Oh how things just keep getting worse and worse. After a late night appointment of Ron Knabb to the Planning Commission Tuesday, the Planning Commission now consists of 2 members with rather large conflicts of interest in 2 rather large applications on the PC agenda. We all know that Jim Evans took his Senior Living roadshow through the PC last month. Tonight episode of COI Theater brings Ron Knabb into the spotlight. Mr Knabb is the hired land planner for the Fairview Housing project. I am sure that he will step down from any discussion or vote on the project. It is the only legal thing he can do.
This brings up the complete disregard by this Council to Council Resolution 2007-1. That was the ethics rule passed by John Messina and the boys to force out Tom Carnevale. AHHHHHH, the good ole days. Anyway, no one can be a member of any board if that person has business in front of that board. They thumbed their nose at the resolution with Evans then they rammed Knabb through without even a hearing or interviews of other candidates.
Phoenixville, where integrity goes to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, Kids, I am back after a long break (I call it a Blogwalter-esque summer break). Thanks for jumping back on board.

Council needs to recind both of these appointments.It just goes to show you that no one knows whats going on down there.Pushing thru ordinances,selling property for a dollar,the NON-READING of legislation(PA) and Specks votes and appointments.Everything this guy proposes seems to get rammed thru and when he does make a motion and discussion starts he gets all red and this psychotic look on his face.He feels that no one should challenge his motions.These acts of council need to be addressed at the beginning of the next meeting and corrected before anything else gets started.
Blogwalter posted some of the ethics ordinance this moring and referenced your summer slow down comment and then it disappeared? What's up with that? As I commented on that posting, the Borough Leadership and their lemings again ignore ordinances with impunity. And without a moral compass, there is nothing to make them do what's right. Un...freaken....believable. Maybe time for a good old shouting town hall meeting on Church Street like I see on TV but without the health care issue. These bums have no shame and no inclination to obey the ordinances, including the ones they create. Tough to obey ethics rules when you have none (ethics).
