly affects what happens on the West side. Stop being so short sighted, Oystermick.
McGeehan told you where he lives. Now drop it.
I've asked Baldwin's campaign manager, David Carl numerous times on different threads to tell us what his candidate would do differently in the district and what plans he has to improve things. No response. All I'm hearing now is how McGeehan invests in property outside the city. Excuse me? There is nothing wrong with that. How long are you going to beat a dead horse and avoid the real issues? Tell us specifically how Baldwin would do a better job and what his plans are.

I have in many different threads talked about numerous plans of action Mr. Baldwin will implement if elected.

Baldwin has officially challenged Mr. McGeehan to a debate on the issues of Crime, Education and Quality of Life. Baldwin was then demanded to apologize to McGeehan because our campaign learned there was false information being used in a poll. Well, this is not the recess yard at lunch. There are close to 59,000 people's lives that are at stake and yet, Mr.McGeehan refuses to debate.

With all due respect, David, I did my due dilligence and reviewed your posts. I thought maybe I missed the discussion with Baldwin's plans for the future of the district. What I found was 3 posts of yours (out of 103) that came somewhat close to telling us how Baldwin would do things differently or better. The remaining posts of yours are comments about McGeehan's residence, or legislative achievements-or lack thereof.

I'm betting there will be no debate. It won't happen. Therefore, since you are using this forum to do your own debating, let's get a discussion going about the issues in the 173rd and how Baldwin will change things or do things better. Start a new thread. Keep it on topic and maybe we can throw some ideas around.

Tell us what Reynolds Baldwin can or will do on a state level to improve the quality of life for the residents of the 173rd.

Thank you Cyainthohood, I was about to go off but it just goes to show people how closed mided others can be. As far as your mine and ours Oystermick. I have signed a petition for NO JUNKYARD in YOUR district, Should my signature be taken off ? Just because I dont live there does not mean I dont care. Mayfair is broad and wide and I have to travel though it. I DONT LIVE IN MY DRIVEWAY YA KNOW. I do care about what happens to the community. Please try not to be so closed minded.

I am unclear on one thing: You want ME to debate issues on the Phillyblog that a handful of civic-minded people will read, but are complacent that your REPRESENTATIVE refuses to debate the issues in a public forum for the whole distrcit to see?

If you live in the district you will know where Baldwin stands on all the issues over the next nine weeks.
