Check this one out.
Freedom of speech is freedom of speech so he is certainly allowed to do whatever he wants but the pledge isn’t the place for his opinion. Just my 2 cents.
This all comes courtesy of West Vincent Supervisor Bernie Couris.
Now Bernie is an interesting cat. He was the most devoted of Republicans when he was all those years on West Conshohocken Borough Council then he moves to West Vincent and becomes Nouveau Bernie the Born Again Democrat.
I am a traditionalist when it comes to certain things and I don’t think you should mess with the Pledge of Allegiance do you?
If you think Bernie should apologize to the residents and anyone else who might hear this, please email him at:
Or call/email the manager who seems to have too much time on his hands his name is “Tommy” Ryan.

Oh and let us not forget the mysterious evaporation of whomever the forager woman was whom they initially tapped to replace Sara Shick who passed away in August? I can’t remember the woman’s name but she literally lasted like four or five meetings and disappeared. She was done.
Why that is interesting because of the sheer lunacy of whom they replaced the disappearing woman with. This is none other than Jim Wendelgass. Yes, isn’t that a fantabulosa thing? First he’s a manager then he comes back as an interim manager and now he’s a politician.
Why is this important?
Wendelgassbag was the manager that a bunch of years ago they chose not to renew his contract so he kind of went bye-bye and then went over to West Pikeland as manager because that place is very Pennsyltucky and problematic as far as government (we’ve heard about them in recent months because they keep trying to get rid of their police department and because they don’t record meetings a lot of stuff doesn’t get out.)
Wendelgassbag was at West Pikeland until he retired I guess a couple of years ago now? Then he was brought back to life like Lazarus rising from the dead in West Vincent, as like some kind of interim manager. (See the link to the old post on this blog discussing that at the very bottom of this post. )
West Vincent is one of those places that you don’t pay attention to for a while and then you go back and look and then you shake your head because every time you think things can’t get more sketchy there, they do.
And other things that I always find curious when it comes to West Vincent are little things like this open records appeal from 2024 I think it was:

I’m pretty sure this is the same woman who used to be the Township Secretary who used to get picked on by Sara Shick?
Interestingly enough they’re no longer seems to be a Township Secretary at West Vincent Township and why is that? What did they do to the last one?
You know it can get shady in certain municipalities in Chester County and West Vincent, well, it is definitely a place in need of sunshine and good government.
Don’t mess with the Pledge of Allegiance that’s like burning the flag IMHO.
