About Brown's Top Donors
PRWT
PRWT Chairman Willie Johnson joined with two labor leaders, Sam Staten of the Laborers District Council, and Joe Ashdale of IUPAT, in applying for a casino license in 2006. The group’s bid was rejected. In 2009, PRWT’s CEO Harold Epps and Ashdale were both appointed to a committee on tax policy and economic development by Mayor Michael Nutter. PRWT is Philadelphia’s largest minority-owned business. According to its website, “PRWT Services, Inc. was founded in 1988 to provide and manage back-office clerical support services to public and private companies . . . PRWT initially provided its services as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin IMS. In 2001, PRWT expanded its services and purchased U.S. Facilities, Inc. from Halifax Technical Services, making it one of the first minority enterprises to purchase a publicly-traded company. USF currently provides professional facilities management services focusing on complex and highly secure maintenance and management projects. In 2008, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cherokee Pharmaceuticals LLC, we acquired an active pharmaceutical ingredient plant, establishing PRWT as the first minority-owned API manufacturer in the United States.”
Pennsylvania State Education Association
According to its website, “PSEA includes 1,199 local associations, representing teachers, education support professionals, health care professionals, higher education professionals, retired educators and students. We represent teachers in 483 of Pennsylvania’s 501 school districts.” PSEA’s legislative agenda in Harrisburg includes boosting teacher salaries and reserves in their pension fund, boosting school funding, providing for cost-of-living adjustments for PSEA member salaries, expanding opportunities for early retirement, and opposition to a bill that would curtail teachers’ rights to strike. Recent legislation to limit teacher strikes was introduced by State Sen. Robert Mellow after teachers at a school in Lackawanna County struck 4 times in 18 months. If Mellow's bill becomes law, no contract dispute would last into the school year. By the end of summer, teachers and school boards in conflict over contracts would present their cases to a team of arbitrators, who would decide which side's proposal was most fair. The panel's decision would be binding.
