Delco Woman Still Suffers From Crash Caused By Illegal

Delco Woman Still Suffers From Crash Caused By Illegal — Sharon Devaney’s life got worse when her Toyota Camry was t-boned at Lawrence and Ellis roads in Haverford Township, Pa. about 8 a.m., April 10, 2017.

Sharon, then 44 of Havertown, was dropping her daughter off at her parents before work.

She said it was lucky that the crash was on her side as her girl, who was just a middle-schooler, might not have survived.

As it was, Sharon was left with permanent injuries to both legs.

“I used to go running. I can’t run any more,” she said. “I can’t bike. There is so many things I can’t do.”

She said the other driver was doing about 70 mph when she hit. She was an illegal alien from Trinidad and Tobago.

Police would tell her they couldn’t turn her over to immigration authorities as Delaware County had declared itself a sanctuary county.

And that was when it was controlled by the GOP.

We wrote about it which brought forth much protesthing from the powers that were.

Anyway, the lady from Trinidad escaped serious punishment and she remains in the area today.

Sharon began making illegal aliens an issue.

This was the right thing to do. Exempting a group of people from the laws of the land is basically committing social suicide, after all.

She said, however, this made her the subject of a vicious harassment campaign.

A series of customers claiming bad service and implying racism caused her to leave a job as a massage therapist in Lawrence Park. She had never before received complaints and her children are bi-racial.

She said that for the first time the children’s books she wrote started getting bad reviews on Amazon.

Her Facebook account was cancelled and the Haverford Township Free Library wouldn’t let her do a book reading.

Remember, she is a township resident and a published author. Her books are not controversial.

This is a library that has no problem letting large, sexually confused males dress as women and read to children.

She was also was rejected for an opening on the Library Board.

Sharon has had both knees replaced and four surgeries on her legs. Doctors are afraid to do any more on her left.

“I had to learn to walk again twice,” she said.

She has a handicapped placard for her car. She walks with a brace. In winter when its icy she needs a cane.

“It’s humiliating,” she said.

Marple Battle Continues To Rage With PECO

Marple Battle Continues To Rage With PECO

By Bob Small

Marple residents have been battling PECO since November 2020 concerning the power company’s plans to build a natural gas “reliability station” in the township.  There’s been a number of twists and turns. The Marple Safety Coalition (MSC) is the group leading the opposition.

If the anti-PECO signage seen as one drives through Marple is any indication, the MSC has a great deal of support.

WHYY has extensive  coverage of this dispute.

“What’s happening now in this community is beautiful. People are really stepping up.  All of our local and regional elected officials are supporting us,” said Julie Baker of MSC.

This includes Democrat State Representative Jennifer O’Mara and State Senator Tim Kearney.

PECO hasn’t helped itself by refusing to answer expected and reasonable questions.

“It’s against PECO’s policy, and industry standards, for utilities to share the locations of their facilities,” said the company.

For the record, the facility will be a Sproul and Cedar Grove roads.

PECO is part of Exelon Corp. and not, as many think, a public utility.

And thus, not held to the standards of a public utility.

Exelon is the nation’s largest energy delivery company.

In March of 2022, the Pennsylvania Utilities Commission in March 2022 gave PECO a special exemption to the neighborhood zoning code,

“(This) reinforces a precedent that energy companies can basically do as  they please, anywhere they want, because they have the upper hand in telling the PUC what they think is reasonable and in the interests of the public,” says Greg Fat of MSC.

The MSC says the proposed gas expansion plant is not related to natural gas production but to increase in residential gas consumption,”

Only Texas produces more natural gas than Pennsylvania though this may change soon.

Meanwhile Nether Providence and Swarthmore are battling PECO to save some historic trees.

That’s only 3 of the entities in Delaware County that have current disputes with PECO.

Are there more to come?

More Signs Of Decline In Delco

More Signs Of Decline In Delco — Here are some more signs of decline in Delaware County, Pa. The below images are from SEPTA’s Route 101 Springfield Road trolley stop in Springfield taken this morning, Aug. 7.

Three days earlier we found blatant neglect at the Morton Homestead in Prospect Park.

From Wikipedia regarding Broken Windows Theory:

Under the impression that a broken window left unfixed leads to more serious problems, residents begin to change the way they see their community. In an attempt to stay safe, a cohesive community starts to fall apart, as individuals start to spend less time in communal space to avoid potential violent attacks by strangers.[1] The slow deterioration of a community, as a result of broken windows, modifies the way people behave when it comes to their communal space, which, in turn, breaks down community control. As rowdy teenagers, panhandlers, addicts, and prostitutes slowly make their way into a community, it signifies that the community cannot assert informal social control, and citizens become afraid that worse things will happen. As a result, they spend less time in the streets to avoid these subjects and feel less and less connected from their community, if the problems persist.

$778 Million Climate Bill Looming For Delco?

$778 Million Climate Bill Looming For Delco — Center for Climate Integrity says Delaware County, Pa. municipalities will have to spend $778 million by 2040 to address climate change.

The threat was made at the center’s July 25 virtual press conference and reported in the Aug. 4 The Delaware County Weekly which is the county government’s news letter.

It was attended by Delaware County Council Chairwoman Monica Taylor, Clean Air Council Executive Director Joe Minott, Resilient Analytics Director Paul Chinowsky and Sharpsburg Mayor Brittany Rendo.

Ms. Taylor has completely signed onto the scam.

“The study’s findings on the economic impact of climate change on our communities in Pennsylvania are a wakeup call,” she said. “Climate change will affect all Pennsylvania communities, and some residents more than others. We cannot afford to ignore the consequences of inaction.”

If the climate crisis was real, Barack Obama would not be living in a seaside mansion in Martha’s Vineyard and have other mansions in Washington D.C. and Hawaii. Al Gore, the Clintons and the Kerrys would not have carbon footprints 100 or 200 or 300 times average.

We would not be tolerating the coal-coated skies of China which produces twice the greenhouse gases as the United States.

The wokest states would not be ripping down hydro-electric dams.

Bruce Springsteen, however, would be performing concerts to protest the lack of nuclear power plants.

In the four years under Democrat control, Delco’s budget went from 40 pages to 421 pages, and county residents can expect a 35-percent permanent property tax hike if the Ds keep council this November.

Monica Taylor is among those up for election.

Morton Homestead Filthy Information Station — Here’s one of the information stations at the Morton Homestead off Route 420 in Prospect Park. The structure is traceable to 1698 and may be the oldest building in Pennsylvania. But really, you think someone can do something about the filthy information stations? They are all like this by the way. The photo was taken, Aug. 4.

The Delco Juvenile Offender Mystery

The Delco Juvenile Offender Mystery — Our story about last night’s United4Delco’s candidate’s forum caused a brouhaha after we reported that Delaware County’s juvenile offenders are being being incarcerated at the county’s Intermediate Unit educational facility in Aston.

Delco’s juvenile detention facility has been shuttered, after all, and the mischievous tykes have to be kept somewhere.

We have since heard that they were only been kept at the school during the day. Where do they go at night? They didn’t say.

We heard that they were being sent to juvenile facilities in Montco and Chesco. Then we heard that wasn’t true, and that Montco and Chesco weren’t taking them because, well, they were just too unruly.

Then we heard they are being shipped to Ohio.

So what does District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer say about it? He is the guy responsible, after all, and dreams of being president despite an objective lack of competence in the job he now holds.

We await his answer.

We did hear that Aston Police were being sent to the I.U. almost daily to deal with the younguns.

Gettysburg Hearing Can’t Be Used Against Trump

Gettysburg Hearing Can’t Be Used Against Trump (Corrected Version) — Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Erdos, July 31, ruled that a tweet and comments President Trump made regarding a legislative hearing on the election held in Gettysburg, Nov. 25, 2020 can’t be used against him from a defamation suit filed by former Delaware County, Pa. Voting Machine Warehouse supervisor James Savage.

Judge Erdos said Trump claim that elections in Delaware County were rigged was protected by presidential immunity.

Remaining as defendants are Rudy Giuliani, Jen Ellis and Delco poll watchers Leah Hoopes and Greg Stenstrom.

Why is this case being held in Philly? Savage was employed in and lived in Delaware County when the alleged defamation occurred, after all, and Mrs. Hoopes and Stenstrom remain Delco residents.

Gettysburg Hearing Can't Be Used Against Trump (Corrected Version)

Pennsylvania law allows plaintiffs to chose any county in the state to file their case.

Judge Erdos in a June 20 hearing in which he dismissed a bizarre request by Savage’s attorney Conor Corcoran for a protective order against Mrs. Hoopes and Stenstrom, noted that none of the various cases regarding 2020 election fraud allegations ever went before a jury and that the eyes of the world will be on Philadelphia when this case goes to trial.

Considering the indictments against Trump filed, yesterday, Aug. 1, by Special Counsel Jack Smith alleging that the President conspired to defraud the government, impede Congress and violated persons right to vote for saying the 2020 election was rigged, it seems a whole lot of cases regarding 2020 are now going to be going to trail.

Wonder if Smith considered that before filing his indictments. He was under a lot of pressure after all being as how Hunter Biden’s former business partner Devon Archer had just testified to Congress that Joe Biden listened in on his son’s business meetings and met with the corrupt mayor of Moscow’s filthy rich widow after his which his little boy got a $40 million investment.

Trump Dropped From Delco Defamation Suit

Delco Envelope Examination Ends; County Praised

Delco Envelope Examination Ends; County Praised — An examination of ballot envelopes in Delaware County, Pa. at The Wharf in Chester ended soon after noon, today, July 19.

The envelopes were from the May 16 primary election. The examination took about seven hours over two days with six stations. The examiners — all volunteers — photographed each envelope signature.

The request had been made by Delaware County Council candidate Joy Schwartz and poll watchers Greg Stenstrom, Leah Hoopes and Paul Rumley.

Stenstrom said they found no discrepancies between the 25,000 vote tally reported by the county and the number of envelopes. He thanked the county and praised the county poll workers for their cooperation and assistance.

Stenstrom said they will process the data and report back.

Mrs. Schwartz and the poll watchers made the request to examine the envelopes shortly after the election, which the county perversely fought for nearly two month taking it all the way to Commonwealth Court.

Stenstrom said the envelope images are stored on the county’s BlueCrest sorters and dozens of man-hours — including paid county labor — would have been saved if the Delco just gave them the images on a disk.

He had also made this point at the 9-hour hearing, Nov. 28, before Judge Barry Dozor.

Delaware County Concedes, Will Let Auditors See Ballot Envelope Signatures

Delaware County Concedes, Will Let Auditors See Ballot Envelope Signatures — Delaware County, Pa. has agreed to allow Republican candidates and poll watchers to count mail-in ballot envelopes from the May 16 primary election and see the signatures on them, according to Greg Stenstrom who is one of the poll watchers.

Stenstrom received an email yesterday, July 13, from county Director of Elections Jim Allen saying “the envelopes are going to be available for review unredacted.”

Stenstrom requested that the two-day audit be scheduled for the middle of next week.

Stenstrom; fellow poll watchers Leah Hoopes and Paul Rumley; and Delaware County Council candidate Joy Schwartz requested to see the envelopes shortly after the election but were stonewalled by the county.

Facing legal challenges, the county conceded but demanded that the envelope signatures be hidden. They began taping over them. This prompted the audit to be cancelled with the petitioners appealing to Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court.

Commonwealth Court is the venue for civil suits against the state.

The taping had been done after consultation with the Department of State.

Commonwealth Court Justice  Michael H. Wojcik  heard the petition, July 11. He accepted the county’s argument that his court was not the appropriate jurisdiction because the secretary of the state could not compel action.

Fulton County, we hope you are reading.

Wojcik sent the case to Delaware County Common Pleas Court.

Sometime between then and yesterday some authority in Delco took a sane pill and agreed to an unredacted audit. Pointless legal expenses will be end and, hopefully, election trust will increase.

Envelope signatures are no different than voter rolls which are obviously and necessarily public records. How one voted cannot be learned from the envelope.

Now Delco, end the stupid fights about the right-to-know requests.
