Today, C70’s @lcristella.bsky.social joined partners in support of Ballot Question #3 to create a Prison Oversight Board & Office. Transparency builds trust, but only if done right. Council must ensure these bodies have the tools to succeed.

‘Beyond frustrating’: Sheriff’s Office problems prevent Land Bank from buying lots for community gardens, houses Even City Council members can't figure out what the holdup is. Sheriff Rochelle Bilal has been active at community events, but hasn't responded to questions.

Yet another example of the Sheriff’s Office failing to perform basic functions that would have a positive impact on Philly communities and our city overall. It’s time for meaningful change - Philadelphians deserve better. @inquirer.com
