Pork (0.00 / 0)

I love this:

* Voting for common sense spending practices that reduce the federal deficit and stand against wasteful pork barrel projects.

.
* Working to resolve traffic and transportation issues in Northeast Philly - particularly around Roosevelt Boulevard.

No Pork!  Uhh, except possibly spending a bunch of money on roads in the CD I want to represent...

From what I remember from 2004, Torsella is basically a hack.

Are you sure it's pork? (4.00 / 1)

I drive on Roosevelt Blvd every day. Somehow I think you don't.

Let's put it this way - the traffic issues on that road are worthy of solving. It's not so much "spending a bunch of money on roads in the CD..." as it is acknowledging a problem affecting thousands of people every day and wanting to address it.

I think you can probably find better examples of pork. Torsella may indeed be a hack; I honestly don't know. But telling people in NE Philly that he would like to resolve traffic issues on the Boulevard isn't unreasonable. I'd look elsewhere for hackness (hackiness? hackitude?)

Indeed (0.00 / 0)

Two of the three most dangerous intersections in America are on the Boulevard, in PA-13.
