Maybe the wildest thing we learned doing this research: PHL Performing Arts Charter reported paying nearly **$3 million**/yr in mgmt fees to former CEO Angela Corosanite the past 2 years. That's seemingly on top of her $429,753 comp from their parent org String Theory Schools.

Additionally, a lot of this administrative work is contracted out to mgmt consulting firms based in the suburbs, meaning fewer jobs for Philadelphia residents and less tax revenue compared to if the schools were managed by the School District.

@JJ_21564 Why is it the only street with a yellow dotted line and neighborhood label next to it then? There are dozens of Asian American owned businesses in the blocks between Filbert and Arch, 9th and 11th

@ShadyTim215 @mr_saltz Top 3 all had support from both progressive orgs and the establishment party, so not surprising they came out on top. If left united against Squilla, it would be a different situation in a head-to-head race. Landau's the furthest left of the 3 who won and she got the most votes.

@ShadyTim215 @mr_saltz Came within 1.6% in CD8, and the demographics of CD1 are more favorable for the left. I get that Squilla is probably more popular than Bass, but it's not out of the question and if Squilla is interested in running again, he should at least be considering it.

@mr_saltz Not all unions support the arena! Unite Here, UFCW, community college unions have come out against or skeptical. Plenty of others like AFSCME and PFT that haven't publicly taken a side (afaik) but definitely have a lot of anti-arena members

@Johnbrown1860 @marksquilla The Gym votes plus even just 1/2 of the Rhynhart ones would be a win for the anti-arena candidate. All of the adjacent neighborhood groups have come out against the arena. Plenty of not typically left-aligned voters there to boost the anti-arena candidate too.
