Honestly….you just can’t make this stuff up if you tried. The latest tempest in a misplaced sense of entitlement teapot in Willistown Township, Chester County is because the township is essentially calling for resident decorum at township meetings. Basic Roberts Rules of Order, truthfully.

So it’s in the upcoming agenda:

Here is the resolution:

Shock and horrors, the overly entitled meeting savages are being told that people have to act like grown-ups. You would think someone was being put in a pillory wearing a scarlet letter. It’s hysterical.

“We are not most places.” That, dear readers, sums it all up. Utter misplaced sense of entitlement and we are all peasants by comparison.

So now we know the natives are restless once again in Willistown Township.

I had to laugh when I started to read this commentary above because this is kind of the way a lot of municipalities operate. And the reason this is happening in Willistown is because sometimes the residents are so incredibly rude when they are speaking.

I completely understand being passionate about something, but you have these people in Willistown that literally monopolize the meetings and have misplaced sense of entitlement.

And in the same vein, they are horribly rude to the manager and other staff at the meeting as well as the supervisors.

Now, I totally get being terse addressing elected officials as some of them can just make you crazy, but they take it to a whole new level.

And some of the former main sewer rats, whom you thought would sort of calm down after the sewer sale was yanked, still monopolize every meeting and they don’t just speak once or twice they go on and on, and on a lot of the time. They interrupt, they interject, they act like they run that township, and they do not. Whatever points they’re trying to make get lost in translation every meeting and if you’re watching the meeting you just sit there thinking it would be more fun sticking needles in your eye.

At some point towards the end of 2023 they were incredibly vile to the new township manager. I forget which meeting it was, but it was on a recording and it was just terrible so this is a Roberts Rules of Order they reap what they sow.

I will tell you what bothers me honestly is the fact that Willistown is in temporary meeting spaces for I don’t know what reason – I guess they’re having work done on the township building – and they’re not going to be recording meetings or offering Zoom. I find that in particular a problem and truly anti-sunshine, because there is so much technology out there today that they could indeed at least record the meeting and put it up on YouTube or something. Especially because they are in schools and most schools have recording equipment right?

Let them eat cake….in Willistown. Ta-ra for now.
