There is so much good stuff happening in Coatesville that it’s becoming hard to keep track of

Less talk more work – North Chester Ave Underpass

Oops my memory gets a little foggy as I get older.

I wrote that Judge Riley that allowed some of the 32 lawsuits concerning Coatesville and the Saha "farm" to sit on his desk for nearly 2 years before acting on them. I was wrong.

It was not Judge Riley who allegedly let many of lawsuits against Coatesville "taking" the Saha "Farm" and related to Coatesville “taking” the Saha “farm” sit on his desk. 

It was Judge Mahon's desk that they allegedly sat on.

I stand by the rest of the post.

Hmmm, Riley, Riley, Judge Riley;

Hmmm, Riley, Riley, Judge Riley;

O ya, He was the Judge that allowed some of the 32 lawsuits concerning Coatesville and the Saha "farm" to sit on his desk for nearly 2 years before acting on them. You know, the lawsuits the City of Coatesville was forced to defend itself against at enormous costs to taxpayers like me. If the City had not defended itself we might have been forced to pay up even more money out of our Water Company Trust find.

I thought the extremist right wing Teabagger Libertarian  "starve the beast" stuff referred to our Federal Government only. I wouldn't have believed the Libertarians, at least some of them, meant all government until I saw them in action in Coatesville. But then most Libertarians don't even know who Larry Pratt is either and are not ardent followers of the gun/militia movement he allegedly helped to create in the USA. 

Coatesville won all of the lawsuits. I believe most of them had no merit at all and should have been dismissed immediately.

carroll: retry 3 for rape at dorm

By MICHAEL P. RELLAHAN, Staff Writer

Did anyone see the "Pat Sellers for Governor" sign on Rt. 30 near the Coatesville exit?

Does anyone think that Representative Tim Hennessey’s Business Manager’s crack trial will be held after November 2, 2010?

Lisa Johnson now has a team of lawyers; Thomas Gerald Bellwoar Jr., Esq. and Mr. Evan Kelly, Esq., the “co-counsel for the defendant”. As I said before we all knew that O. J. Simpson could pay his attorneys with his own money. How is Johnson paying her attorneys? As far as I know there are no gloves for Lisa Johnson or her alleged partner in the alleged crimes John Tinson to try on.

 According to the court documents John Tinson still lives in Coatesville but Lisa Johnson evidently moved to Thorndale.

 The next event in Lisa Johnson’s trial is a Pre-Trial Discovery Hearing on 07/20/2010 9:30 a.m. Courtroom 12 at the Chester County Justice Center. The Honorable Judge Anthony A. Sarcione is presiding.

 Lisa Johnson’s and John Tinson’s trials are related. They are both scheduled for the session commencing August 16, 2010. John Tinson is represented by Christian J. Hoey, Esq.

“I’d love to see us some way, somehow start with the (curfew) sirens again”, Ed Simpson

Below you will find the Council Comments from Monday evenings (July 12, 2010) Coatesville City Council meeting.

Some people consider it a civic duty to attend City Council meetings and go to nearly every meeting. There were some people “new people” at that Coatesville City Council meeting.  Right now, if you want to be heard the Coatesville City Council meetings are the place to go. The Coatesville City Council will hear you.

All the City Council members had good closing comments. I thought that City Council President Ed Simpson succinctly spoke to the concerns about the curfew with his comment.

“We all need take a good look in the mirror and say are we all doing the right thing. As long as we’re doing the right thing maybe we need to pass it along to everybody else when we see somebody not...

It is the Police Department’s responsibility to police them. But, they can’t be everywhere at once… If the parents aren’t doing their job, maybe as citizens we need to help them out and call the Police Department, just to make them aware where the problems are...

The Police Department will be more than happy to help us, to help you with that problem. Chief Canale and his department as far as I’m concerned is one of the best departments, the best department in the County. They certainly are the busiest. So, let’s keep them busier.”-Coatesville City Council President Ed Simpson. 

Hear all the “Council Comments” at the July 12, 2010 Coatesville City Council meeting here:

I actually liked PA-AG Tom Corbett at one time.

Then he started to go after his political enemies and Democrats in a very obvious way. I think he didn’t even try hiding using the office of Attorney General to go after his political enemies. He then tried to use the Attorney General’s office to attack Twitter of all things.


Sometimes arrogant people can still be good public servants. However, I believe there is a kind of threshold in public service for arrogant people. At some point a spirit of humility is required to move up the latter in public service.


Arrogance is one thing, stupidity and arrogance is another.


Combining stupidity, arrogance and catering to the Conservative Republican Teabagger Alice in Wonderland ideology can and does ruin you politically statewide in Pennsylvania.


I think Tom Corbett has reached his end of the line in politics. He just doesn’t have what it takes to be in the Statewide or National political arena. 


This is a gem of an example of how to end your political career in Pennsylvania by catering to extremist views in a mostly liberal state:

Cleaning the Chester Avenue Bridge Saturday on Coatesville Impact Days

Harvel Brown of the Coatesville Weed and Seed Committee wants to clean up the Chester Avenue Bridge.


Mr. Brown linked with the Chester County Adult Probation Office. He volunteered to oversee some of the community service work that the Court has ordered for some individuals and use those individuals to help clean up our City.


The Chester Avenue Bridge is the Amtrak Bridge that links Merchant Street with Coates Street in Coatesville. Mr. Brown said there is a thick coating of pigeon droppings on the bridge. Mr. Brown asked the Coatesville City Council if the Fire Department could pressure wash the walls of the Chester Avenue Bridge.


Mr. Brown said the large amount of pigeon droppings under the bridge are a health hazard for Coatesville residents walking under the bridge.
Chief Kevin Johnson said the environmental hazard from the pigeon droppings will need to be considered in the clean up.


Harvel also mentioned the hazard of putting out trash too many days ahead of pick up day in hot weather.


Mr. Brown’s efforts are part of the Cleanup efforts on Coatesville Impact Day of July 17th this Saturday. He would like to see the Fire Department pressure wash the Chester Avenue Bridge on Saturday July 17, 2010 if possible.
