cities. you see the same thing in boston. you see neighborhood and ethnically based organizations. often times they're tied to newspapers and part of the impetus, well, there's two other groups besides these clubs and societies that organize. one is the people involved in the liquor business, if you have lot of money to get started for obvious reasons, and the other is newspapers because this is a way of building an audience, the building the circulation of newspapers. you see this in new york, in boston. the clubs and organizations forming that become vehicles for lobbying, for pressure group politics other than electoral politics. that's the characteristic change that is taking place in this period. the shift from highly organized machine politics to pressure group lobbying kind of politics. this make sense? so there's a big change in the way politics work, but there's not as big a change in the fact that immigrants are both civically engaged and still living and surrounding themselves with fellow members of their particular ethnic group. you get up in the morning and you're in y

. $1 million was used in the city of boston for urban gardening. now, growing vegetables and fruits is probably a good idea, but do we want to really put $1 million there? i can tell you if we took $1 million and gave it to some of the diabetes organizations that are doing preventative medicine or research, they would like that $1 million and consider that a whole lot more important than urban gardening. i'm going to give you another example, and there are many more here. but in the philadelphia department of public health, they used their taxpayer-funded grant to push for higher state cigarette excise tax rates. so i -- i would say that smoking, obviously, is not good for our health. but should we really use it to lobby for increased taxes on an industry? i'm not sure that's a good way to spend our money. again, i think the better way is to take a look at what is already there. we didn't just wake up two years ago and go, preventive medicine is a good thing. let's not have all these little pots of money and these slush funds around without account
