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.

Watch it here.

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.
