Merchant Street in Coatesville is now blocked off by police.

I am posting this for District Attorney Joe Carroll.

For some reason his comment to did not go through. It is in reference to my posting "Concerning the residency case in West Vincent Supervisor Barry DiLibero"
Married politicos share a residency problem.

There are several "anonymous" comments on that post.

Chester County District Attorney Joe Carroll:

"I didn't live in the house I bought in Coatesville when I first bought it. It had been vacant for a while and it had a lot of damage and didn't have some of the things I wanted (like running water, since thieves stole all the pipes before I bought it). At this point I live in Coatesville 7 days a week, but I can't register it as my voting address for the same reason DiLibero can't register in West Vincent. I would be happy to explain the law to you in more detail if you have the courage to identify yourself and call me: 610-344-6826."

I can think of several properties on Lincoln Hwy. But maybe they are “people of a protected class”. Coatesville PD might need the FBI for those properties.

Is there a home for homeless firefighters in Coatesville?

It may be that our paid firefighters will be needing one soon.

Commonwealth Warns City of Coatesville Administration in letter

I agree with City Councilperson Ed Simpson’s statements in this article.

I would go a further my criticism of Lehr and Walker. I believe the potential for criminal activity exists. But that is up to the USDoJ to ferret out.

We need Health Care for small companies

I have excellent health care. I am in a an excellent government run system called Medicare. My children are stuck with needing to choose whatever their employers can get.

I had worked as a dental technologist. It is a very small field and every dental laboratory is a small company there are a handful of dental laboratories with 100 employees. Most are dental laboratory companies have 3 or less employees. The work requires extensive training. The major expense of dental laboratories is health care.

Every company now competes in the world market. I believe that our lack of a unified health care system in the USA is a severe drag on our economy and keeps US companies non-competitive in the world market.
