Once every four years, the voters of Philadelphia have the opportunity to choose candidates for Mayor and City Council. Now is our chance to persuade candidates to embrace the challenge of a more sustainable local economy.
ISSUES & RECOMMENDATIONS: HIGHLIGHTS
- Improve the climate for small business in Philadelphia. Improve service portals, simplify the tax process, eliminate unnecessary provisions and connect the support system.
