Daily News | ‘Keep your word’: Activists for Chinatown target Councilmember Squilla in fight against Sixers arena
During a press conference at the Chinese Christian Church and Center protesting the controversial Sixers arena, a still shot of Squilla holding a microphone, surrounded by community members, was projected onto a large pull-down screen.
Friday’s press conference marked a significant shift for Squilla, who has been able to remain relatively out of the limelight in the year since the Sixers first announced their plans to build a $1.3 billion arena that would abut the historic Chinatown neighborhood.
When asked about his December statement, Squilla said he understands Chinatown’s concerns and would “absolutely” keep his word, but said that he’s talking about all surrounding communities that would be impacted by the arena, not solely Chinatown.
