I picked the parts about Coatesville right away; “they're running a back-room scheme to squeeze money out of the system.” and “any candidate who refuses to answer the League of Women Voters questionnaire should be automatically disqualified”.

In 2005 no one from the “bloc of four” showed up for the League of Women Voters candidate’s forum in Coatesville. Kurt Schenk did not respond to any calls, letters or emails from the League of Women Voters. Patsy Ray, Robin Scott and Kareem Johnson called the day of the event and said they couldn’t make it.

It would not make any sense for relatively unknown candidates to miss an opportunity for public exposure. There could be only one reason. It was very obvious to me that the “bloc of four” candidates had something to hide.

It was a first for the League of Women Voters in Chester County. They were furious. They told me they were never insulted like this before.

DO SOME OF THE CANDIDATES RUNNING IN THIS ELECTION HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE:


Eric Lacerte responded to the League of Women Voters of Chester County questionnaire but did not answer the question.
