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.

Another interesting thing: in FY21, the median Philly charter school spent 20% of its total current expenditures on administration, while the School District of Philadelphia spent just 12% on admin. If you hate bloated bureaucratic waste, you should oppose charterization.

All of the "arena isn't in Chinatown" people are just telling on themselves that they don't spend time in Chinatown (or are being purposefully disingenuous).

the “but the arena isn’t being built in Chinatown” line that’s become so popular with supporters of the Sixers’ new arena says everything you need to know about those supporters: they haven’t spent enough time in Philadelphia to understand the ridiculousness of their argument.

If @marksquilla supports the arena and gets a serious anti-arena challenger from the left next election, seems like he would likely lose. Parker got just 10% of the vote in his district last year. Progressive org-backed candidates swept Council At-Large primary in his district.
