Kathy Hopton won a seat as ‘At Large’ Coatesville City Council member.

Kathy Hopton resigned last week. Allegedly she can’t handle the “stress.” 

I think the “stress” is Lavender, Green & Bookman. 

Linda Lavender Norris seems to believe she’s the “Queen of Coatesville” & tries to micro-manage city government.

A few months ago city employees allegedly told Coatesville City Manager Mike Trio they would resign en masse unless he did something to keep Linda Lavender Norris out of their daily work routine.
