Councilwoman Reuther Ripped For Sneering At Citizens — Delaware County (Pa) Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther was ripped, June 18, for the dismissive, disdainful and patronizing way in which she has been treating the public.
Kimberly Brown of Colwyn expressed concerns at Council’s June 5 meeting that procedures weren’t properly followed in a grant application by her borough.
Last night, Media GOP Chairman Michael Straw asked in the first round of public comments if Council acted her concerns. He suggested they table Colwyn’s grant until it investigate the matter.
Straw was followed by Ms. Brown who provided a checklist of what Colwyn failed to do.
When this round of public comments ended Ms. Reuther launched into an attack on Ms. Brown.
“Ms. Brown is known for making extensive comments at public meetings quite often in Colwyn in addition to here at the county,” Ms. Reuther said . She condescendingly granted her right to make then dismissed concern she expressed. She said regarding grants they just accept what is submitted by the municipality and if Ms. Brown still had a problem she should take the matter to the district attorney.
Chairwoman Dr. Monica Taylor also addressed Ms. Brown’s concerns but more respectfully. She said she had looked into the matter and found that there was flexibility regarding the dates for municipalities to submit their applications.
Charlie Alexander of Marple, in the second round of public comments, brought up a social media post by Ms. Reuther describing commentators as “dispensing misinformation about elections” and expressing “paranoid delusions.”
Suspicion is not paranoia, however, and seeing inconsistency is not a delusion. Alexander noted that Council’s claims about the proposed facility at Delco Woods changed several times.
Ms. Brown returned to the podium and noted she proved everything she claimed about the process.
“Now they are making exceptions,” she said.
She also noted that she never saw Ms. Reuther at a Colwyn meeting.
“So how did she know I was so outspoken,” she said.
Tevin Dix of Upper Darby took Ms. Reuther to task for social media comment.
Vote fraud is real in Delco and Delco is a sanctuary county he said.
“Please, we are not trying to be jerks here,” he said. “I want you to just take this very seriously because illegal immigration is destroying this county.
Election Concerns
And again others brought up concerns about elections.
Robert Mancini of Marple said he has filed criminal complaints again on county official and asked that he be placed on administrative leave due to his proximity to elections.
He said Delco was in violation of federal election laws.
Laura Lewis of Radnor said that Puerto Rico had serious issues with its voting machines and wondered why Delco’s should be trusted.
Ms. Lewis also noted that professional protesters from New York City will be bussed to Malvern during the week of July 1 to picket Vanguard, ostensibly because of its investment in oil companies.
Tom Flocco brought up the documentary regarding Delaware County’s 2020 election featuring The Parallel Election authors Greg Stenstrom and Leah Hoopes. The video was made with assistance from Project Veritas. It uses hidden cameras to capture Delaware County election officials illegally destroying records, breaking chains of custody and other things. It can be found here.
Kathy from Haverford and Joy Schwartz of Upper Darby and others criticized the temporary appointment of County Solicitor Jonathan Lichtenstein as open records officer. County Clerk Anne Coogan, who had held the job, is retiring. The county has approved the hiring of a separate “right to know” officer.
Delco has been fighting “right-to-know” requests even after Pennsylvania’s Office of Open Records has ruled that they should. These requests often involve election issues.
Other Matters
Ms. Schwartz also threw shade at Delco’s flying of the LGBQT flag which celebrates rejection of the Bible and the depopulation of the planet. She said the county should only be flying the US and Pennsylvania flags. As Council rejects that tradition, she asked that it fly the Pine Tree Flag.
James Small of Broomall said he wanted the county to fly flags honoring Ireland and straight, white men.
In fairness, the County is celebrating Juneteenth.
Andrew, a worker’s rights advocate, told council that government agencies are pressuring him via intimidation to cease his activism. He says they are doing so on behalf of company unions and fake labor activist.
Francis Earl Reed of Colwyn described an issue of unfairness.
A woman from Media praised Delaware County Council for keeping the Don Guanella a park. She said county elections are fair and Delco is not a sanctuary.
Another woman praised Democrats in general.
Executive Director Barbara O’Malley said that the county rejected a Don Guanella building as long-term structured residence for those with mental disorders because the money available wasn’t enough for the required renovation. She said Delco is seeking another site the needed facility but has no plans to build one.
She said residents can now make online appointments for a passport at the Office of Judicial Support.
