but wait there is always more as the politics of desperation amp up in chester county….so vote for josh maxwell just because he makes the cuckoo birds nervous…🤣

Posted on by

So I think Josh Maxwell is a pretty good dude. He is responsive and pleasant and tries to help his constituency, and he doesn’t look at them as Democrats or Republicans. He looks at them as the people he is supposed to help regardless of political affiliation, race, creed, color, sexual identity. This, of course, terrifies certain people.

So there is a group that’s kind of like the group that unites all the crazy extremism groups in Chester County. It’s called Chesco United and they sent around an email recently. I think I’ll share it with you now:

File under typical lies and bullshit a few days before an election. Danelo Cavalcante held us all hostage for a couple of weeks. But the reason he got out is not the fault personally of Josh Maxwell. That’s ludicrous.

I said all along when the whole Cavalcante of it all was happening that there was plenty of blame to go around in Chester County. The problems at the Chester County prison haven’t just miraculously occurred since the Democrats came into power in County Row in Chester County. This argument is like that other inane thing that has been floating around and that is saying that Chester County is a sanctuary county when it’s not. I mean the example they were pointing back to was the timeframe when the county was complete Republican control so I don’t think that dog hunts either. But hey, don’t let logic ever get in the way of insanity.

But if you want to know exactly why you should treat Chesco United email like the SPAM it is look no further than their group on Facebook and who the Admins are:

Ada as in Ada Nestor, the QAnon princess and West Goshen Republican Committee Chihuahua. After watching her failed attempt as a politician and running for school board, I have decided she’s an ankle biter so I liken her to a Chihuahua. She will, of course say I’m being racist because she has one scintilla Hispanic DNA or something, but that’s not it at all, she’s an ankle biter.

And as for the West Goshen Republican Committee well this week alone shows how messed up they are, doesn’t it? I mean it was their committee person until he resigned, who was running around scribbling murderer on campaign signs, right? But he shouldn’t have needed to do that, he has a mail order wifey who keeps him busy on TikTok right?

Allow me to refresh the class on #AnonymousAda:

Anyway, Tuesday can’t come fast enough for me. But I already voted and I did indeed vote for Josh Maxwell. I can’t control who any of you vote for, but you should be intelligent enough to know that when there’s a Republican County Commissioner candidate out of West Goshen Township who is always running yet never quite seems to catch anything, that emails like this make screwball sense don’t they? This is why these emails are coming out, he’s one of them isn’t he? And this guy couldn’t even get elected as a West Goshen stupidvisor there so would you want him as a county commissioner? That’s Dave Sommers.

Anyway, these people want to open up a can of worms in time for election day only they’re not operating with clean hands. So please don’t accept fake news when it gets text messaged to you, Robo called to you , or emailed to you.

Who you vote for is your business. But if groups like this are telling you not to vote for someone, then you might want to consider that’s exactly who you should vote for. In this case, it’s Josh Maxwell.

And if you know where they bought their mailing list from to send this drivel, please do tell. They seem to have bought someone’s business email list because a lot of the emails are going to people’s business email addresses, not personal email addresses.

Chesco United is a group who believes our inalienable rights are subjective. They are not.

OK I’m going go watch a Hallmark Christmas movie now. And yes, I actually do admit to watching them. It’s better than constantly watching the politics in Chester County with these crazy groups, which are more like a made for Lifetime TV movie.

fire lane sidewalk parking shaming

Illegal fire lane and sidewalk parking in Lincoln Court Shopping Center in Frazer, East Whiteland Township is so obnoxious. And it’s posted and the police ticket ALL OF THE TIME.

Don’t be like these people.

food for thought

I wrote this column for Main Line Media News in 2009 under editor Tom Murray, who would also become the editor of The Daily Local News until his untimely death. He was an amazing guy, and he encouraged community voices participating in local news.

But this is an issue we are continuing to deal with all over, and it is especially felt in Chester County with all the wanton and unnecessary development.

The photo in this post I took September 4 and it is the literally rotting historic farmhouse on the Clews and Strawbridge property in Malvern/Frazer East Whiteland Township. It is clearly demolition by neglect, and there’s nothing seemingly that can be done to ensure that the property is at least preserved pending redevelopment of that property. A developer recently had wanted to come in and build an apartment tower there and thankfully was turned down because it required a zoning change. I will note that in West Whiteland cerebral historic properties, like this have been preserved in the midst of commercial development. But a property owner has to want to do that.

Whether it is for historic preservation, land, preservation, community, preservation, or just sanity of the residents preservation. This is why we need to push elected officials in Harrisburg to enact an act of the state constitution and update the Municipalities Planning Code. truly, I do not know why this is not a state wide initiative.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

The small neighborhood: A place worth preserving

The small neighborhood is like no other. As a resident – young, old, or in between – it gives you a truly authentic sense of community. This sense of community is something you can’t bottle, beg, steal, or sell. It exists as an integral element in the fabric of smaller neighborhoods.

As a young child in the 1960s, my parents made our first family home in the Society Hill section of Philadelphia. In Society Hill, I not only discovered my love for historic preservation, but my love for small neighborhoods and communities with particular individuality.

Small neighborhoods are just so very real. When you grow up in a small neighborhood, you develop a life-long affection for neighborhoods of a similar pattern that provide their residents with that singular sense of place: you know your neighbors, and they know you. Even children can appreciate this uniqueness, and as a child, I most certainly did.

As an adult, I have found that I seek neighborhoods like those I experienced as a child. This is why I chose my current neighborhood in Haverford. It had all the elements I loved: walkability, community, and interesting and quirky old houses. No, the houses aren’t the majestically elegant 18th century townhouses of Society Hill, but they are special nonetheless.

When I first heard of impending development in my neighborhood, I felt so very bleak. I knew that a change was coming that would irrevocably alter the face, fabric, and landscape of my neighborhood. And it has already changed our neighborhood even though nothing has been demolished yet. Just the very thought of the hum of multiple air conditioning units on a flat roof when all we are used to hearing is birds, the laughter of small children, and the oddly comforting, yet familiar noises of the train is depressing.

Development in moderation is something I can stomach. What I see happening everywhere today, I cannot. I see the past of this region being sacrificed daily at the altar of new construction. And every developer is the same: they see their projects as their Pygmalians; testaments to their individual legacies. I suppose that is only natural, as they pour their hearts and souls into their projects, just as we pour our hearts and souls into our neighborhoods. It is just a shame that they can’t see their projects as we see them: alien invasions.

We are facing such a development on North Buck Lane. The development is unfortunately a by-right development, so it will be built. I have been to multiple meetings on this development, and I have come full circle to my original starting point: this project is simply wrong for such a small neighborhood. It’s too big.

This project is like an adult woman trying to squeeze into a little girl’s dress. The ultimate shame of this situation is that up and down the Main Line, there are many projects like this playing out. And I have to ask, are these projects about enhancing neighborhoods or are they just about profit?

Local governments from townships all along the Main Line and beyond say they feel for the complex plights of the smaller, older neighborhoods. And all of us in the small neighborhoods along the R-5 and Lancaster Avenue corridor are under siege. But how can all these local governments say they feel badly for small neighborhoods when they don’t take enough steps to preserve them? When you live in a small neighborhood, you know density is a given. However, isn’t there a big difference between reasonable density and being sandwiched in like sardines in a tin can?

The small neighborhoods of the Main Line and beyond need and deserve protection. The architecture that makes each neighborhood in each community unique disappears daily and is replaced by what can only be described as super-sized and homogeneous.

Isn’t it also curious that no matter what local township is involved, it seems like zoning variances for new development and demolition permits for our older and historic homes can appear to be approved in a seemingly short duration of time? Oddly enough, it feels like the process average citizens must take to achieve historic preservation and changes to zoning codes that can protect neighborhoods takes much longer and is more complicated. Where is the balance? We need balance.

I mourn the sense of community that is lost brick by brick as older homes are demolished for McMansions and developments. I believe that we are overdeveloped all along the Main Line.

I truly long for the simpler times of my childhood when older homes were cool and historic preservation was the name of the game. I long for the times when small neighborhoods like mine were just allowed to be, and mourn the sense of place called home that is being lost a bit more with every day that passes, and every old and historic home that is razed.

so truth in campaign advertising much in easttown?

Posted on by

One of my readers was nice enough to send this to me. It is a campaign sign for Republican supervisor candidates in Easttown has been driving me crazy since they started to go up.

Why has it been driving me crazy?

Simple. There is NO EIT IN EASTTOWN TOWNSHIP! EIT was discussed and my memory recall said it was withdrawn. So I asked a couple of Easttown meeting watchdogs and this was the response I got:

Yes. You are correct. They still have to fund first responders so they are doing it through property taxes. Residents in Easttown pay more than $2m in EIT to other townships and none is recaptured.

So in Easttown, I thinking on election day that you do not wish to vote for the candidates who should be wearing Dumb and Dumber t-shirts.

coming out the other side and other thoughts.

Posted on by

It has been a week. It has truthfully been kind of exhausting the past few weeks, mainly emotionally.

At the beginning of September, as my friends and family know, and some of my readers, I was diagnosed with skin cancer again. Fortunately, it was only basal cell. Unfortunately, it was the back of my head. And it was sizable.

First, I had the Mohs surgery, and then a week and a day ago I had post cancer reconstructive surgery on the back of my head. That surgery was in an operating room under general anesthesia. The surgeon and other doctors and nurses at the hospital where it was done were amazing. It was Penn Presbyterian in Philadelphia if anyone’s interested.

It was a really long day and because it was a day surgery you are in a large ward with other patients also having day surgeries. I’ve done that before since they want to keep you out of the hospital as much as they can, but this time I didn’t have the most positive collective of other patients pre-and post surgery. Emotionally and psychologically that makes a difference. And it’s a very odd feeling when you go into something trying to be as positive as humanly possible although it’s hard for you and the people around you just aren’t.

So I’ve had a week of recovery and counting the hours to lessening pain. And yes, that is the one thing that was most incredible to me having never had anything done on my head. I had no idea how much it actually hurt. I will not be a candidate for a face lift needless to say. It was big time ouch. I have had other Mohs procedures, including skin grafts, and the pain faded away very quickly with those.

And yes, that photo is what the back of my head looks like eight days later. It’s a big spot. And thankfully, it’s healing nicely, and my hair is starting to show signs of growing back.

I am sure some of you remember a couple of years ago when that woman from the Devon area, who was one of the anti-masking school board nutbags, decided to post a photo of me in a hospital gown that she had found after I had written about my breast cancer surgery waiting to happen 12 years ago. We all know that was done to try to shame me as a woman…during #pinktober no less. It didn’t. It just proved who she actually was,

And I was thinking about that incident this morning as I was getting ready to write this post because I thought here they will have another photo to have fun with of me. But then I thought screw it. Writing about things like this is important to me. And frankly it counts as my own personal self-care as a survivor of breast and skin cancer.

A lot of people tend to downplay things like skin cancer. I wish they wouldn’t. Having a dermatologist is important. And I’m not talking about so you can get the little injectables to perk up Mother Nature’s signs of aging. I’m talking about having a dermatologist that does annual skin checks so you don’t have to have a surgery like I had to have. Or worse so you don’t get melanoma. I have never been a huge sun worshiper, and I still have ended up with basal cell and squamous cell.

One of the things I’ve been thinking about is the loss of the hair in the back of my head. And psychologically how it made me feel. I faced this prospect when I had breast cancer because until all the pathology was back after my surgery they didn’t know if it was going to be just radiation or if I would also have chemotherapy so I remember in theory trying to work through how this would make me feel and I can tell you that how it feels in reality versus wondering how it’s going to feel are two entirely different conversations.

Having this hair removed was necessary. It doesn’t make it any easier. I’ll get through it because I had the surgical procedure so I didn’t have permanent hair loss in the back of my head after the Mohs surgery.

People seem to forget that there’s a real human being behind this blog. I have written before about the contact I get, and often about the times of day and night that the contact occurs. And going through this well dealing with that recently has been interesting.

I like to help when I can. But I am not going to write about everything and when you’ve just had your head sawed open and somebody’s telling you that you have to write about something and you’re thinking to yourself who the hell are you it’s kind of amusing. Sometimes it’s not amusing sometimes it’s downright irritating.

I had one person who basically took advantage of me after anesthesia. I’m letting that go but giving them the grace that they’re just in a tough spot. But they created their own tough spot for a lot of it, with and I think that’s a shame. I had other people contact me about things I really couldn’t help with so I tried to steer them towards people who might be able to.

Of course, then I had the people who had to just send me love notes to tell me what a terrible horrible person I was and you just look at the message and think these are grown-ups why do they just not move on to something else to read that’s more in line with their comfort level?

Or how about the people who want me to do something for them, message me, then block me. So I can’t get clarity on anything. But they just expect me to do whatever? People anesthesia might slow my roll but I am not that dumb.

And then there were the people that I reached out to to follow up on things that I was interested in. Ironically, nothing controversial, nothing political, just things that interest me where I want to pay it forward by writing about it. I will note that I am still waiting for a response. I understand we all lead busy lives, but it takes a very minimal amount of time to just let someone know that they got your outreach.

As a blogger, people LOVE to kiss your ass if you can do something for them. And when you ask to be put on a media distribution list because something a non profit is doing interests you and you want to be supportive but you are made to feel small? Do you remain gracious or not?

Nonprofits love it when you cover things for them especially because like people with other kinds of issues, there isn’t enough media to go around. Especially because our local papers have been bought up by hedge funds and eviscerated. And with television media, it’s a whole different ball game on what they cover, and what the powers that be will allow reporters to cover. There are also local/regional magazines and regional newspapers and every single one has their own jam as to coverage.

When I did my little outreach, I wasn’t asking for anything in the arena of special treatment or favors. Technically, I’m a paying customer. So needless to say, I am disappointed. So I’m writing about it. Nicely for now.

Bloggers are people too. I know you love to hate us especially me but I’m useful when you need something, I’m useful when you want something, and every once in a while I reach out and return and say hey can I get on a list for information? Ironically, a lot of the times these are the people that when they’re getting things out of me say oh, we count you as media as well, and then I remind them no I’m not but sometimes I need the same information if it’s possible.

But then, when I ask for the information and I don’t even get a reply to an email that was a reminder email a week after surgery and I probably shouldn’t even be thinking about it, but I am, it kind of chuffs.

But hey, that’s OK, I can also quietly chose not to support things. Because that’s the truth of the matter: when I ask for information from a nonprofit or other kind of event it’s because I’m supporting an event personally. It means that yes, I attend, I buy tickets.

And I don’t want to be that person. But when you are technically a paying customer and you happen to be a writer and you ask for information because you believe in what’s being done, what’s the problem? I’m not traditional media? I’m good enough when you want to sell tickets.

There are other things over the years and more recently that I either could not attend because of all that was going on or because of just other things. But I’m not some “influencer“ who expects to be bought paid and catered to in order for them to post a photo or two. I’m an actual real person that believes in what you’re trying to do.

And in the category of being an actual real person, when you’re supposed to be a friend and I don’t hear from you literally in a year, then you contact me and you want a favor? How am I supposed to react exactly?

Of course there are also the people that just send me links to events with no explanation whatsoever. Or links to things that I’m not quite grasping why I’m getting the links to these things and sometimes you do have to explain it to me. I try to keep up with things, but I can’t keep up with everything it’s not possible. So I really appreciate the people that send me stuff and then give me an explanation so I know what I’m looking at.

To be honest me being forced to actually sit still, and not do as much has been really difficult. As has being a woman vain about her hair being forced to lose a bunch of it.

I can’t even explain the feelings I experienced when I had to go into the bathroom in the postop so I could go home and I wanted to straighten my hair a little bit after being in post op a while. Except when I started to take the braids out that had been keeping my hair off of the first surgical wound, it all started to come out in my hands and go into the sink and onto the floor. It was totally surreal, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. It was in that moment that I understood what I hadn’t completely understood before with breast cancer, because I hadn’t experienced it.

Meanwhile, I’ve been watching all of life go by. I’ve had lots of people telling me what to do on my page this week on Facebook, which is always amusing because it’s my blog’s Facebook page not theirs.

But hey, I’m coming out the other side of this. A little older, less hair for now, and maybe a little wiser. However, with time spent to be introspective it means I realized again that you can’t please all of the people all of the time, and when they expect you to, well that’s their problem not mine.

Happy Friday!

was he only dressing up as a “professor” for halloween? (pro-tip: don’t let klanned karenhood pick your school board candidates)

It’s like Karma just gave us the biggest gift ever! Chris Bressi, the local politician running for Downingtown Area School School District School Board just got OUTED for being the FAKE people have said all along. I almost spit out my coffee this morning when this hit my inbox.

You see I’m just a little ole’ blogger and someone he called a racist among other things. But while he was going high and we were supposedly going low, you just kept looking at things and nothing added up did it? Only you wonder if the media is ever going to look into some of these Klanned Karenhood , Stepford Wives for Totalitarianism, Moms for Liberty candidates don’t you?

But hey, I have maintained all along that you shouldn’t let people who wear gas masks to school board meetings, pick out your school board candidates and other politicians…

Karma is a god. Yes, thank you Taylor Swift. It is such an amazing thing to have the media even find more than we knew about. I know I had nothing to do with the media placement with this. My phone started blowing up this morning when I turned it on and it really has given me a good giggle…

Philadelphia Inquirer : A Downingtown school board candidate pretended to be the ‘Society of College Medicine’ to challenge books

It’s one of numerous websites Christopher Bressi appears to have created that link to one another and profess to be “global networks” of academic professionals.

This is a huge article, and it is so worth getting a subscription to The Philadelphia Inquirer to read it.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-school-board-candidate-christopher-bressi-accused-of-creating-bogus-academic-network

This guy is the George Santos of school board candidates and local politicians.

Thank you to The Philadelphia Inquirer for writing about this. We owe them a debt of gratitude out here in Chester County. And no, I had nothing to do with the article.

Gosh “professor” I guess being passive aggressive towards me all these months is the least of your worries now.

But hey dude, you keep going high up into the ether where your delusions live, while we live in reality.

Between this news and West Goshen today it’s like Christmas came early.

Ciao for now!

what would george elliot have thought?
oh my gosh “professor” you’ve been found out!!
gosh the “professor” is pithy…

Today is the gift that keeps on giving for bloggers. When I finish my first post, I was in the middle of when I got this news you’ll understand why….

So, over the weekend I had written about the person defacing political signs in West Goshen Township.

shadyville crazy in west goshen

If you recall, I said, I found the timing interesting. Given the big proclamation by the West Goshen, Republican Committee.

Well, my goodness guess what? West Goshen Police thanks to the public and security cameras caught the vandal.

But wait, there’s more… He’s a guy named Paul Linkmeyer and he is Republican committeeman in West Goshen Township!

Good job West Goshen Police Department. Defacing the signs is childish and this was wrong on so many levels. And residents, if you care to share the security camera footage, message my blog’s Facebook page.

Good job Felice Fein! She is the chair of the West Goshen Republican Committee, incidentally. (She is the one that was stupid enough to allow a gun raffle at the polls in this climate that blew up in her face, right?)

Bad day to be Chester County Republicans… but hey, I am sure that West Goshen Republican Committee will have the appropriate press release to cover it, right?

So Felice I have a question: between you and Paul Linkmeyer which one of you is Beevis and which one is Butt-Head?

it’s only a little “anomaly” in the pipeline, so don’t worry your little heads about it west whiteland residents…and west whiteland supervisor brian dunn did a brave thing for residents today. (yeah now you want to click on this post, don’t you?)

West Whiteland Residents for Pipeline Saftey drone image over Ship Road/Exton Station area
unexpected work posted today 11/1/23

So we all found out that Energy Transfer AKA Sunoco AKA Sunoco Logistics was BACK on Ship Road around Exton Station. I mean the grass was barely grown back, right?

You whooo Harrisburg, over here, okay? (Well we all know you read this blog in Pennsyltucky, so whatevs…..)

Sorry readers, I will continue….sometimes I have to see if those political bears are awake and paying attention to residents….

A little over 5 hours ago, our friends at West Whiteland Residents for Pipeline Safety posted the following:

Repair work continues on Mariner East 2x on Ship Rd at Exton Station. Drone photo taken yesterday shows the pipe has been excavated very close to where the HDD exit pit was ( The drill for this section was at the Hankin apartments on Ship near Boot. After the borehole was complete pipes were pulled from the exit pit here south the the drill site).

As previously reported here, “an anomaly” was detected during recent inspection of the pipeline with a smart pig. The work is expected to last 2-3 weeks which is long compared to recent repairs done on the same pipe in Delaware County.

❓ why is this pipe already in need of repairs?

❓ what happens when an anomaly is detected on a section of pipe that is inaccessible because it was installed tens or even over 100 feet underground or through rock as is the case on many lengths of mariner East through Chester County and Delaware County?

And remember, there is no credible emergency plan to warn protect public when there is a leak of these high volatile liquids in transport through Mariner East.

This has actually been going on for a couple of days. Some hypothesize that Joe Massaro the current talking head (Public Affairs Specialist at Energy Transfer, @JospehMassaro on the platform formerly known as Twitter was tidying up for another residential massage job, perhaps?

Too mean?

Sorry not sorry but I mean you know us residents: some have had properties and wells ruined by Sunoco/Energy Transfer, and then there are the thousands of us who live in blast zones, right? We know we don’t matter to them, and are rather inconvenient to them and politicians including Democrats who love love love the myth of pipelines, fracking, and Hydrogen hubs, right?

So next thing you know, Chair of the West Whiteland Supervisors Brian Dunn is on site this morning over on Ship Road and guess what? Sunoco/Energy Transfer was NOT putting him off. He had the township manager with him as well. Supervisor Brian Dunn went DOWN into that big hole to see the pipeline and dent for himself. That pipeline is live because you do not expect them to stop running highly explosive ethane while they make a repair, do you? Actually, fool that I am and a former oil company brat from decades ago, I actually thought they would do just that, but I am but a mere mortal and a female, right?

Anyway, Supervisor Brian Dunn had West Whiteland put it all on their social media channels and website. So for once there is real time updates on a pipeline issue.

This issue is being described as “pipeline maintenance.” I daresay it’s not regular everyday sweeping up is it?

Allow me to let West Whiteland Residents for Pipeline Safety to explain further:

We now know what problem with the Mariner East 2X pipeline on Ship Rd at Exton Station needing repair, thanks to West Whiteland Township conducting a site visit this morning.

There is a dent in the pipe which was detected as “an anomaly” during a recent smart pigging inspection of the pipeline. It safe to assume this dent was caused during construction so its unclear how it went undetected before.

The green coating has been sandblasted away fir the repair and the pipe will be wrapped in clockspring, a composite repair sleeve and reinforcement system uniquely designed for high-pressure transmission pipelines. Work is expected to last until Wednesday, November 8.

The pipeline is actively transporting highly explosive ethane while this work and the excavation using a backhoe is being conducted. The last photo, with the site marked with an red X shows the densely populated area immediately surrounding.

Questions remain:

❓ why was this dent, an area of weakness, not detected in previous inspections?

❓ what happens when an anomaly is detected on a section of pipe that is inaccessible because it was installed tens or even over 100 feet underground or through rock as is the case on many lengths of Mariner East through Chester County and Delaware County?

And remember, there is no credible emergency plan to warn protect public when there is a leak of these high volatile liquids in transport through Mariner East.

Thank you to West Whiteland Township for conducting this site visit and providing transparency on this to residents – transparency we do not get from Energy Transfer nor our regulatory agencies.

https://www.westwhiteland.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=744

Here is West Whiteland’s information release this afternoon and it includes a video showing how repair will happen which is pretty cool:

Posted on: November 1, 2023

Pipeline Maintenance

Energy Transfer regularly conducts routine preventative maintenance on the Mariner East pipeline in the Township to detect anomalies before they become safety issues, One such anomaly was discovered and work is in progress to remediate it.

In order to ensure the integrity of the pipeline is not affected, the pipe will be wrapped in clockspring, a composite repair sleeve and reinforcement system uniquely designed for high-pressure transmission pipelines. Work is expected to last until Wednesday, November 8.

Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC) has been on site and verified that the activity is within normal pipeline maintenance and operations. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administrations (PHMSA) has also been notified. Township Supervisor Brian Dunn and Township Manager Pam Gural-Bear visited the site and met with ET’s Integrity Team.

The anomaly was identified as one that could be addressed within 180 days.

For more information, please email pipeline@westwhiteland.org.

But can we talk about Supervisor Brian Dunn again? Sorry not sorry but what he did today took guts He did what MORE elected officials should do: he represented his residents and went to the mat for them. That is also brave because dude was down in a freaking pipeline hole and as much as I love my readers, I can tell you I would not have gone down an 18 foot hole into the ground or whatever. (If I had been the township manager, I would have been above ground saying my rosary while he was down there, but I digress.)

This video is from 6 years ago so the public is reminded what West Whiteland
residents have gone through.
This video is from 4 years ago so the public is reminded what West Whiteland
residents have gone through.
This video is from 4 years ago so the public is reminded what West Whiteland
residents have gone through. The criminal investigation that kinda went nowhere, remember?
This video is from 4 years ago so the public is reminded what West Whiteland
residents have gone through.

It should be pointed out to she who will soon be thankfully out of office in West Whiteland is WHY people love and respect Brian Dunn, and will never wax poetically about you. I mean I know you love to slam him and misquote me, so here’s hoping you understand THIS is what being a public servant and working for the people who elected him actually means. Brian Dunn goes the extra mile for West Whiteland AND Chester County residents. He walks the walk whereas you have only ever spewed the talk occasionally.

It’s a mystery how a brand new pipeline has a dent. Perhaps it was damaged in their rush to get everything in the ground before? WHO KNOWS and we may never know because well, it’s Energy Transfer/Sunoco/Sunoco Logistics and everything has to be massaged and polished and spin doctored before the public gets information if they answer at all, doesn’t it?

Bravo, Brian Dunn but for the love of all that is holy, please don’t do that again. And please note that Brian was on site WITH Sunoco and West Whiteland Township in a planned meet up. DO NOT TRESPASS HERE. That is breaking the law and you will be arrested. Today’s on site photos provided generously by West Whiteland Township.

Happy November. Everything old is new again, including pipeline issues.
