Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

If you don’t vote tomorrow, don’t complain about your local government.


Most of the really lousy local government officials we have had were elected by a very, very small number of votes. Sometimes local elections are decided by 1 or 2 votes.  
If you have a lousy local government it’s most likely due to voter apathy.

Why do you think a guy like Pat Sellers wanted Patsy Ray in office?


When Patsy Ray won in the 2005 Coatesville City Council elections Pat Sellers giggled as he said he didn't think she could win. It was plain to me that Sellers was very pleased she did win.

 

But why would someone who reads the American Renaissance (July 2000, see page 2) help to elect Patsy Ray? Warning have a barf bag handy if you read the rest of the issue. 

 

"American Renaissance  
Profiled Leadership:  
 Jared Taylor 
Ideology:  
 White Nationalist 
Founded by Jared Taylor in 1990, the New Century Foundation is a self-styled think tank that promotes pseudo-scientific studies and research that purport to show the inferiority of blacks to whites — although in hifalutin language that avoids open racial slurs and attempts to portray itself as serious scholarship. It is best known for its American Renaissance magazine and website, which regularly feature proponents of eugenics and blatant anti-black racists. The foundation also sponsors American Renaissance conferences every other year where racist "intellectuals" rub shoulders with Klansmen, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists."

Every Black person in Coatesville should think about why someone who reads American Renaissance was overjoyed to have Patsy Ray in office.

She is running for office again:

Could “Create Jobs for USA” include Coatesville?


I believe that someone or some business here, possibly the City of Coatesville itself, could find financial assistance in one of the organizations in the Opportunity Finance Network.

"Starbucks Hopes To Kick-Start Job Creation 
By Wendy Kaufman

Morning Edition 
Starbucks is teaming up with a network of community-based financial institutions to help create jobs. Beginning Tuesday anyone can make a tax-deductable contribution at a Starbucks store or online to the Create Jobs for USA Fund. The money will go to companies so they can hire or retain American workers.Mark Pinsky heads the Opportunity Finance Network, a group of about 180 mostly nonprofit lenders that work in underserved communities where credit is often hard to get. Over the past couple of years, Pinsky chatted informally with individuals at Starbucks about ways they might collaborate, but he certainly wasn't expecting the communiqué he got from the company a couple of months ago. 
'I got an email late one Monday night saying we are thinking of doing something, can we talk tomorrow morning?" Pinsky recalls. "We talked on Tuesday and by Wednesday we basically had a handshake deal."
