I really get tired of the simpletons who tell me I must not have lived here long and that certain places have flooded for decades. Yes, a lot of places have flooded for decades and does that make it OK and do these people ever look beyond the edge of their own noses to see what is all being built and developed around these flood locations that just make it worse?
West Chester
Development and climate change play a big part in our flooding during storms. And the developers develop these projects and they say they’re going to do stormwater management but is it ever enough?
And while Harrisburg and Josh Shapiro are trying to shove HB-502 down our throats, do they do anything ever proactive like enact and act of the State Constitution to overhaul the Municipalities Planning Code to protect us?
And what is HB-502?
As Ginny Kerslake explains after East Whiteland publicly objected to it:
Thank you East Whiteland Township for standing up for your residents and local government. We need every township to do likewise:
East Whiteland Township recently issued letters to local legislators opposing PA House Bill 502, which would strip local governments of the power to make land use and zoning decisions related to large scale energy production facilities—handing it instead to a politically appointed board in Harrisburg.
Local officials know our communities best. We use careful planning and resident input to protect our environment and quality of life. This bill threatens that balance and could open the door to unchecked development—even on preserved land.”
How can you help stop this bad bill?
✅ Urge your Township Supervisors to follow East Whiteland’s lead. ✅ Contact your State Rep and State Senator and urge them to vote NO on HB502. (Find your legislators: https://www.palegis.us/find-my-legislator).
So back to stormwater. These storms with freakish amounts of water keep happening and in part that’s climate change.
The flooding is increasing. There IS also a connection to development, and it doesn’t mean development right where the flooding occurred but adjacent to it. Water seeks its own level.
Yesterday was yet another example as to why mankind needs to change the way we do things. Overdevelopment and climate change are real. Together they cause us more and more issues.
A little birdie told me the other day that pickleball had gotten very quiet at the Upper Main Line YMCA in Berwyn.
And indeed it has.
As previously documented and witnessed at many meetings in Easttown Township, the neighbors have been trying to see an amicable solution that is fair to everyone, not just the Upper Main Line YMCA (UMLY.)
This has been going on for a couple of years, right? And I remember from watching the meetings that the neighbors tried really hard to just be good neighbors and get treated fairly and no one heard them, so now they have filed suit and they have a shark as an attorney.
They have hired I think one of the best land-use lawyers that exists in this area, Phil Rosensweig. He was one of the seven commissioners in Lower Merion many years ago who helped stop eminent domain for private gain. As a matter of fact, he wrote the ordinance revoking its potential use.
Buckle up buttercups, this will be interesting.
UMLY is part of the YMCA of Greater Brandywine family. And the YMCA of Greater Brandywine is no secret to contretemps at times including prior pickleball issues, correct? It was at the Lionville Branch according to a Daily Local article, correct?
Easttown Township should have been better with this issue. Truthfully, Tredyffrin Township a couple of years ago was very proactive on the behalf of neighbors dealing with pickleball issues. And I believe that now today, Pickleball and residence are coexisting fairly peacefully in that municipality.
And just for the record, I’m not against pickleball. I have a lot of friends who play it, but I am also cognizant of the fact that a lot of times neighbors get railroaded over issues where they deserve better treatment.
UMLY could have avoided all of this, couldn’t they have?
EIGHT years and a press conference was at 3 PM. Here is the video from the presser:
I never thought this day would come. I have been writing about a woman I never met for 8 years. When I got the text from a reporter I know I started to cry. I know it might sound dumb because I did not know her, but when you write about someone for eight years, you start to feel like you knew her. Ironically yesterday I shared the post I wrote in February to mark the coming of the 8 year anniversary.
Today authorities swarmed the house she built in Malvern where her husband Allan Jay Gould still lived with her little boy, Andrew. I hope Andrew is Ok.
In August 2021, above screenshot was the headline news in Berks County, where Chester County’s head of voter services came from:
WEST CHESTER – Chester County Commissioners Marian Moskowitz, Josh Maxwell and Michelle Kichline announced the appointment of Karen Barsoum as director of Chester County’s Department of Voter Services.
Barsoum brings to Chester County Voter Services more than 10 years of experience working within municipal government, including seven years as assistant director of election services for Berks County.
OK this. This is off the hook. This is the absolute BEST gem of the week and if the media or public had watched the recent Chester County Commissioners meeting this is all anyone would be talking about.
A woman made a public comment regarding the Voter Services director, Karen Barsoum. She was a former employee. One of my sources today told me that this woman was so excited to join voter services at first she felt like she was taking a job that made a difference.
So this lady is one of the former employees. I think she is really brave is coming forward the way she did.
She spoke about how Barsoum supposedly reacted to staff about the prothonotary being left off of the ballot and employees were treated, the high turnover rate, supposedly how HR has been involved and has done nothing and how can that be?
There has been an insane turnover rate and this woman who spoke said that only 3 seasoned employees remain since she was hired. A total of 27 left and/or got fired. The total number of employees for the department is now about 22?
There have been other issues with candidates getting on the ballot, etc., for this upcoming election that they haven’t talked about publicly and it seems to me there’s more going on here than has actually been discussed publicly and doesn’t public deserve to know what’s really going on in County Row?
So I know who one of the other elected officials is who is not on the ballot. It is the current chair of the West Whiteland Supervisors, Rajesh Kumbhardare.
Rajesh Kumbhardare, Raj as he is known to most is a very nice, hardworking man. He gives his all for his township and he decided to run for reelection. So he did contact voter services. I am told by my sources voter services was contacted to make sure he had everything in order to file. What I didn’t know until all of this is that it’s a bit of a different procedure as an incumbent versus somebody running for the first time.
My sources told me today that Raj turned his financials in to the township. When he filed his paperwork at voter services, however, they told him he had everything. Then after the fact they told him he didn’t have his financials and rejected him. His only recourse was to basically appeal to the courts, and at that point I was told that even some people from voter services did try to help him.
However, when he went to court and in front of Judge Verway , the judge denied him. Now people have to write him in on the ballot during the upcoming election to get him on the ballot for the fall. He should be on in the first place.
Now I know nothing about these filings so I asked someone else about the financial form. Someone said that the requirement to turn that financial form in with the other paperwork to voter services is a stateregulation. But what concerns him he said is that no one caught that.
So if that’s a state regulation, why wasn’t he told when he called voter services initially this is a person who I am told is very detail oriented, so I am siding with him, although I really don’t know the man.
Further and to the point, I am told by other people that this has happened quite a few people this election season.
I think this is a county office in deep trouble. And I’m guessing a lot of of us would like to be a fly on the wall about what happened in the voter services office after these comments at the commissioners’ meeting, right?
Look, I don’t know what’s going on with County Row, but we deserve to feel secure in our elections, and after these mistakes and the recent county commissioners’ meeting, I now have legitimate concerns that we are.
My opinion is probably not going to be popular with some in the county, but that woman who spoke was even and calm and measured, and it was obviously very hard for her to have to speak her peace on this. I respect her for coming forward and I think everyone should. 
I will tell you in all fairness, that there were a couple of times when I had to call voter services and the people who answered the phone were very nice. But I can also tell you that the first time I called I was so impressed by the woman who answered the phone, that I wrote her name down.
There was a significant amount of time between when I called the first time and when I called the second time that lady wasn’t there anymore. And the second time I called is when this new director had taken the job. Coincidence? I honestly have no idea.
And again, I’m not trying to start a witch hunt here, but something is obviously very wrong with this office. Now, because there are problems with this office, there are people that have gotten left off the ballot who shouldn’t have been left off a ballot and I think that’s ridiculous.
Is my opinion that the county commissioners have to stop doing things like hiring CFOs and CXOs and start paying attention.
I also find it sad that not one single commissioner at that May 5 meeting even thanked that woman for the courage of standing up and leaving a public comment. I was also astounded at how empty the meeting was and how the media hasn’t picked up on this.
Less photo ops more governing, please. And while we’re talking about things, you never hear about Chester County any longer isn’t it interesting how the whole Advaite of it all has just disappeared?
I swear things happen in this county at the county level and you hear about it early on and then it all disappears doesn’t it? So what happens when you take the dust out from underneath the rug where things have been swept?
So NO to dirty politics and YES to smaller government. Say YES to not raising taxes on our seniors and those on fixed incomes. My opponent is still obsessing about a debate. Her moderators are 1)a guy from outside our community who is engaging my opponent’s supporters to stump for her and 2) below is the picture of the front yard of the other guy. Yeah, I not falling for your tricks 😉
Just one question yes man bobblehead talking hoodie: are you drooling while you post this nonsense?
Yes, thug politics in Honey Brook Township has reached a new level of absurd. I won’t say new low because dude’s knuckles are already scraping the ground.
What we see here is a desperate man controlled by another desperate man and bully, Supervisor Sal DiBloviator. And yes thug life, I can have these opinions on politics. It’s all part of those inalienable rights. (I have to remind them because they forget.)
I also need to remind the thug politics life in Honey Brook Township that I’m not part of any campaign. This is just how I feel on politics in that municipality so yes, I am a horrible person from the other end of the county.
Whatever.
What isn’t whatever however is the fact that they are basically posting photos of people who have Valerie Shultz lawn signs up and why are they doing that? Can it be construed they’re doing that to intimidate residents?
And let’s break down his post a little more he’s talking about some “guy” who is engaging (supposedly) people to vote for Valerie Shultz? He’s talking about a radio show host at WCHE where he was invited to come on and he’s too much of a pussy to do so so he can’t have it both ways can he? Equal time was offered, but the hoodie is running his campaign off of Facebook, and adding the occasional lawn chair event like it’s the pork shop out of the Sopranos, and that’s his choice and comfort level, right?
And umm 🤔 he’s the one obsessing over everything. Debates, because he’s the one whose jaws flap the most about it and he is running the pussy first campaign of literally debating his opponent on Facebook because he is afraid to debate her in public, correct?
Then there is the bizarre thing that even if they want to tell people it’s dangerous to put a polling place in a school when public schools everywhere do it because that’s actually a lie isn’t it?
He talks about being open and for the people yet he wants to keep people who can’t make a meeting from speaking at public comment times on zoom? In spite of the fact it happens every week all over the county and even at county commissioner meetings?
He refers to points his opponent makes as a “manifesto” to try to make it sound bad or dangerous and doesn’t he get he just sounds like a fool? Hey why not just flat out say women who have independent opinions and voices are just bitches? Isn’t that also what is being inferred in this misogynistic guide to local politics l?
And then the attempt with crayon and sidewalk chalk to say a second class township contemplating going from 3 to 5 supervisors is bad for government? In this case it would level the playing field and give more people in the community fair representation and how is that a bad thing if current politicians and government have nothing to hide?
Water always seeks its own level so he for sure has people that think he’s right, however, there are a lot of people who do not and just because they don’t have a Valerie sign on their lawn or are being quiet it doesn’t mean he’s going to get their vote. As a matter of fact, I will take this opportunity to remind every resident of voting age in Honey Brook Township that what you do in the privacy of the voting booth is your business, not theirs. and people who essentially are telling you to vote like they told you are not people you want in office.
If this guy had a backbone and an ounce of independence, I probably never would’ve said anything. If this guy and the people who run him, yes run him, hadn’t started thug politics with this primary I wouldn’t have said anything. But these people are basically just trying to beat you all down into their version of reality.
If Honey Brook Township residents don’t like being treated like they are in a bad adult daycare, stop voting for people who make you feel that way. And that would be this guy and the people who are running him.
For me, writing this post, he will roll up and do another one of his inane videos about the horrible outside. People influencing the community. I’m just expressing my opinion and I’m calling bullshit on them. This guy is not independent. He will never have an independent voice and he’s a current supervisor’s puppet. (I’m really thinking little be-atch, but I don’t want to be rude.)
And this whole thing over lawn signs being dirty politics? Let me break it down without using crayons so they understand. If you own a property in a municipality you can put up a sign for a campaign. That’s your choice.
Now, for the comments on this post:
So I don’t know who this John is, but it sounds like he’s being harassed doesn’t it? Isn’t harassing a private resident in a municipality who’s not running for office just exercising their right to have a lawn sign bad?
And if somebody has a house in the mountains or a house at the beach or a house anywhere that they go to for vacation does that mean they can’t have a lawn sign at their primary residence?
These people are bullies. And they’re getting more desperate every day that goes by because Valerie Shultz presents a real threat to what they perceive is their personal kingdom.
Of course they are now going to make a big deal because I’m talking about them again. But they wanted to be talked about didn’t they? They just wanted to be able to control the narrative. Guess what guys, you have created through your actions a narrative you cannot control now and people are seeing you for what you are actually about.
God don’t like ugly and these are some of the ugliest most disingenuous types I have seen in a while. Local government should not be about fear, retribution, and retaliation.
This all started yesterday. And it was almost like it was a rumor. Something was going on, but no one would say what and well now we know.
A special ed teacher at Conestoga, no less.
NEWS RELEASE: CONESTOGA HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER CHARGED FOR HAVING SEX WITH A MINOR STUDENT
The Chester County District Attorney’s Office and the Tredyffrin Township Police Department announce that charges have been filed against Michelle Mercogliano, 35, of Phoenixville, for having a sexual relationship with a student attending Conestoga High School where she was employed as a teacher. Mercogliano was charged with Institutional Sexual Assault, Corruption of Minors, Delivery of a Controlled Substance, and other related offenses. The Defendant has not yet been arrested but is cooperative and arranging an appropriate time to turn herself in via her attorney.
The criminal complaint (the Defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty) filed by the Tredyffrin Township Police Department indicates that, starting in February of 2025, the Defendant began to have a sexual relationship with the 16-year-old victim. The Defendant also provided the victim with marijuana. Police learned of the conduct earlier this week, quickly launched a thorough investigation, and immediately worked with the Tredyffrin Eastown School District to prevent the Defendant from having further contact with students.
Chester County District Attorney Christopher L. de Barrena-Sarobe stated, “Parents and students should be able to trust their teachers. The Defendant broke the law and destroyed that trust. It will not be tolerated.”
Tredyffrin Township Police Department Police Chief Michael Beaty stated, “The calculated actions by this Defendant are shocking and disturbing. We are here to support the victim and his family as we collectively work to rebuild the trust damaged by her criminal endeavors.”
The Tredyffrin Township Police Department is the lead investigating agency and has received assistance from the Chester County Detectives. This is an ongoing investigation. If you have any information, please contact the Tredyffrin Township Police Department at 610-644-3221. And as always, if you have concerns about the safety of a child, say something. Call 911 and call Childline at 1-800-932-0313.
I am so repulsed and at a loss for words. How does a teacher do this? how does a grown ass woman do this with a kid? And give this same access to her medical marijuana ? And why is she not in custody? 
April 30, 2025
Dear TESD Families and Community,
Today, Tredyffrin Township Police and the Chester County District Attorney informed the District that charges have been filed against a Conestoga High School teacher, Michelle Mercogliano, related to alleged unlawful conduct with a Conestoga High School student. Ms. Mercogliano was placed on leave yesterday immediately after the District was made aware of the investigation, and she no longer has access to District property. The District appreciates the work of the Tredyffrin Township Police Department and District Attorney and is cooperating with the investigation. Out of respect for student privacy and the integrity of the investigation, the District will not provide additional comment or details at this time.
Ms. Mercogliano began teaching at Conestoga this past fall. She was a teacher at Hillside Elementary School from 2019 to 2024 and a paraprofessional at Hillside Elementary and Valley Forge Elementary Schools from 2014 to 2018. We have no information at this time to indicate that the criminal investigation involves other students. However, if you have details you believe are relevant to this investigation, please contact Tredyffrin Township Police at 610-644-3221.
We are deeply troubled by these allegations. The District remains committed to providing a safe and supportive school environment for all students. We encourage you to contact your child’s Principal if any child needs support.
Sincerely, Dr. Richard Gusick Superintendent of Schools
There is no way around how ugly this is. No way at all. Now, of course, those of us familiar with Lower Merion School District know that the Central Bucks Superintendent is Dr. Steven Yanni. Yanni was Superintendent in Lower Merion for a few months, never moved into the district and then was gone back to Bucks County (where he lived, so you know that was a heck of a commute to the Main Line every day.)
It was always my opinion that Yanni used getting the job in Lower Merion to get him back where he wanted to be, which was Buck County and of course now he’s on leave because of all of this so maybe that wasn’t the best decision?
Now, although not a fan of Yanni, I am less of a fan of the insanity that goes on in a lot of these Bucks County school districts, especially this one. Let us not forget things like Clarice Schillinger, founder of the Keeping Kids in School PAC, who recruited nearly 100 parents to run for school boards across Pennsylvania over masking/anti-vaxxing etc who also made national news as the Bucks County party mom who was accused of slugging a kid?
Bucks County is a total circus with their school districts, especially Central Bucks.
But what came out in this recent thing and this report that was filed that was so explosive to me demonstrates that there’s like this breakdown between school districts, the state including things like “Child Line”, and police departments.
It reminded me of something that happened in Chester County and that was the death of that poor girl, Malinda Hoagland. That made national news as well.
So these two cases this new one in Bucks County and this one from last year in Chester County, to me clearly illustrates that all these agencies that are supposed to be working together for the benefit of children are in fact not.
Let’s start with Child Line which has been a subject of scrutiny in the past. In 2023 there was a report put out about their registry by the University of Pennsylvania Law School and Temple Law School:
Now I think because of the problems experienced because of Child Line not l functioning properly, or perhaps functioning unfairly as these articles indicate, it also means that school districts are perhaps reluctant to go to the state and file with Child Line?
I know from what parents told me I guess it was a couple or a few years ago when there were issues at some local daycare places. Parents told me about their experiences calling Child Line among other things they basically felt like when they called in something they weren’t heard or taken seriously. Others have said to me it’s like calling any other thing in Harrisburg that’s supposed to help residents, it’s just a study in frustration.
Of course the greatest irony is because the federal government is monkey around so much with education and actually most probably wants to try to get rid of the Department of Education, these resources are needed more than ever.
I think there’s a lot of blame to go around. And then you look at the hierarchy and what not within each school district. Often teachers are afraid to step forward. They have to deal with their peers. They have to deal with their teachers union. They have to deal with the administration. It is my opinion that that’s why you didn’t see very much happen that should’ve happened with the whole scandal within the Great Valley School District of making hyper sexualized and horrible fake social media profiles of teachers within that district. That made the news and then it fizzled out and disappeared.
That issue shouldn’t have disappeared like that, but you know in order for law-enforcement to do anything teachers have to step forward and allow their names to be used, don’t they? The school district certainly didn’t want this blown up anymore in Great Valley. They wanted it to disappear.
And then there is the crap that all of the school districts have had to deal with since Covid. First there was masking an anti-vaxxing. Now it’s back to book banning. The latest was Radnor School District. And there we all saw a familiar face from the Great Valley School District book banning debacle that included litigation that cost the district and taxpayers quite a bit of coin, and the litigation went nowhere.
I’m pleased to report that Radnor school district is UN-banning the books it banned and I’ve posted the link to the meeting so you can hear how the parents, residents, and former attendees of various Radnor schools felt. You have to surf a little bit into the video, but it’s well worth listening to these people.
The school districts in Pennsylvania seem to deal with a continual circus. I think that’s fair to say. That makes it harder for them to do their jobs.
I also think that is fair to say I think there was an enormous breakdown in the Central Bucks School District, circling back to what I opened this post with, but they’re not the only district that suffers from these things. Now I think Superintendent Yanni will be the scapegoat here and the fall guy, especially because the Republicans in that area didn’t want him here in the first place, did they? But he’s not the only one that can take a lap or two for how that whole horrible scenario all happened at Jamison Elementary.
I have to be honest and say that I am not surprised that there are issues in any school district when it comes to special needs kids. There are the teachers and administrators and other personnel who really really care, and then there are the ones who don’t.
I have had many friends over the course of my life who have had kids with varying degrees of special needs in some very familiar school districts who ended up having to take their kids OUT of these public school districts, and in some cases, sue the district to get the kids into better programs elsewhere.
And then there are the parents who want school districts to deal with severe bullying issues, and things of that nature. And there’s a lot of double talk, but not a lot of action. And sometimes the bullying is not from the kids, it’s the adults, yes?
The circus of school districts needs to get back to the best interest of the child. Every time one of these horrible things happens school districts say they’re going to do better. Then the state will say it’s going to do better, and eventually it all goes back to the way it was doesn’t it? Actual change and reform need to happen.
And that includes a need for school districts to have effective mechanisms in place to deal with the parents that think that what they believe personally should be applied across the board to every parent with things like book banning. The dead baby poster toting book banning poster toting parents are taking up a lot of valuable time within our school districts. They seem to think that their rights matter more than everyone else’s. These circus routines distract from more important matters. You know things like child abuse. Or actual education.
And Harrisburg? Well, Harrisburg is its own cesspool, and this is a glaring example of what they need to actually do better as well.
And then all of these school districts and the state have to work better with law enforcement. it has to be a partnership for the betterment of the children, putting the egos and partisan politics aside.
OK, I’m getting off my soapbox now. But I just think there’s actual reform that needs to happen and it’s not just in one exceptionally problematic school district in Bucks County.
Savvy’s screenshot gave me pause. Watched the meeting video and then saw a familiar face….
Well in addition to the malarkey over books courtesy of this Mike Lake at Radnor Township School District School Board Meetings, he apparently has an erstwhile assistant? Gosh we’ve all seen her at meetings out here, haven’t we? Radnor residents, we apologize that the dead baby book banning poster toting woman from Great Valley is assisting the foaming at the mouth book banning man in your township now.
Her name is Fenicia Redman and people in Great Valley are rolling their eyes, right? Yeah we remember her and her dead baby posters etc., don’t we? Taxpayers go to pay for her nonsense until the courts eventually dismissed what she was attempting. She wanted the samey same books banned in Great Valley. (And remarkably her GoFundMe https://www.gofundme.com/f/5j8tn5 is still up AND Mike Lake donated to it.)
So Mr. Lake, the thing is the police in East Whiteland actually investigated and well ummm….d’oh there was nothing actionable, was there? I mean dude you can ask East Whiteland Police yourself, ok?
So now Fenicia (who tried to get in my face at a historical marker ceremony in September, 2023, because she wanted me to KNOW her and she will tell you that I told her to her face with supervisors, residents, and a state rep right there that I still had NO desire to know her) is being a busy bee in Radnor? Bzzzzzzz and the most important take away? She LOST here in Chester County in the Great Valley School District.
So I noticed in the Savvy Main Line screenshot a woman holding signs. And I looked at the video. I thought nahhh it can’t be, but it was, sadly. I doubt she moved to Radnor Township (although people out here could be hopeful, right?) so I would say she is merely lending her chaos expertise as it were.
Look, this whole thing year after year is ridiculous. It is not up to these people to decide for everyone and everyone’s kids. And I always wonder whose sexuality are they worried about when they go on these crusades?
Anyway, birds of a putrid feather and all that. Barf.
Just remember: she LOST in Great Valley. Here’s hoping Radnor Township School District School Board remember where they left their balls?
Honey Brook Township is the thug politics gift that keeps on gifting, or is that grifting? Haven’t seen any grifting but who knows, right?
My favorite “truth” this Tuesday comes from the lips of the guy running for Honey Brook Township supervisor when he essentially said Valerie Shultz his GOP opponent is bad because she’s a (shock and horrors) COMMUNITY ACTIVIST!
A community activist? Can you IMAGINE? Oh my gosh does she have horns?
And then there is all of the drivel about for whom Valerie works, a pharmaceutical company and why is that bad when her opponent’s wifey ALSO works for a pharmaceutical company?
And lest we forget, he’s a PERFESSIONAL. And if you listen to what he says if you want a bobblehead yes man for your dashboard, he’s your guy. Personally I think dashboard bobbleheads are tacky.
But what is really and truly disturbing is politician and current stupidvisor Sal DiGiacomo. Is he terrified of Valerie Shultz or just an asshole? Hard to tell. And yes, in case the Captains America are wondering I can have these opinions.
Now Stupidvisor Sal really goes out of his way to have conduct unbecoming. He literally trashes Valerie Shultz and claims things are “proven” about her and I would like to know who is this sly dog executioner? I mean besides him, right?
Also in the mix? Mrs. Honeybrook Residents Group Admin who has recently banned politics in the Honey Brook Echo Chamber after essentially getting hoisted by her own petard, yes?
But back to Sal who loves getting his photo taken holding checks. He is astounding and a prime examplewhy Honey Brook Township needs MORE Vals and NO Sals.
Change can be hard for communities, but the way these people are reacting makes you wonder what they are hiding, doesn’t it? And oh by the way there is someone named Cheryl who likes to opine on all things Honey Brook Township like she’s an expert on the area, and hey that’s cool except the little lady doesn’t actually live there…she just works with Stupidvisor Sal’s wifey so does that make her a ringer for the dark side?
And best of all I think I know WHY the stupidvisors hate her other than when people ask normal questions and expect truthful answers from local government it’s a problem is because of the ballot referendum in 2023 that probably scared the crap out of them. In 2023, she initiated a petition to place a referendum on the ballot to add two supervisors to the three-member board. I think that is a great idea and WISH more 2nd class townships would do this. Val is also for having a local police force because the Pennsylvania State Police are so overburdened. That is just common sense, and what I don’t get is why her opponent doesn’t embrace that as a member of Upper Uwchlan’s police force? I mean you would think he would get it, right?
I hope you check it and her out…and remember they are trying so hard with nasty divisive thug politics to keep her off of the ballot and THAT is exactly WHY if you live in Honey Brook Township, you SHOULD vote for her.
It’s time to shake the cobwebs off of the lack of sunshine in this municipality and take out the trash.
So… news out of Caln this morning is Lloyd Farmhouse is safe-ish for now. I say safe-ish because I trust neither the developer nor Caln Township. Maybe this time it will be different because Caln has a manager with a moral compass but who knows?
