Sgt. Nashid Akil, who was temporarily fired from the Philadelphia Police Department more than a decade ago for allegedly stealing money from a man during a vehicle stop, is scheduled to be promoted to lieutenant next week, according to three sources familiar with the decision.

Akil, originally hired in 2000, lost his job in 2003 after Internal Affairs determined he had stolen "several hundred dollars" and failed to submit the cash as evidence, according to an audit released in 2004 by the city's Integrity and Accountability Office.

Akil was reinstated in Nov. 2005, according to city payroll records, but the Police Department declined to say how or why he returned to the force.

Dent Introduces “People Before Party” Act
Bill Would Eliminate One-Touch Straight Party Voting

(Washington, D.C.) Congressman Charlie Dent (PA-15) recently introduced H.R. 4679, the People Before Party Act of 2016, which would end the practice of straight-ticket voting. Dent released the following statement regarding his introduction of the legislation:

“One of the greatest frustrations my constituents share with me is the excessive partisan bickering in our political system. There is no easy fix to this problem, but one solution could be to strengthen participation in our voting system by doing away with single-ticket voting.

Pennsylvania is one of only a small number of states that still gives primacy to the power of political parties over the voters’ right to make candidate by candidate decisions. This manner of voting discourages voters from making an honest evaluation of each candidate on his or her individual merits and encourages an all-or-nothing decision based purely on party affiliation.

For this reason, I have joined with my Democrat colleague Representative Henry Cuellar (TX-28) to introduce the People Before Party Act, that would end straight-ticket voting in federal elections. Individuals who wish to vote a straight party line may certainly continue to do so, but they should not be offered a short-cut or a one-touch workaround from the need to consider their vote for each individual candidate and for each office. This bill will empower voters to elect thoughtful leaders and reduce the power of the parties.”
