As mentioned on Ballot Access News, Likely PA Green Party gubernatorial candidate Paul Glover was recently interviewed by Randy LoBasso at Philadelphia Weekly.
In the interview, Glover states that he has been asked by state party leaders to run, but has not officially announced his candidacy as of yet. However, he laid out his plan if he does decide to run:
Apparently I’d be the only candidate seeking to ban fracking; to reduce the power of commercial banks; to require that public education be nonprofit; to cancel college student debt; to curb Homeland Security, NDAA, ICE and the NSA; to replace agribusiness with smaller farms; promote regional economies rather than global corporations; enact a progressive income tax.
My budget would shift resources from prisons to education. Curriculum reform is required at the same time, to teach community management and social enterprise rather than corporate servitude.
We can create a half million new jobs in Pennsylvania without raising taxes, through mutual aid programs such as I describe in my book “Green Jobs Philly.” This is a non-profit, non-governmental WPA. I’d call it the Green Labor Administration.
Mr. Glover also outlined 4 ways “third parties win without winning elections”. Read the full interview here.
