Talk:Ed Rendell

Mark B. Cohen
I would like to ask this question to anyone else that has editted this page. I have consistently seen the name of Pennsylvania "Mark B. Cohen" pop up in political articles all over the place, especially regarding racial politics. It seems strange that he doesn't have his own article on wikipedia, and yet someone keeps quoting him in a range of different articles. Does it sound a little paranoid for me to suggest that maybe one of the guy's associates is promoting him in wikipedia discreetly? Call me insane, but it's just weird to me.

Cohen's legal counsel is a savant-like internet/technology fetishist. He is most likely the one pimping out his boss.

pundints
What are the pundits saying about the election?


 * That Rendell will win.

questionable sentnce
"The 1985 police confrontation and bombing of MOVE, an African-American commune, occurred during Rendell's tenure as District Attorney."

This sentence seems questionable. First off was he inviolved in it? Second off it needs a ref. -Ravedave (talk) 17:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Good point...the statement should probably be much stronger, as he played more than a passive role. As District Attorney, he authorized the 1985 warrants by going to an emergency judge (current DA Lynne Abraham) even though the charges were from two weeks prior.  He was also the DA for the 1978(?) warrants.  (http://colours.mahost.org/articles/africa.html or http://www.philadelphiawriters.com/articles/08_2004/faultline.htm or http://baltimore.indymedia.org/mod/newswire/display/4047/index.php etc.)  68.83.72.162 (talk) 03:06, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

The description should be much stronger, and include some of the quotes by Rendell regarding MOVE. He has some choice quotes in the 2013 film Let The Fire Burn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.118.42.120 (talk) 01:02, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Never resigned
Rendell did not resign as mayor 3 weeks early as the article says. I rember his second to last day was an eagles game and there was a comment how he did his talk on the eagels post game show as he always did. There are no records, indications or otherwise that he formally resigned as mayor of philadelphia 3 weeks early. This is not to say he let John Street do things with Rendell still havign authroity.

If he did resign can someone show the letter of resignation

Scotland School for Veterans Children
Shouldn't something on this be added to the article? How did Rendell come to the conclusion that such a school was not needed? 2602:306:BDA0:97A0:466D:57FF:FE90:AC45 (talk) 02:28, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
