Delco Prepares Extending Solid Waste Authority Until 2074
By Sharon Devaney
Delaware County (Pa) Council, May 1, passed first readings of ordinances that would extend the Delaware County Solid Waste Authority until Jan 1, 2074. The extension is needed for the authority to incur debt said County Solicitor Jonathan Lichtenstein.
In other business, the Council passed 33 consent items including an application to the FY2r Enhanced Collaborative Model Task Force to combat Human Trafficking in the amount of $750,000 for three years from Oct. 1, 2024 through Sept. 30, 2027; and to accept $748,500 HealthChoices Reinvestment dollars from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services for the implementation of the Integrated Clinical Services Team.
Council appointed Mathew McGlaughlin and Jamal Johnson to the Economic Development Oversight Board to a term ending March 31; Councilwoman Christine Reuther to the Economic Development Oversight Board for a term ending March 31; and Sustainability Manager Rebecca Yurkovich to serve on a temporary basis as designee to the Board of Sustainable Energy Partnership of Southeast Pa in case of the unavailability of the appointed board member and the county sustainability director.

Illegal Crisis Explained At United4Delco Event — Charlie Alexander and Sharon Devaney have become the faces of the illegals crisis in Delaware County, Pa.
At about 8 a.m., April 10, 2017, Sharon’s Toyota Camry was t-boned at Lawrence and Ellis roads in Haverford Township, Pa. She was left crippled. Her daughter was with her and would have likely been killed if it was her door that was hit.
The driver of the striking car was an illegal alien from Trindad and Tobago. She was let walk away without arrest or any consequence.
Sharon says the woman still lives in the county.
Charlie, whose writings have spun the heads of Delco’s Democrats, explained what got him involved with the matter.
Actually, not that long ago he was a Democrat, he says. That began to change after Obama’s election, though. He says 2008 was the last time he voted D.
A few months ago, Charlie was told that plans were in the works to use the shuttered Delaware County Memorial Hospital in Upper Darby and Springfield Hospital to house illegals.
He called the county’s public relations department. When he described what he was trying to get confirmed or denied, initial friendliness turned cold. He was told to email his questions. Charlie did but got no response. He contacted them again without satisfaction. He wrote about it at his site, Chuckles Sports.
This begat a smear campaign with Delco officials accusing him of being a MAGA AI bot.
Charlie didn’t back down. He says his sources are reliable and in position to have knowledge of county plans.
He was told Delco planned to use the buildings at Don Guanella to house illegals.
Again, he said his sources were reliable and in position to know.
He says this was being orchestrated by non-governmental organizations such as HIAS, which started as Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.
The county of course continues to deny it.
Charlie is not a keyboard warrior. He has gone on the scene to investigate support groups for illegals and reports of suspicious vans at locations suspected of being part of the transportation network for illegals.
Charlie spoke at Wednesday’s, May 1, council meeting and gave councilmembers a blueprint as to how to win trust, which is basically to start trying to solve the problem rather than defensively denying it exists.
County Council has only itself to blame when people believe the worst. Those who stonewall and gaslight simply can’t be trusted.
