I just can’t even with East Goshen. I just don’t want to believe they’re turning into one of those townships,that need constant watching yet here we are aren’t we ?
It’s dumb stuff from the procedurally wonky, to being utterly miserable to residents, to wondering what the else they are up to? The meeting this week was quite the revelation. I don’t want to say this new combo chair and vice chair are skirting the phrase “power trip,” but are they?
Oh East Goshen, really? The term is not abstaining, it’s recusal. If you are going to recuse yourself from something, then you don’t continue to run the meeting you get your rump off of the dais and you leave the room until that item is finished. Good Lord, from claiming 100% transparency and inclusiveness at this meeting to this, they all should’ve been given Roberts Rules of Order for a New Year’s gift.
Madame Chair shouldn’t wish to be a little bit preggers here politically, correct?
⬆️ This snippet above is yet another interesting snippet from the most recent East Goshen Township meeting. This is a public meeting so people can record off of recordings and while watching. You kind of have to if sunshine is becoming an issue because things just disappear or then you can’t hear them or something right?
My favorite part about this comes at the end when that ever so delightfully charming vice chair basically says they have to kind of defund their police. Why not cut other areas? There are lots of things with budgets, correct? I mean what is really wrong with the finances in East Goshen Township that they don’t want to pay their police force to protect and serve? It doesn’t seem like the police force is asking for anything outrageous does it? Or did I miss something?
⬆️ Once again see above. This is a very curious business with East Goshen and are they literally trying to get rid of incumbent Township volunteers of the registered Democrat persuasion by changing up how they appoint people to boards? And the magical sudden appearance of people interested for one committee in particular when other committees can’t dig up a dead body to serve? Really?
And in particular wait for the end and listen to the vice chair, essentially kind of threatening or maybe it’s just harassing harangue a resident who has served East Goshen Township for years? Talk about conduct unbecoming in a public official. That guy should resign, or maybe stand at the end of his driveway and hand out plastic bags all day?
Yes I am totally serious here about resigning. And he might not like my opinion, but I am entitled to it under the United States Constitution that he likes to believe in so much.
Threatening either overtly or perceived threatening is not a good look especially with a female resident/sitting committee member during a meeting with “come to the township in person and we’ll go at it” is something this township needs to take seriously, don’t you think? Vice Chair Jon Hertzog should realize that you can’t speak to any resident this way, and does he have an issue with women in particular? Need sensitivity tracing much?
East Goshen seems to be, well, delaminating. I actually feel sorry for the three newest supervisors.
Here’s the other recent post I wrote recently:
Now, so people don’t go all hooting and hollering about me sharing snippets and not the whole video from East Goshen, at bottom their meeting and it’s entirety as posted by them on YouTube.
And for goodness sake stop saying “Zoom Room.” It’s cringey. Every time Madame Chair says that I keep waiting for a disco ball to drop or something.
Stay warm.
