Meaghan Wagner Pledges To Torment Rongione In Register of Wills Race — The Delaware County Republicans, last night, Feb. 24 picked Liz Piazza as their second County Council endorsement and endorsed Upper Darby Councilwoman Meaghan Wagner for register of wills.
The GOP endorsed, Feb. 18, former Upper Darby Council President Brian Burke and Chester Upland School Director Tasliym Morales for the two County Council seats up for election.
Ms. Morales, however, stepped down after a social media smear campaign implying she supported DEI and was a closet Democrat.
She addressed party leaders, last night, with a generous and passionate plea for unity. She noted that the allegations against her were false and that her day job is in jeopardy due to her opposition to DEI.
Also addressing the leaders, was activist Charlie Alexander of Marple. He had earlier sought GOP endorsement for County Council but now said he wanted the GOP to make no primary endorsements and would reject one if given him.
Charlie made several good points about governance in his statement, though. He also noted how skillful use of social media can overcome financial disparity.
Also seeking the endorsement was Sharon Devaney of Springfield. The reasons why she was running can be found here.
Sharon got the votes from the party organizations of Swarthmore, Chester and Newtown.
Ms. Wagner’s statement was a sledgehammer against Democrat incumbent Vincent A. Rongione.
Rongione had been chief administrative officer of Upper Darby until he had to resign in disgrace in 2023. Municipal bank accounts were found far lower than they should have been. Ms. Wagner says the missing money was in the millions.
Rongione was appointed to the post a year later after incumbent Rachel Ezzell Berry stepped down to take a seat on Common Pleas Court.
Ms. Wagner said he was “punished up” as Democrats often do to those caught doing wrong.
She said she will enjoying spending the months through November — figuratively — kneeing Rongione in the groin.
FTA: “and that her (Morales) day job is in jeopardy due to her opposition to DEI.”
Believe me when I say there are many so called “closeted democrats” that have an R after their name, we have a few of our own here in Aston Township. Party leadership needs to look deeply into a mirror as well. The moniker is RINO.
Sounds like Morales supports DEI if her “day job” requires her supporting it and that is her motivation for dropping out.
I’ve quit jobs for much lesser philosophical reasons. NO job is worth compromising your morals or beliefs. Period. Full stop.
At this point you are either with us or against us. No more RINOs. Are you listening yet Frank and cronies?
Demand perfection and God, in His sense of humor, will just give you Democrats
Thank goodness. This is one of your best articles yet Bill!
