US Department of Justice lawyers had requested that federal observers be stationed in polling places in Philly's Latino neighborhoods on Tuesday, but a three-judge panel has rejected the idea. The City Solicitor had argued that their presence might be intimidating and decrease participation; he also says plenty of translation services will be available. Hmm... Well, we'll see.
Pennsylvania's infrastructure did get a passing grade after being examined by the American Society of Civil Engineers, but only just barely. They gave our state a D, and told us our roads, bridges and dams are falling apart and need immediate improvement. Besides those elements, the report also assesses the state's airports, drinking water, waterways, railways, and transit and wastewater systems. Apparently the only thing in decent shape are the railroads, which got an individual grade of a B. If something related to SEPTA is the best thing we've got going for us, we really do have some work to do.
