Tevin Calls Out Christine On ‘Misinformation’ Claims

Tevin Calls Out Christine On ‘Misinformation’ Claims — We missed last night’s (July 17) meeting of Delaware County (Pa) Council, but Tevin Dix tells us he called out Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther concerning an email conversation he had with her.

Christine told Tevin that Charlie Alexander and Leah Hoopes had “no facts” regarding their concerns, respectively, about the county facilitating illegal immigration and rigging elections.

Charlie has posted his share of videos regarding suspicious behavior concerning foreigners who appear to be in violation of immigration laws.

And why did Springfield call a special meeting in June to pass an ordinance bathing in parks?

Hey Christine, have you looked at the scars on Sharon Devaney’s knees yet?

Leah, of course, recently won a court case concerning voting irregularities in Delco.

And why did District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer publicly claim that he dismissed a criminal complaint by Leah, Greg Stenstrom and Ruth Moton because the evidence they presented was three doctored internet videos, when the truth was it was 37 raw videos from a whistleblower?

The reason for the suspicion is entirely your fault, Christine.

Delco Fire Training Project Tabled

Delco Fire Training Project Tabled — County GOP Finance Director Dave Galluch of Newtown defended a proposed interior fire training building before Delaware County (Pa) Council, July 3.

The structure at the training center 1600 Calcon Hook Road in Sharon Hill was expected to be passed as a consent item but removed after objections from Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther.

The 23-acre site is owned by the county but leased to the Delaware County Board of Fire and Life Safety.

The building would cost $5.5 million with $2.05 million coming from the state and the rest evenly divided between the county and the tenant.

It was a rare instance of Ms. Reuther objecting to spending. Was the project too macho?

Christine Reuther And Speech

Ms. Reuther made herself a target of citizens ire when she objected to Charles Alexander of Marple facing the audience during the first round of public comments.

“Can I raise a point of order, just about public comment” she said. “. . . Is public comment really meant to be comment to council . . . or is it sort of, you know, open mic night at our local bar?”

John DeMassy (phonetic) of Drexel Hill spanked her a few speakers later when he pointed out that Pennsylvania’s Sunshine Law obligates Council to allow speakers to comment to Council and/or the people, and face whatever why the speaker wishes.

Michael Straw of Media also ripped Ms. Reuther. He defended the First Amendment and blasted her for objecting to speech. He also noted that Council has blocked comments on its Facebook page ostensibly to stop “misinformation.”

The only antidote for lies is truth. “Misinformation” doesn’t disappear because it isn’t posted on a particular forum. It just hides in the woodwork like termite causing destruction in secret. When the “misinformation” is seen, though, perhaps on an official site, it can be countered and defeated.

Wonder why Council doesn’t get that.

Of course calling truth “misinformation” is worst kind of misinformation. Maybe that’s what they fear.

Ms. Reuther was later taken to task by a Springfield woman for being “smug”. She also bizarrely said illegals bathing in Darby Creek were not a county concern but a local matter. We could almost swear she was laughing when she this.

Other Matters

Kimberly Brown of Colwyn demanded an audit of George W. Hill Correctional Facility where she works. She said pay discrepancies are demoralizing the staff. Competency and effort are not rewarded, she said.

Executive Director Barbara O’Malley said bridge work on New Road in Aston and Manchester Road in Middletown will be completed by year’s end.

Delco Council Slammed For Fiscal Irresponsibility

Delco Council Slammed For Fiscal Irresponsibility — Delaware County (Pa) Council, July 3, again faced accusations of fiscal irresponsibility.

Moody’s has lowered the county’s bond rating due to its deficit spending and property owners can expect a tax hike of between 19 and 30 percent next year.

Charles Alexander of Marple brought up the numerous — and unnecessary — lawsuits in which the county has found itself and accused them of allowing this situation just to throw funnel money to Ballard Spahr.

Ballard Spahr is the Philadelphia law firm chaired by Mark Stewart who is the husband of Delco’s congresswoman, Mary Gay Scanlon (D-5).

Alexander said the suits are sapping the county dry.

Michael Straw of Media asked why Council is approving a $79,100 contract with Bonnie Hartley of InSync Services for leadership training when those tapped for it should have already had the skills when hired. He also wanted to know why the county is paying for yoga classes for its Health Department, which, by the way, has a $19 million budget and didn’t exist five years ago.

Kathy from Haverford said the county sheriff never shows up for work. She wanted to know why his salary is almost six-figures.

John DeMassy (phonetic) of Drexel Hill gave a bleak assessment of Council’s competence in money management.

“The more you pile on debt, the worse it’s going to get,” he said. “Raising taxes isnt’ going to fix the credit rating.”

The only solution is to control spending, he said.

Right-To-Know Contract Draws Concern In Delco

Right-To-Know Contract Draws Concern In Delco — Charles and Howard Alexander of Marple, Kathy from Haverford, Michael Straw from Media and John DeMassy (phonetic) of Drexel Hill expressed concerns to Delaware County Council, July 3, regarding a proposal to outside firm to hire right-to-know requests.

DeMassy pointed out that the $72,000 they propose giving Keystone Municipal Solutions comes out to about $130 per hour whereas a county employee doing similar work would cost $30 per hour.

He also expressed concern that plan is to hide information rather than provide it.

Solicitor Jonathan Lichtenstein would later point out that it is a temporary contract for a temporary situation caused by the retirement of former right-to-know officer Anne Coogan. He said the county is in the process of hiring an in-house person for about $30 per hour. Right-to-know requests are now in Lichtenstein’s lap and he says he’s swamped considering his other duties.

Blame Delco Council For Election Suspicion

Blame Delco Council For Election Suspicion — Delaware County Council got tough love, July 3, when it was pointed out that election suspicions routinely aired that trigger them so profoundly are entirely their fault.

Right to know requests for election documents are almost automatically rejected by the county, even after rulings by the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records that the documents are public.

There is only one logical explanation for this behavior and when one figures it out, it makes one sick.

Also Delco continues to deny poll watchers the same access at its central ballot counting as a other precincts. The different standard was due to Covid as revealed at a recent Montgomery County Commissioner meeting.

Montco is about to end the restrictions. Delco seems to want to make them permanent.

Why? Again, the one logical explanation makes one sick when one figures it out.

On Wednesday, Scott Thomas of Broomall refuted objections raised by Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther at an earlier meetingregarding the feasibility of counting ballots by hand. Laura Lewis of Radnor again raised concerns about voting machines.

Carris Kocher of Concord objected to the opening of additional voting centers and accused the Board of Elections of giving Election Director James Allen to make decisions unsupervised.

She also said the county does not require election workers to take an oath to follow the Constitution.

Video Of Illegals Bathing In Creek Blows Up Delco Council Meeting

Video Of Illegals Bathing In Creek Blows Up Delco Council Meeting — Delaware County’s illegal alien crisis simmered through the evening, July 3, as citizen after citizen implored County Council to act.

It exploded at the end when James Small displayed video of illegals bathing in Darby Creek at Springfield’s Rolling Green Park.

Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther, who had been just been blasted by a Springfield woman for being “so smug”, sent things over the top when she rather smugly told the crowd that Rolling Green wasn’t a county park. They should take matters up with Springfield, she said.

The meeting was soon called to a close.

Springfield, June 18, banned bathing in township parks to address the problem.

It was bizarre Ms. Reuther couldn’t get that this is everybody’s problem.

Small, of Marple, noted that two white vans filled with apparent illegals have as been seen at the Wawa on Township Line Road, Upper Darby. This is a few hundred yards from the park.

Earlier in the night, Charles Alexander of Marple told Council that it will be tarred and feathered if an illegal commits a murder in Delco He noted he has video on X of bathing by apparent illegals in Darby Creek.

Gary Rider of Marple said illegals were an obvious burden. They swim in the creek naked and cause car accidents.

“How can you let this happen in this county?” he asked.

He noted the tax burden illegals cause

“(US citizens) don’t get $1,200 a month and free medical,” he said.

He pointed out that children who don’t speak English are flood Delco’s schools and taking teachers from the children of citizens.

Carris Kocher of Concord said if sheriff’s department began using the power granted it, it could resolve illegals.

A woman who described herself as a teacher and mom asked council to protect elections and its citizens from those who come here illegally.

Tom Flocco of Media said millions are illegally crossing the border.

This means poor Americans will remain poor for generation, he said.

He accused Councilwoman Elaine Paul Schaefer of pushing hard for illegals to come to Pennsylvania and noted she was a board member of the local HIAS chapter. Illegals get free treatment at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital and are the distributed throughout the county, he siad..

Tevin Dix of the Drexel Hill section of Haverford called council liars for denying that Delco was a “sanctuary county”. He thanked God for Alexander and his video.

“Your party wants to live in a fairy tale,” he said. “You are going to use illegals for votes.

He said he was praying for them.

Sharon Devaney of Haverford noted Delco was obviously a sanctuary county and its getting worse and worse. She said she had just seen a frail 70-year-old man thrown in jail for a minor bail violation while the illegal who crippled her in a car accident seven years ago was never prosecuted and remains fancy free in the county getting free stuff.

She said she saw on the SEPTA busway in Ardmore an apparent illegal with his arms and face covered with tattoos. Face tats are a gang sign.

Rosemarie of Marple said there was proof of illegals and blasted Council’s dismissal of their concerns. She said they weren’t listening and just “hoping we go away”.

Nobody has a problem with legal immigrants, she noted.

A woman from Media and a man defended Council’s policy regarding illegals.

A video of the meeting can be found here.

And here is the video presented by James Small that turned the meeting upside down.

Charlie Alexander addressing the crowd, last night. That he faced the crowd rather than Council would bring forth a smug comment by Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther about public comments being open mic night. It basically is Christine for three minutes.

Delco Hires Three Medical Examiners

Delco Hires Three Medical Examiners

By Sharon Devaney

Delaware County (Pa) Council, tonight, July 3, approved 29 agenda items including an agreement with doctors to serve as medical examiners. They are Dr. Gary Collins for $55,000; Dr. Khalil Wardack for $100,000; and Bonnie Hartley of InSync for $79,100.

Council also approved a change order with Meco Construction that will raise the cost of the the Orange Street parking project to $1,396,498, an increase of about $11,000

It was announced that there were 43 court ordered tax refunds between 2016 and 2024 totaling $72,776.93.

Council also approved the removal of Donna Silvestri from the Delaware County Conversation District Board.

In public comments, Kathy from Haverford questioned the utility of Delco’s Medical Examiner’s Office.

“They don’t do anything,” she said. “Call 911 for a dead body and they don’t come out.”

Carris Kocher of Concord noted that the delay in getting the Orange Street garage running has caused a tremendous inconvenience.

Open Records Office Again Rules Against Delco

Open Records Office Again Rules Against Delco — The Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (OOR) has ruled in favor of Leah Hoopes, we have been told.

Leah appealed to the OOR, May 8, when Delaware County denied a request to see election return board records saying she was not a qualified elector.

The county fought the appeal initially hiring  Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel, the law firm in which state GOP Chairman Lawrence Tabas is a partner.

Regardless, Leah won.

“There is no argument or evidence before the OOR that would indicate the Requester is not a qualified elector,” wrote Appeals Officer Tope L. Quadri. “Therefore, the appeal must be granted.”

Delco has a right to appeal the OOR ruling to county Common Pleas Court which has disconcertingly ruled in the county’s favor in similar appeals.

We expect them to do so.

It’s disconcerting because the county courts invariably rule for the county creating a suspicion of bias and damning suspicion of a grave coverup.

When concerns about elections are expressed at Delco Council meetings the members — usually Christine A. Reuther — sneeringly dismissed them and mock those making them.

Here’s a better idea — assuming Ms. Reuther and the rest of Delco Council actually care about civic trust and unity: Stop fighting open records requests concerning elections.

Really, why isthat hard?

The logical answer is rather ugly.

Delco Dems Hiding Information?

Delco Dems Hiding Information? — We just got this little tidbit from someone with connections to the Delaware County (Pa) Courthouse.

Make of it what you will.

It would be helpful for citizens to know that since Dems have taken over courthouse, the way cases are handled has altered. Info which was once freely available has become unavailable.
