Poor prospects on reimpowering the people?

Daniel at YoungPhillyPolitics reports on efforts to undo the damage done by the stealth legislation that removed citizen rights in many zoning and similar land-use decisions in their own neighborhoods. It was sneaked in as an amendment on an unrelated measure -- see previous story here -- and many legislators claim not to have realized what they were voting for. Anyway, Dan seems pessimistic that the counter-measure will pass; I hope he's wrong.

Update: here's some photos from a press conference at which some local figures and many concerned citizens gave speeches in support of Cohen's bill or silently expressed their dismay at being silenced.
