has east whiteland been rendered mute?

After the July 8, 2026 meeting, I reached out to East Whiteland Township because part of the audio at different points in the meeting once again disappeared.

Yesterday I reached out to them again, prompted by a snippet of a meeting that Ginny Kerslake had shared:

Ginny had said (and I quote):

I just noticed that the video East Whiteland Township posted of the July 8, 2026 board of supervisors meeting has almost a full minute, muted during which they were deliberating about the vote on the requested changes to the approved plan.

And yes, a lot of of us noticed that who were watching as a zoom participant. I thought maybe at the time it was just a problem with the live stream so then I went and listened to their recording and it was the same thing.

It was because of this, and the fact that one of the people they actually muted at that meeting, and it wasn’t the first time they’ve done this to her, was State Senator Katie Muth.

To be clear, so no one is confused, this was not an executive session where they would have left the room. This was deliberation in public, and the public has a right to hear it.

So I sent a follow up email yesterday that I will share:

I realize nobody wants to talk to me because I’m against the data center, however, I contacted you in good faith on July 9, 2026. It was about the live stream/zoom/recordings of the meetings being deliberately MUTED in spots.

I asked then about your tech guys who record the meetings. I had contacted you July 9th because I have concerns about the fact that it’s subverting the public record and against sunshine laws when they mute things or edit out sound.

It came up again in conversation and I am including an excerpt that Ginny Kerslake pulled where you guys are literally deliberating in public and then the video guys cut the sound. Deliberations in public are supposed to be audible and the sound was cut in the whole room unless you were physically sitting in the room, you heard nothing.

And it’s from the same meeting in July that I contacted you about initially. And they did it again at the recent August meeting.

If they can remove the audio, they should be able restore it and you really should have them do that. And you shouldn’t let them do this going forward because it is a violation of sunshine laws.

Also note that sometimes when they have done that, you’ve actually muted our State Senator Katie Muth. And that has happened in the boardroom in the Township building and one of the times where the meetings were at Penn State when somebody turned off the microphones or took them away. I would have to go look at the video to remember which it was but I remembered there were wireless microphones.

Others are included on this email because we were talking about it. Why we were talking about it is because I’m not the only one noticing it number one, and number two if you were going to have executive session, you would’ve left the boardroom right?

If you care to reference the Sunshine Act, it’s section 704. I probably shouldn’t have to tell you guys that partially muting a meeting can indeed violate the Sunshine Act because it prevents the public from hearing deliberations that are in public and it also restricts public participation.

As of 2022, cutting the audio or muting part of a meeting that is viewed/heard online or via other telecommunications (some people dial in versus zoom on a computer or tablet) disrupts open public access.

You have a right to reasonably control your meetings as far as maintaining order and time limits on public comment, BUT this other stuff? Selective censorship is something that flies in the face of transparency and the whole concept of open meetings.

Thanks!

It’s also quite frankly, not an example of good government. I am still waiting for a reply. Since I did not receive one on July 9 or shortly thereafter, I’m also assuming I will not receive any kind of a reply that is meaningful now because what will they say? That they weren’t subverting sunshine when they were?

My final comment is they have not been doing this for just this July meeting. It’s been going on for a while. They did it again at the August meeting.

Whatever happens in that room that is being recorded and streamed and done over a Zoom or other platforms live you are supposed to hear it all. We are not hearing it all. It’s not a wedding video, they aren’t wedding videographers. If they can remove the audio, they can put it back. And they can stop doing this in the future, but my guess is they won’t do it until someone challenges it vis-à-vis the sunshine laws. And I think you have 30 days after a meeting to do that.

the curious case of chaumont drive in radnor township

I know very little of Chaumont drive other than it is off of Conestoga Road Villanova (Radnor Township) and properties back up to Newtown Road. Chaumont was once part of an estate or estates – again don’t know for sure, but it seems like 512 Chaumont Drive was the “big house” of it all when it was originally subdivided? That was the estate known as “The Peaks” and it was the personal residence of Arthur Ingersoll Meigs, a renown architect who designed among other things, Goodhart Hall at Bryn Mawr College. He was a partner in the firm Mellor and Meigs, which you will find in Radnor Historical Society archives. Mr. Meigs wife was Harriet Geyelin Meigs, a favorite of early 20th century society pages as she was among other things a debutante circa 1913 but I digress. All I know about this place is there was an estate sale/auction in 2024.

Anyway, infill development on Chaumont drive was late 20th century. Like 1970 through 2003. The home people are concerned about in the video I am about to share is 506 Chaumont Drive, which was a Robert Bruce build in the late 90s according to Philadelphia Magazine.

So the recent Radnor Township meeting had an item under “Old Business 6.A. Discussion on 506 Chaumont Drive Matter“. This was the August 17th meeting. There was no real presentation by the commissioners in Radnor, but there was significant comment by a resident of Chaumont Drive named Gregory Stagliano. Mr. Stagliano appears to be a retired attorney?

Main Line Media News only picked up Mr. Stagliano’s comments earlier in the meeting over the controversy surrounding a new proposed district court planned for it appears to be a more residential area in Radnor. A smart reporter would check out whatever from Chaumont Drive.

Public opposition to new district court in Radnor grows

However, I found Mr. Stagliano’s comments over the property circus on Chaumont courtesy of a Mr. Elebah who is his neighbor next door at 506 Chaumont more interesting perhaps? Mr. Elebah seems to be quite a business and real estate investor? So I am guessing he just wants to do what he wants to do?

Below are screenshots off of Google that show the property in question in 2012, 2023, and 2024. I also found the Philadelphia Magazine article about 506, and some real estate things.

https://www.phillymag.com/property/2015/05/12/villanova-luxury-homes-montangelica

https://www.redfin.com/PA/Villanova/506-Chaumont-Dr-19085/home/39144735

This house indeed used to have fabulous landscaping and why has it been scraped clean?

Google 2012
Google 2023
Google 2024
Old listing I found on Compass

Mr. Stagliano remarks in his comments how the township manager Bill White doesn’t seem to know his name? Does Mr. Township Manager know anyone’s name or actually help residents? Mr. Stagliano has been emailing Jack Larkin (AKA the one who likes eminent domain powers? Or is he better known for that whole Liberty University thing?)

Anyway, if you listen to the video which is an excerpt from the meeting, this house and it’s new dweller just makes you wonder doesn’t it? Like how does an property get scraped bare like that? The prior owners worked so hard on gardens.

I don’t get people who just clear lots of everything. Just do not.

The video also had Mr. Stagliano remarking about a property which abuts on Newtown Road having issues with this current owner of 506 Chaumont. If I can look up all of these properties, so can the media.

I quite simply do not get how Radnor Township can IGNORE so much?? In my opinion, which I can have, it looks terrible. And if neighbors are having issues in this upscale neighborhood, what gives Radnor Township? Supposedly this is mentioned in whatever The Radnor Gazette is, but I can’t find it?

I was also fascinated how checked out Radnor Township Manager Bill White appears?

I will also note I found reference to this 506 Chaumont in biggish Democrat fundraiser a few years ago? It was referred to as Elebah Manor? Seriously, it was publicly available on Facebook and Instagram, so were any Radnor Democrats at this event or just big Philly ones?

Maybe politics has nothing to do with this, but given the Philly presence is there a presumption on how things are done when you are a McMansion dweller who relocated from elsewhere to Radnor?

This is definitely a curiosity. But shall we start the odds on does Radnor actually do anything here? Is Kevin Kochanski the head of planning and zoning in Radnor when he is not off playing soldier of whatever retiring? I heard a rumor? This is his responsibility isn’t it? I mean how can he leave that poor codes man to deal with all of it? And what is up with Jack Larkin? If something is funky there on Chaumont Drive, does he not have the ability to act along with the rest of them?

This is very curious….but will anything happen? Will this be a case of whose property rights matter more? Will; this be a case of Radnor pussying out and saying the neighbors have to deal with this themselves? Is Radnor just trying to make this out to be a 2026 Hatfield vs. McCoys?

Time will tell.

east whiteland might listen but they don’t hear.

It is amazing as each day that goes by, East Whiteland Supervisor seem to dig their heels in more. They even have a State Senator telling them they need to act and not just contemplate their collective navels pretty much every single meeting.

They have people, including residents who have taken inordinate amount of time to show them where the flaws are, where the problems are, where the danger is and it’s like they’re paralyzed.

Once again last night, it was a lot of well we have things to think about.

I don’t understand the ostriches with their heads in the sand. Because this isn’t the first issue, this has happened over and over. I mean for how many years of people been coming to the Township not just about data centers but Bishop Tube which at last night‘s meeting got extended yet again and how many years is that? And Bishop Tube has no remediation done yet does it?

Anyway, I am going to give you videos of the voices of others. Listen to what they have to say.

Ask yourselves how one township can say they’re listening yet they never hear a thing?

maybe it’s time for east whiteland democrat bill holmes to sit down and shut up?

Bill Holmes was handing out this flyer to East Whiteland residents 7/29/26

What is the WORST thing a politician desperately seeking continued political relevance can do? Do we want to start with being a misogynistic asshat?

The opening screen shot is a flyer that former East Whiteland Supervisor Bill Holmes was handing out on July 29th, 2026. It was at the Battle of the Clouds Park at the petition signing – 7 PM is what residents who shared this flyer told me and guess what? I believe them for the simple reason that this was when some of them realized how dirty East Whiteland politics was.

So Billy Bully who still wants people to “Get On Board With Bill” doesn’t realize is that Ginny supported East Whiteland residents to get a question on the ballot about increasing the number of supervisors from 3 to 5, but this was initiated by East Whiteland residents. She did not originate the idea, and even if she had, why is it a bad idea? Because Bill Holmes doesn’t like it? Waaaaahhhh!

Point of fact is I also brought this up a few years ago and was told by a supervisor to drop it or they would stand a chance of losing control of the board. I didn’t pursue it then and NOT because of what I was told, but because residents were not into the idea back then.

This topic also was discussed by people when Holmes was actually still on the board. But no one wanted to act on it then at that point in time either.

The whole thing is about representation. Current bad situations like data center plans and other issues have made people think that 3 supervisors is simply not enough representation given how the township has grown. This is any resident’s right to ask for this under the second class township code of the Commonwealth of PA and it IS that simple. Easttown has 5 supervisors, for example. So does Charlestown. So does East Goshen. So does West Goshen. And those are the municipalities that I remember off of the top of my head.

Tredyffrin acts like they are a second class township with a board of 7 but it became a rather messy Home Rule Charter in 1976 and that is a story that needs telling. But that is another day, and not my story. Suffice it to say it’s rather surprising that the media has not picked up on that.

This isn’t something that the status quo in East Whiteland politics wants. They say they can’t get people to run, but the truth of the matter is they can’t get people to run the way they are recruiting them and isn’t that correct? As a matter of fact, it’s not just unique to East Whiteland. It’s countywide. Part of it has to do with the bizarro world of endorsement events for the primary.

The way a primary is supposed to work is water seeks it’s own level, and the people decide who they want as their candidates. Only they totally engineer it and it backfires.

Now back to Bill Holmes. After he and Jerry the diseased Pyne tree were being rather aggressive with residents on that evening where they handed out the assholes delight flyer making crap up about Ginny Kerslake etc we had the next thing: being nasty and a bully to a female resident and small business owner yes?

Well yes, sadly that happened too.

Daddy knows best or daddy will take your Barbies away doesn’t work with grown women not in the Bill cult but umm really Bill? Are we all supposed to be pregnant barefoot and in the kitchen too? Silent unless spoken to, Stepford Wifey in every way?

And then there is that Jerry Pyne email about data centers, right?

Why are they behaving so desperately anyway? What is in it for these particular Democrats? What do they lose if East Whiteland gets 2 more supervisors? What do they lose if a data center doesn’t happen?

Do we see a pattern about what happens if women in particular don’t get on the Papa DOES Preach train of do as you’re told politics? And the favorite targets seem to be women including me at times? Doesn’t that make Democrat politicians like Bill Holmes truly no better than dare I say it, Trump? You know that man that all male Democrat politicians will tell you that they don’t want to be like?

Yet here we are, right?

So Bill Holmes (and Jerry Pyne) and whomever else is on this trash women train? Thug politics never works no matter what side of the aisle. And Bill, we see you. So knock it off.

And East Whiteland residents should also remember who brought Bill Holmes to the supervisors’ table yes? Was it not Michele Vaughn?

Look it’s a petty vicious political circle all the way around in Chester County and neither major political party is innocent. It’s time for this crap to end.

And circling back to East Whiteland for a moment. Who stands to lose what specifically if East Whiteland adds two more supervisors? Who stands to lose what specifically if residents keep fighting the data center and other plans?

Who what where when? And will Bill Holmes ever behave like a gentleman?

Toodles for now.

gosh this is illuminating isn’t it?
and the (political) bullies roll into east whiteland township…oh wait they live here in some cases, don’t they?

when a municipality and politicians say “nothing to see here” isn’t there usually something to see?

Wellll isn’t that special?

Apparently there is a house at 4126 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square in Newtown Township Delaware County PA. It appears to be a rental for parties?

But Newtown Township Delaware County, PA says no gaper delay, nothing to see here, move along?

But is there nothing to see? I’ll start with the township response.

But is it really nothing to see here or they got caught with their pants down and don’t realize stuff’s been going on?

Really nothing to see? Are they sure?

Whoever owns this property, you have got to give them an “A” for effort because they’ve been doing something right underneath Newtown Township Delaware County’s noses haven’t they?

I don’t really think this is just something that you can call people Karens about and write off can you?

Hey whatever… it’s just another municipality saying nothing to see here when there’s potentially everything to see, isn’t it?

Sign me amused.



Looks like the same place?

Soooo we recently learned about certain formerly ranking Great Valley Democrats (one who was actually the former vice chair of the Chesco Dems) were running around having hissy fits about East Whiteland Township residents circulating a petition with signatures to get a ballot question on the ballot.

The question was (and I am paraphrasing) was along the lines of should East Whiteland Township add two more supervisors? Under the Second Class Township code you can increase representation.

and the (political) bullies roll into east whiteland township…oh wait they live here in some cases, don’t they?

Sadly, this hissy fit included basically bullying a female resident who’s also a small business owner, and how is that behavior ok?)

So these men, Bill Holmes and Jerry Pyne, went to where residents were gathering signatures to object. They acted like it was a threat to democracy instead of what it really was, which is democracy in action.

Super sad and misogynistic behavior is so Welcome to Stepford isn’t it?

Anyway, it makes you wonder what the motivation is doesn’t it? I think a lot of it has to do with control. I don’t think it’s as much of fear that a Republican may get back on the board, as a fear of losing control.

Are we all just puppets on this bus of these political toadstools?

I was thinking about it and lo and behold it made me wonder even more when an email reached me from 2023. An email no one was looking for, it showed up in a bulk right to know request response.

Note the highlighted area at the bottom:

This email is a chat discussing the EW and WW data center with backup generation for the data center. I do not want the part to be labeled as against business!

So yeah, who is the author of this email? Wouldn’t that be one Jerry Pyne?

Oh Jerry, it’s not too hard to figure out when this email was written. It was around the time that residents wanted West Whiteland to say no to a hydrogen hub to go with the developers desire for a data center, wasn’t it? (West Whiteland did say no, remember?)

https://www.inquirer.com/real-estate/commercial/data-centers-proposed-suburban-chester-county-pennsylvania-20230119.html

I mean it’s so funny. This email chain started like literally I guess a couple days after that big Inquirer article came out?

Precious.

Let’s review what I have been told by those who were doing RTK requests then:

This was a January 2023 email from Jerry Pyne, an East Whiteland Democratic Committee Person, and at that time, Vice Chair of the county Democrats was included in the response to a RTK request (on an unrelated issue) to the Township. The email comes on the heels of a Philadelphia Inquirer article about Charlie Lyddane’s ongoing attempts to build a hyper scale data center in East Whiteland and his attempt to change zoning in West Whiteland for data centers and power plants.

Jerry Pyne forwarded to Democrat County commissioners Marian and Josh and Township supervisor Scott Lambert (using his township email address ) an email discussion between fellow EW Democrat committee people who were discussing their concerns for impacts to the environment, quality of life and place, energy resources, etc.

But Jerry Pyne’s concern was different: “I do not want the part[y] to be labelled as anti business!” That was his concern. Not the impact this development would have on the community and the environment.

I have heard that the recent Great Valley Democrat meeting held at the East Whiteland Township Building did have some chatter about data centers. But they haven’t taken a position. And they also haven’t taken a position at this point on the desire for East Whiteland residents to get a ballot question out there on the ballot for the fall about increasing the size of the East Whiteland Township Supetvisors’ board.

I have a suggestion for the Great Valley Democrats. My suggestion is simple. They need to distance from these people publicly. They should not even have the optics out there that they might be supporting these efforts on bothering residents about having their opinions on data centers and whether it should be three or five supervisors. And the key words is they need to take a public position. No hiding, no why can’t we all get along. They need to tell people they don’t support misogynistic bullying behavior that is in my opinion anti-democracy.

And oh hell, yes I can have that opinion. And it makes you wonder who Jerry was talking to about what before he decided to contact everybody back then?

So yes, data centers in our communities are uncovering all sorts of interesting issues.

It’s uncovering how nasty these political types are getting if there’s any threat to their power structure or what they think is best at the expense of all the other residents.

Chester County, it is time for a change in both political parties. These political parties need to shut their mouths and need to sit down and listen to what is bothering the plurality.

I’m sure this issue will continue to unfold. But I thought for now this email was simply too precious not to share. Time for Jerry Pyne and Bill Holmes and others to retire.

And darling Jerry and Bill? Remember my opinions are bought to you courtesy of the First Amendment. And other political types out there? Don’t let these issues be your Waterloo. The times they are a changing IMHO.

These issues facing our communities involve everyone. Stop playing party politics (poorly).

Let’s be clear: Business Wire a Berkshire Hathaway company is a press release mill isn’t it? They publish what clients send them don’t they?

So this one sounds like developer fairy tales and new math, eh?

So who is actually going to be Plymouth Township saying NO to a Big Fat Data Center? Not the township, not the residents or the Colonial School District School District right? It’s the developer who will be “hurt” isn’t it? Isn’t this just more bullying like this township pointed out in their presser a week ago?

The press release is issued by a company name very familiar to those in Ardmore from when they were the publicist for a while for Lower Merion Township during eminent domain for private gain, and can we also say we have an Irish lass in particular who is working it once again for her favorite Irish developer?

You know people like this are always getting the band back together aren’t they every time? If it’s not condos, it’s recovery centers and if it’s not any of the above its data centers? Aren’t these people in fact like a well oiled but tired machine?

Are communities in Montgomery County (Pennsylvania) going to let them hit oil this time? I don’t think so do you? Haven’t all of these developers to an extent underestimated the human tsunami against this issue of data centers?

Also very amused to read in this release language that is literally regurgitated from when everybody was furiously sending press releases out about pipelines, correct?

I mean, let’s get real when they did the pipelines out here did most of the jobs go to local people?

Wouldn’t that be a no?

Aren’t local communities still wondering when there’s going to be an effective evacuation plan for pipelines and what is the plan for data centers?

What gives any of these people the right to say they can take all our water and use all our energy and drive people crazy quite literally with the humming of it all?

What gives any of these people the right to say hey no problem we’ll just add more pollution, you’ll never notice a thing?

Data Centers are just the new condo complex and apartment building and warehouse aren’t they?

They can take their fakakta “data analysis” and do what with it?

Isn’t it true that some people are saying that this press release today makes that developer sound a little desperate?

PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As Plymouth Township’s zoning board is set to rule on the future of the former Cleveland-Cliffs steel mill at 900 Conshohocken Road, an independent economic and fiscal impact analysis puts a hard number on what is at stake. The study, prepared by 4ward Planning Inc. for 900 Conshohocken Road LLC, finds that converting the vacant 1.95 million-square-foot dormant mill site into a data center would generate $424 million in new tax revenue over 20 years, with the majority flowing directly into Colonial School District classrooms. Blocking the project keeps that revenue at zero…..

…..The study’s own methodology notes the project would add no residential development and no new students, meaning the district receives the full revenue increase without a corresponding rise in service costs.

…….That is not a hypothetical outcome. Elsewhere, in Richland Parish, Louisiana, Meta’s $27 billion Hyperion data center campus generated enough new tax revenue that the local school board paid every vested teacher a $50,935 bonus in June 2026, up from $10,200 the year before, along with a $17,472 bonus for support staff, up from $3,323. In Loudoun County, Virginia, data center tax revenue has allowed the Board of Supervisors to cut the residential property tax rate for 10 consecutive years running, while the county nets an estimated $26 in tax revenue for every $1 spent on services those facilities require.

…….Discovery Data Centers (DDC) acquires and zones land, develops and builds buildings for hyperscale Data Center development and delivers it end-to-end. The leadership team brings 48 years of execution experience redeveloping brownfield sites across biotechnology, food distribution, tier-one operating centers, and Data Centers. Discovery Data Centers “Recycles” existing brown-field sites and buildings, expediting zoning and time to market.

Here is a brief excerpt from the New York Times article:

Along the Mississippi Delta in the northeast corner of Louisiana, Meta is building one of the largest artificial intelligence data centers in the world….Behind the scenes, an extraordinary amount of secrecy was necessary to pull it off. Energy company executives, Louisiana’s governor, state and local officials and representatives of Meta worked on the deal over nine months before it was made public….To avoid roadblocks, Meta and state officials worked in secrecy….To keep the project out of the public eye, Meta and Entergy used nondisclosure agreements with state and local officials. Even some officials who helped pass legislation to support the project didn’t know its details.

Next are some articles about Loudon County Virginia. (Now remember East Whiteland Supervisors said they had met or spoken with Loudon County officials so were they told about all the money that they would make? Did they get chapter and verse on how they’re supposed to do their confidentiality agreements or whatever?)

To quote an iconic Dire Straits song:

Now look at them yo-yos, that’s the way you do it

Maybe get a blister on your thumb

oh east whiteland, west whiteland and others here comes the weston development on king road

I figure I should mention this because God knows if East Whiteland will wake up to look out for her residents who will be affected by this plan. This may also affect other nearby residents in East Goshen Township and even West Goshen Township.

Look I have known since Weston started to exit as a company that this property would be developed. I’m grateful it’s not a giant warehouse or a data center. This property was re-zoned in 2024 to allow residential development.

My personal opinion is the development is still too dense. But my personal opinion doesn’t mean a hill of sheit here and I know that.

My main concern is this development’s access on West King Rd. There needs to be a traffic light at Weston Way and W. King Rd. If there is not a traffic light at Weston Way and W. King Rd. residents of East Whiteland and West Whiteland are screwed.

It is already incredibly difficult a lot of days to get out of driveways and side streets onto W. King Rd. So Willow Hill Development Group, my opinion is you are making enough money that you can request a traffic signal here.

I should also note for people who have been interested here and there and what happens at Weston that it sounds like there’s going to be some kind of egress or driveway from Phoenixville Pike?

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got.

No one wants more residential development anymore than warehouses or data centers. But until elected officials in Harrisburg, get off their collective asses and comprehensively update the municipalities planning code which takes an act of the state constitution that will never happen.

The plan is down to 49 houses and 6 apartment type units, I guess in the old mansion. honestly that is tremendously better from where this first started. It’s like 53 acres give or take.

Like I said, they could have neon pink houses on this property for all I care as long as there’s a traffic light at King Road and Weston Way.

live in east whiteland? please sign this petition a.s.a.p.

East Whiteland residents and registered Chester County voters we have a very important task this week: to rock the petition to get 2 supervisors added under the second class township code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania!

We. Can. Do. This!!!!!

Years ago when this township was founded and they formed a Township government there were far fewer people. Over the last 15 years I would say, this township has grown exponentially. It is time to add two more supervisors to the three so we have better representation as residents and taxpayers.

Five supervisors is perfectly attainable and normal. If I am completely honest, I wanted to do this a few years ago and I was talked out of it. I was told it was a mistake. I should have listened to my inner voice because I knew it was right and I believe it’s right for residents now.

We need more representation in our 3 board member municipalities. More representation does not create chaos, in fact, it helps restore order and balance, and we should want that.

And in East Whiteland there are already people who are interested in running for office!

Here is the Google doc where you can sign up to be contacted for an in person visit. The important thing about this petition is you have to sign in person, you cannot do it online so to speak.

This petition can only be signed by legal residents of East Whiteland Township who are registered to vote. If you are not registered to vote, you cannot sign this petition.

Here is the very simple ballot question:

“Should two additional supervisors be added to the board of 3 supervisors, creating a board of 5 in East Whiteland
Township?”

There’s no hidden message. It’s not like playing the Beatles White album backwards. It is what it is. It is as it is stated.

So come on East Whiteland let’s do this for ourselves. 

3 to 5 supervisors. It’s time to modernize.

Git’ R Done… we can do this this week! It literally takes like a minute and a half to sign and fill in your address. Again, you read the ballot question as presented to you in person and you sign your name like you do your signature for all legal documents. Then you print your name so it is legible along with your legal mailing address in East Whiteland Township as in the physical mailing address no PO Box. And the last thing you do is you date when you’re doing it.

It’s easy and it’s important. We get the government we deserve, and our vote is our most powerful tool. Some people will get very up in arms about this and the thing is it’s not a threat to democracy, it’s about democracy and our right to do this.

Let’s GO!

Thanks!

FIRED! reports from westtown indicate historic commission axed by stupidvisors

Posted on by

Last week I told you guys about the skulduggery in Westtown.

is this a case of dirty deeds done westtown cheap? is this all tied to westtown wanting to ditch the darlington inn?

Well guess what?

Packed house in Westtown Township and I hear many are calling out Supervisor Tom Foster and it’s not Ollie Ollie Oxenfreed.

Oh and breaking news they fired the entire historic commission on bullsheit trumped up charges.

Jodi Nawrocki ran for office trying to convince people she loved historic preservation, and what’s her first big act as a supervisor and the baby chair of the supervisors who doesn’t know how to run a meeting? To axe a volunteer commission. I guess she still believes in the tooth fairy if she expects to believe that this has nothing to do with the Darlington Inn or politics. she is just one of three disgraces, but she’s the only Democrat on the board and she might as well just be Tom Foster’s Sarah Palin.

Oh and former non-profit name- dropping- former -stupidvisor Carol DeWolf? I love love love the ego in you that you can’t bother to introduce yourself to the audience. You’re not the queen freaking mother, but you are still obnoxious, and now that you’re just regular old Carol from Westrown I think you can just stand at the podium like a normal person.

There is no point in being subtle here. This is a complete shit show and a travesty. This is obviously political and if you’re on a board in Westtown, you should just resign now before they fire all of the rest of you.

And that manager, she needs to go to. She also doesn’t know what in the Sam hell she’s doing.

What a freaking joke. Except it isn’t is it? This is actually really bad for residents and I’m allowed to have that opinion too.

So how can they get rid of that entire board of stupidvisors and the manager? and in the meantime, I hope everyone on that historic commission knows that they are entitled to a televised hearing and bring lawyers.

Sign me disgusted.
