Delco Feels The Pain As Tax Bills Arrive— Delaware County, Pa. residents have likely gotten this year’s county tax bill this week.
Those who have been following “student council” that has been governing us were prepared for the pain.
We hope those unaware of this quintet of clowns has been up to are royally P.O.’d and ready to fight this election year.
Well, quartet of clowns maybe as Richard Womack voted against the inflated budget and 23.8 percent tax hike.
Delaware County, your taxes are way up. But your services are way down — count the number of hospitals here compared to six years ago when the Republicans ran things — and life is a lot more expensive.
How is County Council dealing with the problem?
They’ve created a neato budget task force. Rather making the tough calls regarding services and spending, Council is trying to shift blame to a bunch of unpaid volunteers.
People please wake up.
Here’s the neato pix Delco Council put on its Facebook page of the “budget task force” that doesn’t exist yet.
Olivia Taylor Not Guilty — Olivia Taylor, the Upper Darby grandmother who spent a year of persecution for daring to point out that numerous Upper Darby council members owed tens of thousands of dollars in back taxes, has been found not guilty by Judge Dominic F. Pileggi.
The law was meant to protect churches and funerals. It’s a third degree misdemeanor.
A bench trial was Monday, Jan. 27.
District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer’s office presented its evidence which was basically video from a cop cam showing her arrest.
Her lawyer presented her evidence which was a more complete video that included what she said at her meeting, along with documents showing the council members tax delinquencies.
She said that her lawyer, Scott Sigman, told her yesterday, Jan. 30, that Pileggi called him and said that he was finding her not guilty.
She says she is planning a civil rights lawsuit against Upper Darby and yeah, her rights were violated.
Olivia says is also planning to run for Upper Darby Council.
She has our full endorsement.
Olivia Taylor with the court docket identifying her as “white”. Yeah, the idiots actually tried this.
IG Firings And Greg Stenstrom — President Trump fired 17 inspector generals, Jan. 24.

Americans live very stressful lives . We work longer hours than those in Europe and elsewhere. We watch too much mindless TV and distorted news and are not inclined to spend time outside in nature.
These are among the reasons for the stress.
Taking a walk through a park — or just around the block — with no music is a way to combat stress. Just listen to the sounds of nature. Some might find it hard at first but within a week any will become accustomed to it.
Another way to relieve the racing mind is reading a old fashioned hardback book. Just turning the pages is theraputic. A trip to the library or the bookstore is a must.
Lavender sprays or lavender oils in a diffuser is helpful after a long day. Peppermint and eucalyptus is great when weary or experiencing headaches.The oil can also be dabbed on the pulse points.
Tea in the afternoon or evening is also helpful. Chamomile is wonderful for de-stressing and Lavender teas are calming. Echinacea is helping when feeling sick and turmeric is helpful for pain and swelling. The ritual of taking time to sip tea daily is like a meditation.
Sweeten the tea with local honey. This can bought at farmer’s markets, such as Booth’s Corner in Bethel; and health food stores like Martindale’s in Springfield or Mom’s in Bryn Mawr.
Local honey is important as it helps with allergies caused by local plants.
It’s the little moments that combat stress that have been forced out of America. Working and playing 24/7 is not how to live and don’t forget the playing is usually for someone else’s profit.
