  2. The Media Boro Tyranny continues. Allegations of alleged "retaliation" by this council, let alone should they be found guilty, will have people motivated for change.

    Disgraceful!

  4. Media borough employees a grant writer
    What does this person do day to day
    Why couldn't she apply for the 650 k grant
    As Brian Hall would say governor wolf and media borough should have commonality of interests last please have them look at what media borough paid Brian hall for his contempt of court award

  5. This is the same group of council members who think the borough should charge residents for a 5 gallon bucket to compost food scraps when you can do it in your backyard for free there priorities are obviously not in order I hope the lawsuit clearly lays out what media borough has been spending of taxpayer money to stop the project

  6. This is why term limits are necessary for the mayororial position in media borough
    This agenda of stopping the 3rd street bridge project has gone on too long
    And at what price tag to media taxpayers?

  7. So maybe, just maybe, the unscrupulous tactics and corrupt politics of this council (and councils gone before) will finally be accountable for their actions! Between the zoning and refusing to move forward with the bridge (since 2011!!!) it is very clear that council is intentionally haranguing the owners of this privately owned land. Didn't our forefathers grant rights against the taking of the land by the government? This is as clear an illustration as I've ever seen of misplaced and egregious overreach of power by our elected officials. The residents of Media (and Upper Prov!) deserve better.

  11. Is their Solicitor going to represent Media in this matter? Is he spread a little thin with his other duties at other numerous municipalities throughout Delco?

  12. FOIA their emails. I think only two of them use borough council emails exclusively. Imagine the stuff you might find out on them. Unless they bring in Hillary's goons and they whitewash them all

  13. Residents take note when you deal with the borough in any capacity The arrogance is always on display especially if your an average joe and work for a living the pocket park meeting was just one of many examples where Brian Hall threatened to have the police remove a resident, The resident got no notification of the meeting that could and will directly effect the value of his property

  14. This is where media borough focuses an inordinate amount of time and resources
    So past and present council and mayors can
    Have a park like setting if the borough got the grant, what additional monies would borough taxpayers be responsible for to return this to a two way street ?
    How much money has the borough of media
    Spent on lawyers and engineers to tell there side of the story ?

    ReplyDelete
  15. To date Media has spent over 500 thousand..........

    1. Wow we could have two more pocket parks for 500 k
      What did the borough spend on the olive street garage repairs ?

  16. Between the grant and the amount of money media borough spent to stop the project reported as 500 k they're just 800,000 short
    If you want BLCC to buck up some money the borough certainly isn't helping things by
    Rezoning BLCC property

    1. Hey Anon 2:56, you must not be on boro council because you are a financially educated person. The re-zone on the BLCC property reduces the value significantly, so they can't afford to buck up. But council is too blind to see the forest for the trees (no pun intended)

    2. The borough of media council, the borough manager, code enforcement are a very problematic bunch that don't seem to exercise any amount of equity to residents, businesses, or there own rule of local regulations

  17. Great job media borough you sure know how to build goodwill among all of media that doesn't live near 3rd street, West Street
    And Parks Edge keep spending the rest of media's tax dollars on obstructing this project

  18. I think it would be appropriate to ask media borough to remove any signs with the media borough symbol on them at the 3rd street dam / bridge project

  19. Media Borigh really does have a problem on their hands they have set a precedent that you can do what you want if your on the right team but get stonewalled if your not
    It's quite evident in the residential and commercial development going on in media
    Media Borough gov't needs a good housecleaning at all levels
