Aqua Backing Carolyn Comitta — Carolyn Comitta, who is seeking to replace fellow Democrat Andy Dinniman to represent the 19th District in the Pennsylvania Senate, is backed by Aqua America.
The Bryn Mawr-based, now-national water company that once called itself Springfield Water Co. and the Philadelphia Suburban Water Co. but now calls itself Essential Utilities gave a grand to Carolyn in April. Wonder why they want her to win.
Could it have anything to do with their lust for the locally owned Chester Water Authority?
Guess we know where Carolyn, who now represents the 156th District in the State House, comes down on the matter.
Hey did you see where Aqua — excuse us Essential Utilities — is making beaucoup bucks supplying water to frackers in the Marcellus Shale? Not that we have any problem with it but we kind of wonder how much that warms the hearts of Dinniman’s voters.
Comitta is the one who won a few years ago against our terrific Republican State rep., Dan Truitt, by about 25 suspicious votes out of over 30,000. From what I remember, provisional ballots were involved. It was a VERY IFFY win. It was a shame because Dan was exceptionally qualified and definitely able to reach across the aisle. He was on the Education Committee and always listened to constituents’ concerns. It was a great loss to our area.
