Councilman’s Tax Debt Looks Especially Ugly After Theft Of Gaynor Home –We haven’t posted Delaware County (Pa.) Council stories in a while but Tevin Dix is picking up the mantle.
He put some video snippets of the Jan. 7 meeting on Facebook.
One concerns a Clifton Heights man whose property at 32 Mill St. was tapped for demolition by the county. It was over his objections and without any discussion.
The fellow said that he had the funds to rehabilitate the property but the county took that money during a domestic relations matter.
We’ll note that Delco’s Domestic Relations Department is a living, breathing daily scandal and has become the subject of protests outside the courthouse with one scheduled for noon, today, Jan. 12.
Tevin also posted comments by Charles Alexander of Marple concerning Councilman Richard Womack.
Alexander says Womack owes $15,000 in back taxes on two properties.
We like Womack. We think he is the only one on Council that might have a soul.
And we certainly understand how easy it is for people to fall on tough times and need to be cut slack.
The problem is that a 91-year-old Upper Darby woman named Gloria Gaynor lost her home due to a $3,500 tax debt caused by confusion during the Covid shut down.
This is theft.
Delco let it happen and Womack has been silent about it.
Silence is violence, right?
The Delco Republicans have also been silent about it, by the way.

The Postman No Longer Delivers In Denmark
By Bob Small
PostNord, Denmark’s 400-year-old national postal authority, delivered its final letter, on Dec. 30.
PostNord reported an operating deficit of 428 million Krone ($67,153,200 in US dollars).
The amount of letters has decreaseds by 90 percent since 2000. Since Danish Law mandates that citizens must be able to send and receive letters, a company called DAO is available, though one has to use their stamps.
Germany’s Deutsche Post scrapped its 60-year-old  next-day air mail delivery service last year and is currently laying off thousands of workers. Poland’s Poczta Polska is similarly slashing thousands of jobs in a bid to reduce losses.
The decrease in physical letters can be traced to the computer. According to PostNord, physical letters have declined from almost 1.5 billion (2000) to only 110 million (2024). Additionally, “Since 2014, all public sector communiques, including those from banks, insurance companies, and pension companies, must by law be sent digitally. “
PostNord has been a joint operation since 2009, when the Danish and Swedish services merged.
It should be noted that around 1,500 jobs are estimated to be lost. Meanwhile, DAO expects growth, from young adults 18 to 34, who are rediscovering physical missives.
Meanwhile in Great Britain, the Royal Mail is ending Saturday deliveries of second-class mail and daily deliveries to be reduced to either two or three times a week. Royal Mail, by the way, is now owned by Czech Billionaire Daniel Kretinsky. The parcel services will continue, for now, but they’re now on a time clock.
“The final letter sent by PostNord is now on display at Denmark’s Enigma Museum, commemorating the historic shift in how the nation communicates. “
In the US, mail has dropped 80 percent since 1997.

Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit puzzle: The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
