Are Developers like Bart Blatstein still interested in Coatesville?

At a Coatesville Planning Commission meeting; Ray Iacobucci told us that Baker Properties was pushing them to have final approval for their development in 1995 before the ‘Bloc of Four” took over. Iacobucci had a 6 person team working on their development on the north hill of Coatesville. It received final approval by Coatesville City Council on December 28th of 2005. Mr. Iacobucci allegedly was told that if they did not have final approval before the “bloc” took over Baker would take a $2M loss and leave Coatesville.

Chetty was stuck. He already had $6M invested in Coatesville and was forced to stay. Don Pulver’s hotel was needed in the hotel market regardless of how close it was to Coatesville, so it could go forward.

The “Bloc of Four” and the Walker Administration is the primary reason redevelopment crashed and burned in Coatesville. I believe stopping the redevelopment was the reason the some of the “bloc of four’s” handlers put them in office. The gas fired power plant was allegedly in the planning stages in alleged meetings at the Whip Tavern before the election of the “bloc”. The real money would have been in the “Power Authority” that would sell power over Exelon’s lines. Richard Legree was alleged to say “Patsy may be dumb and crazy but she takes orders”. But that’s another story that involves the drug business in Coatesville.

It is my understanding that if a developer did have some interest in Coatesville; when they saw Patsy Ray in person all interest in developing in Coatesville allegedly vanished.

Now that we have a government that’s interested in moving the City forward instead of praying, building power plants and cutting back on police and fire protection; Bart Blatstein might be interested. The only thing is; the commercial loans have dried up and commercial lending may be nowhere near bottom yet.

Oilmen and drug traffickers

Iran is a gangster, organized crime government. Bribes and payoffs from oil revenue keep it going and religion is reduced to a shield the gangsters hide behind. If the men in the oil refineries in Iran go on strike the government will not be able to pay its thugs and assassins and the government will fall.

If we in the United States were to adopt a program to raise gasoline taxes so that gas and diesel fuel was permanently set at above $6 per gallon the gangster run and operated governments of Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Russia and others would collapse.

The money from oilmen corrupts governments and people much the same as the money from heroin does. We have seen it personified as W and Cheney’s oilmen thugs in the Whitehouse and their use of religion here as a shield to hide their corrupt plans for an oil empire. Something similar and many times more violent and oppressive is repeated in other countries. Oil companies and oilmen in them have a lot in common with illegal drug producers and traffickers.

FERC Approves AES LNG Terminal In Baltimore
A five-member Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) panel voted 4-1 to approve Virginia-based AES Corporation's proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the site of the former Sparrows Point shipyard in eastern Baltimore County. The proposal also includes construction of an 88-mile pipeline to Pennsylvania for the former Bethlehem Steel site [later Mittal Steel and now Severstal (Russian-owned)]. The approval of the $400 million project came at the urging of organized labor groups eager for hundreds of jobs. It was opposed by community associations and nearly every elected official in the area.
