Response on Vending/Consultation
After an exchange of several voice mail messages, a member of my staff
met with Dr. Primosch on Monday, February 2, 1998, to discuss his concerns
relative to the proposed vending ordinance and Fresh Air Food Plazas. The
level of concern and interest in proposals to revamp vending on and around
Penn's campus has been an important learning experience for me. I believe
I understand much more fully the importance of significant and ongoing
conversations about plans that affect us all. I also hope that we as a
community can get to the "operational" stage-and implement changes
that will make vending better, cleaner, safer, and more available.
