Chester politics is getting sloppy

L-R: The missing councilman and the beleaguered mayor

Who would have thought that in less than a year as mayor, John Linder would lose his grip on Chester politics?

When he and his city council comrades were overwhelmingly elected to office in November, the voters finally got the change they were seeking for so long. 

But, it seems the business minded and cohesive republicans have been replaced by aimless and devisive democrats.

It took no time for city hall to be cleared out of former loyalist and replaced with plenty of new loyalist. But, from what we see happening in city hall, many are beginning to wonder how loyal the new crew really is. Or, maybe the question is, to whom is the new crew loyal to?

The Deputy Mayor hasn't appeared at 3 of the last 4 council meetings, rendering no votes on important issues. The police chief seems to be on his way out. The CEDA executive director is out and is not welcome back in. City council members have swapped responsibilities. The assistant city planner is a goner, and the department of recreation may be in for a shake up. Let's not forgot that the school board has a lot less on their plate now that the state is taking over.

I'm certain there are plenty of you still insisting that the Mayor just needs a little more time to get things together. In my opinion, if he doesn't get it together soon, his entire administration is going to get hijacked.

If Chester can't do business with itself, I find it unlikely that any outside interest would be attracted in doing business with us either. 

As long as these sloppy politics continue, Chester will stagnate and risk losing any momentum toward growth and improvement.

    1. Kirland was not elected to be Mayor of the city of Chester. Thank God for that because he cant even do his job as State Representative. Give Mayor linder a chance and vote Kirklnd out in november and keep him out.

  2. I could not have said it better if I tried. I actually gave them more credit, I knew they would fall apart at the seams but I am taken aback that it happened so soon. Hopefully the voters will see that you need qualified professionals to run a city especially one with Chester's issues. I will say kudos to Council for their decision to try and rid the city of, let me get it right "Commisioner Bail". He's more concerned with Terrorism and mass murderers, maybe he would be a better fit as a Profiler, maybe not. Anywho.....so.....basically, Linder is nothing more than a figure head, and where the heck is Councilman Nichols, dude, you have to pick a side. Well, the Daily Slim will have something to write about, who knows, maybe we'll forget about the senseless murders. I can only assume Mayor that it doesnt feel so good to have your people fired, was the building filled with Cops escorting the two fired employees off the premises? In addition, Council made it clear that Mr. White cant consult, cant work for free, cant stand in the lobby, cant use the stairwell, cant use city hall restrooms. Did anybody see his credentials (I'm being serious now). If he worked for the Obama administration, why is he no longer there?

    1. Can someone tell me what the problem is with an experienced person wanting to VOLUNTEER to help the city? This can only help the city. The number one problem is that it wasnt a member of Thaddeus Kirklands inner cirlce of friends. By the way Thaddeus Kirlands friends were hired when the republicans were ousted at considerable pay raises.

  3. This is the worst city government I have seen in my 60 years of living in the city. How the H--L can the "Mayor" lose in votes on important decisions.

  6. A bunch of darn nincompoops. The Mayor lost Village Charter under his control did we expect more. Oh yes a change, well we got it. Since the marriage between Linder and Thad seem to be on the brink of divorce and Nichols doesn't want to pick sides by not showing up during important voting meetings, where does that leave our City? Can this be fixed?

  11. I stood out there with Mayor Linder campaigning and wondering how we could have black republicans in Chester and now I see. If I knew what I know now I would have help out Mr. Garner. Republicans you have my vote in Chester, but not in Washington. Lol

    1. Exactly, those of us who are Republicans are so locally. The key is understanding the process and knowing how to split your vote. In the last 16 years while the Republicans were in control, Chester experienced a surge in economic growth and was no longer the laughing stock of Delaware County, we became competitive and an asset not a liability to the County. Barely 8 months in and it looks like we have taken several steps back. I didn't respect Linder from the start because I knew he could not deliver the change that he campaigned on and would be incapable of surrounding himself with credible and qualified folks. Kirkland punked him plain and simple. As far as Nicols is concerned, you were elected to this process and its time you show up, how many conferences can you attend on taxpayer dollars. Is the Health Commissioner your relative, if so, I wonder if shes on the "Linder List". I was wondering what qualifies one to be a Health Commisioner, correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't you have a medical background? Dr. Shaikh was a real medical doctor. Anywho......I'm just saying....

    2. How can a city of our size have a Heath Comminisor that is not a doctor nor any major experience. Must be related. What about the Director of Lead she doesn't have a degree and they don't do anything but have a walk.

  16. Police Commissioner Joe Bail also needs to be investigated under the Pennsylvania State Ethics Act which states in part as follows:

    (f) Contract.–No public official or public employee or his spouse or child or any business in which the person or his spouse or child is associated shall enter into any contract valued at $500 or more with the governmental body with which the public official or public employee is associated or any subcontract valued at $500 or more with any person who has been awarded a contract with the governmental body with which the public official or public employee is associated, unless the contract has been awarded through an open and public process, including prior public notice and subsequent public disclosure of all proposals considered and contracts awarded. In such a case, the public official or public employee shall not have any supervisory or overall responsibility for the implementation or administration of the contract. Any contract or subcontract made in violation of this subsection shall be voidable by a court of competent jurisdiction if the suit is commenced within 90 days of the making of the contract or subcontract.

    Joe Bail consults with John Giduck over at Archangel Group. It's even listed on his official Chester City bio online and they've co-authored books together. John Giduck claims to be consulting for the Chester City Police Department. Here is what is on the "About" page of John Giduck's personal blog

    In January 2012 he [John Giduck] was hired to assist in creating the international intelligence section of the Narcotics & Intelligence Unit of the City of Chester (PA) Police Department and also serves as a training coordinator.

    Seriously, Chester needs to report these activities to the PA state ethics commission.

  17. The comments are hilarious! Stefan, I think you should do an interview with the members of City Council and the Mayor and get to the bottom of what's REALLY going on. My guess is we are on the outside looking in and don't know what's really happening on the inside. Can't get more transparent than this...good job Council get rid of the racist, free loaders and incompetent. About time someone pulled back the sheets and uncovered the truth, guess people started showing their true colors. Ya'll gone learn today! (In my Kevin Hart voice)

  18. City Council is off the chain. They are disrespecting our Mayor. They were elected to serve and help the mayor to better our city. However, it appears they are trying to run the city on their own accord which is not saying much. So when all these ousted persons are gone, who will be the replacements? I have a feeling that there is a hidden agenda. Ms Liz and Ms Portia have been trying to get into City Hall for years, now I see why they were never allowed in, just a bunch of sharks along with piranha Jacobs. Ms Liz, what has happened to Sunday Jazz, bring it back! People work during the week, while Ali Hackett is doing a good job, look at the turnouts. Duhh. City Council get it together!!!!!!

    6. First, the Commissioner for Burns & Head of Delegation (CFB-HOD) is an appointed individual, who works on behalf of the People of the Member States to the UN. The CFB-HOD also works for the Public Safety Community, in making sure they have the overall resources required to do their job and return home safe at the end of the day, to their families.

      Secondly, the CFB-HOD is a person who advocates for “those” whom are voiceless in their ability to live within a society that judges on the basis of race, sex, national origin or on the basis of being different.

      As required by the policies of the Office of the Commissioner for Burns, an IGO and the requirements of the Member States.

      Thirdly, the CFB-HOD came to the City of Chester, to assist the Public Safety Community, after receiving numerous requests for Foreign Aid and various complaints from the Citizens of that City, on the lack of Public Safety Assistance in the areas of Fire & Burn Prevention, Public Outreach, Smoke Detector, and other issues- relating to Firefighter Injuries and/or deaths.

      Delete
    7. Fourthly, The CFB-HOD was warned by “others” within this Administration to stay away from the City of Chester, Pennsylvania because of the People & the City having a Bad-Name. However, the CFB-HOD did not want to believe a City & its People can be so bad- that no one could benefit from a Helping Hand!

      He didn’t want to believe that People could be so evil, that they should be permitted to be become rancid- because of the Community, they (The People) reside.

      Fifthly, the CFB-HOD was given the use of the Fire Commissioner’s Office, out of respect and not a form of payment. If the shoe was on the other foot, the same courtesy would have been extended to Commissioner Johnson.

      The Current Situation,

      On July 30th 2012, a day, which will remain in our Administration’s minds forever, changed the official opinion of the CFB-HOD and the O.C.B Administration’s positive outlook for the City of Chester, Pennsylvania. On this day, evil & hatred presented itself to this Administration & the Citizens of the City of Chester, by the unfair treatment of person who did nothing but try to assist a City drowning at its own hand and a Public Safety Community, another victim of the City of Chester, Pennsylvania Politics.

      Delete
    8. The CFB-HOD was violated in such away; it’s unbelievable that racism can & do still play a role in America’s Everyday Life and/or Culture. To be treated in the manner his was, is true slap in the face – to this Administration, the People it Representatives, and the Ideas of the International Community, in addition, the Men & Women who have died giving “Their All” for the safety of others. Not forgetting “Their Families” and the Memories of those Wonderful Citizens.
      People saw a black-man wearing a uniform, they didn’t feel he deserved to have, wear, or was entitled. However, the CFB-HOD Uniform was assigned to him, to help in the delivery of his obligations to you, the everyday Citizen. The uniform wasn’t designed by the Member States to defraud people; it was designed to give hope to individuals, who was told they would be nothing in life, to offer encouragement in the face of discrimination.
      The CFB-HOD is an educated individual, who was raped at the age of 9 and severely burned at the age of 10- by his aunt, and her boyfriend- who was and still a Philadelphia Police Officer today, but despite the aforementioned. The CFB-HOD is an individual who wanted to give back, because he received so much, as child growing up with a wonderful Adoptive Mother, named Mrs. McGeer.

      The true dream of the CFB-HOD was to be a Pastry Chef, and not a sitting Commissioner with great responsibility. He put this dream aside to take on a responsibility of providing assistance to those with Disabilities & assisting on a Disability Treaty, after successfully co-writing to Articles (7 Children with Disabilities & 8 Raising Awareness for People with Disabilities) he was offered this Commission by the Member States.

      If you leave it to certain individuals, they would have you believe that the Office of Commissioner for Burns, an IGO was started by this individual who is the CFB-HOD. But they are truly uneducated in this area of International Law.
      An Intergovernmental Organization, cannot be started by one person alone, unlike a Public Charity, it takes the motion of 3 Member States to voice their sincere opinion, in the beliefs of design and/or creation. Once those 3 Member States, by the way, are countries, then other Member States have to join-in in spreading their wishes and beliefs of the positive.
      Basically, it’s like running for Public Office, except- it is at the International Level (not local).

      Have you heard of USAID, UNICEF, World Health Organization (WHO) World Food Program (WFP) United Nations Women, (UNW) Organization of American States (OAS) the Vatican (Holy See), these groups all serve as, Intergovernmental Organizations, because instead of General Members, they have Countries, who makes up their overall Membership Base.

    9. Now, the CFB-HOD did start the United States Burn Support Organization, in November of 2004, he was in St. Christopher’s Hospital for a 5 month stay, because of a nasty infection he received while at the Burn Camp in VA during that summer month of August ’04. The CFB-HOD wanted to talk with other people who were burned- like himself. But no one was there- the hospital told him, if he wanted something like that, he would have to start his own support group-
      So after talking with his friends, the nurses and social work- he decided to give it a go; on November 16th 2004- he brought the name of the United States Burn Support Organization, for $75.00 and on the 17th of November ’04 he incorporated with the PA Department of State for $125.00 Non-Profit Incorporation and the following month of December ’04 he filed for the Tax Exemption, which cost $150.00 and another $125.00 for amended Articles Incorporation.
      Because the American IRS wants you to comply with this statement and it has to show within your bylaws, “We agree to take an active part in the decision making as directors. As a board we will, as appropriate, approve contracts, agreements for services and budgets. We agree that the organization’s board will be controlled by unrelated and uncompensated individuals. In addition, the compensated individuals cannot vote on their own compensation and that compensation decisions will be made by the board.”

    10. During the Month of January 2005, somewhere is China an apartment building was permitted to burn to the ground with a lot of people trapped; their Fire Services Units was ordered to “stand down” listening to the screams of the people and watching the horrific images of people burning alive”
      The UN Executive Committee reached out to the United States Burn Support Organization, to assist on this Disability Treaty (Convention) and it was pure luck that the UN founded the U.S Burn Support Organization, as it only been around for less than 30 complete days. It was thanks to a family, from St. Christopher’s Hospital who had a son, suffering from “CF” a disease I wouldn’t wish on my worst foe- it’s a disease that basically drowns you, in your own fluids and/or mucus. You don’t live pass 21 of age.
      The child’s parents was talking with the nurses and they nurses of 4 North, informed them of what the CFB-HOD had in-mind and they donated a website to him. And to this day, still pays for the Hosting and up-keeping of the USBURN.ORG.
      You see, people view the CFB-HOD as a scam and if you knew him, and needed food, money, clothing and/or housing or even an education, he would go the extra mile to make sure you had what was required by you. So that you could thrive in this society, they call the United States of America.
      But because of race, and his disability, “the burns”, people begrudge, instead of respecting- this is mostly from Cops & Firefighters, who would prove to benefit the most, if they needed assistance, as a Public Safety Agency, or as Individuals Injured in the Line of Duty, or if they was killed in the Line of Duty, their families would prove to benefit the most.
      However, people don’t think that way, all they see is a 6’1 overweight Black “N---er” who is what evil people call a “Crispy Critter” and it’s a true shame, the City of Chester & her Citizens will suffer the most; including, its Fire & Police Departments- not because of lawsuits, but because- here was a person who wanted nothing back in return, but he expected the Public Safety Agencies to benefit from the helping hand & then the overall Citizens.

      Delete
    11. The CFB-HOD did not care about race, when others within the Administration did, he didn’t care about the Politics, when other in the Administration did! He just wanted to make sure the People of City of Chester, Pennsylvania had all of the resources required and that he upheld his Oath of Office and the overall image of the Office of the Commissioner for Burns, an IGO, the Member States and the UN itself.

      The CFB-HOD and the Office of the Commissioner for Burns, an IGO, the Member States, and those alike cannot and will not forget what happened on July 30th 2012 on the Footsteps of the City of Chester Fire Department or at their Police Station. The aforementioned will not forget about the lies being told this very moment within both agencies and around the Public Safety Community, because of this designated “Hate Crime” by City Representatives.

      If people are interested in the TRUTH, then send them to www.theocbadmin.org OR www.offun.us where they can see for themselves, the kind of work- this Commissioner does for the Common Person, without any self-promotion. His actions, will speak for themselves………

    14. The Office of the Commissioner for Burns, an IGO - you sir are out of your everloving mind. If you're so sanctioned and supported and wanted - riddle me this. (1) Why were you chased out of Philly? (2) Why were you chased out of Lincoln VFD? (3) Why haven't you been back "protecting" the people since JJ has been in hiding? (4) What happened to the $98,000 of smoke detectors you allegedly "donated" to the city?

      I truly am sorry for what happened to you as a child, but to play on your race and injuries as a means to swindle others makes you no better than the cockroaches on the street. And to further insult the CFD as racist and non-effective completely blows my mind!! The men of the CFD are on call 24/7 for the citizens of the city of Chester. And they answer EVERY SINGLE CALL - whether it's a repeat offendor or not. Whether it's a false alarm or 3-alarm blaze. These men are there in all manner of weather and political infighting. No matter who is elected into office, the men of the CFD will be there every 4 years. They continue to answer calls despite the fact that they've been working WITHOUT a contract for years. So for you to completely insult them with your bizarre ramblings shows what a worthless piece of flesh you are.

      My only hope is that the DCID is finally able to nail you for your scams!

    15. Mr. Mendelson you truly are a joke. I’d like to discuss your post and its implications, if you don’t feel threatened that is. Since most of what you said is vague and non-specific, I’d like clarifications on a few things. Again, only if you don’t feel too threatened of course.

      MDA, as signed by CCFD Commissioner, 22 February 2012. Are you implying that the Chester City Fire Department (which is CFD by the way) commission Jimmy Johnson (who seems to be laying low right now) made the CFB-HOD a special member of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) or maybe he passed a memo around saying the CBS-NBC could be the head of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) boot drive?

      Violation of the International Protected Person Act S/1832 – there are approximately 115 chapters and over 6,000 sections to 18 U.S.C. 112 - PROTECTION OF FOREIGN OFFICIALS, OFFICIAL GUESTS, AND INTERNATIONALLY PROTECTED PERSONS.

      Please do share exactly what threats were made by Anonymous to the PTA-DAT and tell us what section would detail that, or heck, point me to the chapter and I can find it myself! We are after all intelligent people here correct?

      Violation of the Hat Crime Act of 1985? Really? Would that be the Cat in the Hat crime against the Loraxes? Seriously, if you’re going to threaten people who have every right to post whatever they want on the internet when it is NOT a threat, at least use grammar check or have someone review your posts first.

      I could continue but honestly you and your MIA-TXT are not worth the effort. Stop speaking in acronyms as a way to threaten people into backing down. The RCA-NBA has been hanging around the city of Chester much in the way he hung around the city of Philly – without invite, cause or warning.

      I don’t know what his game is, or what yours is and I really don’t care. I’m glad he’s gone but feel bad for the next group of people he snows. Hopefully the CID will be able to stop his grandiose schemes.

    16. Office of the CFB: This blog is not the way to address the issues you had with the police and fire department. With the exception of the police officers and firefighters familiar with you, nobody else has any clue who the "Commissioner for Burns" is. Airing your complaints in a public forum and calling the treatment you received by the police or firefighters as being anything less than respectful is wrong. Up until the day you point out, I can recall several lunches and dinners that you enjoyed in the firehouse kitchen, as well as several hours of you sitting in the Engine Bay with some of the other firefighters having conversation.
      Since the firefighters, police, and yourself and "staff" are the only ones on this blog right now that understand your rant, let me say this directly to you... What you gave us has been taken back, things you promised us never materialized, a polo shirt from Wal-Mart with a five star pin on it and a pair of khakis with a badge on your belt hardly qualifies as a "uniform", and that day you speak of that you will remember forever was handled by the members of the police department professionally on the front apron. If you want to call out anyone on this blog and threaten them with all kinds of hyped up nonsense, we can throw that right back at you. How dare you come on a public forum and call us racists, unprofessional, discriminatory, etc. etc. Also, as a white firefighter, people reading this blog and your accusation that we looked at you as a "Ni****" paints us in a light that is absolutely untrue. There will never be a day when a fire truck pulls up to a citizens house and looks at the color of their skin. We treat all the citizens with respect all the time, and there is no tolerance for racism.
      There was no hate crime that day. Based on the information they had, they acted accordingly. If you were any kind of "man" (welcome to the big men table, so you say) you would address the members of the fire department and police department directly, or at least keep your comments to yourself while you pursue legal avenues. Until then, if you decide to come on here and talk trash, don't think people like myself will sit back and let you tarnish my brothers reputations.
      Ps... Section 13862 SS H 301.4 page 9272673529 Volume 8 4th Edition 2012 clearly states that Chester Firefighters will not back down from your bullsh**, regardless of any internal memo asking us to shut up.

    17. Tarnish reputations? Really? Seriously? You actually feel the need to protect the character of lying, cheating, thieving, back-biting, back-stabbing, self-centered, egotistical, inconsiderate, discompassionate, inappropriate, slithering, taxpayer scam artists like yourselves? It's not all of the troops but you guys - you know who you are - stepped way out of line this time and proved yourselves an absolute disgrace to the profession and honor due a professional firefighter - or whatever you call yourselves on your other jobs. Just how far are you willing to go to damage people for your assinine "cause"? How dare you conduct yourselves with such cruelty and animosity at a time when your humanity should be extended to those enduring a loss. The same as you would expect from any stranger on the street and which has certainly been extended to the majority of you over the years. Laying low and hiding out? How dare you question someone's whereabouts when you are fully aware of the family loss. How dare you create so much chaos and confusion during a time of grief. What is wrong with you all? Such behavior and indignation from the leaders and followers over a situaton you created and much like all the situations you create for yourselves. Those who ARE racist, biased, bigoted and haters show their true colors and selves eventually but mostly when folks are down...dontcha now? God help us all while we endure your presence with your unabashed proclamations of being do-gooders and protectors while you are on your quest for your own selfish wallet full of justice. You don't mind trashing and tarnishing others but for some unknown reason trashing you all is off-limits? The world doesn't work like that....Go to church and pray for your un-holy souls! and act like grown men for a change!

More hostile and toxic behavior from the self-proclaimed do-gooders. The intention was transparent enough and if acting like clowns is how you get through your day then have at it. I sincerely hope you never have to endure folks behaving like fools during a time of loss in your family.

    24. Commissioner Jim Johnson did not write the posts above; I did. I sincerely appreciate however, your absolute validaton of the hostile and toxic sort of individuals employed by the City in the Fire Department that I described in the posts though. I am relieved that one of you finally stepped up and gathered up the courage to publish with such clarity in a public forum, your true career values and professional focus - the IAFF Local 1400 "contract" and your victory over the city. Good for you! Yay! I also appreciate that you took time to include in your rather crude and bizzare rant your impressive evaluation of all the elected and appointed officials of the city so that are all now crystal clear on the quality of people they are entertaining and schmoozing. I thank you for your honesty and direct approach to this matter. And I am sure someone there has a dictionary or thesaurus or a book on literacy - it was offered to me - so I'm sure you could borrow it...do yourself a favor and ask around because I have a feeling we'll be hearing from you again!

      Not that it's your business, but I've been a friend of Jim's for more than twenty years and he is none of those things you write about him. It's unfortunate for you that you don't have a better grasp on reality or know of the lifetime of dedication to service Jim has committed to this country, fire and emergency service, the city, and its businesses and residents and all that started long before there was a Chester Fire Department. I don't really care to know you West End Trucking Company #82 or backdoorstepfireman EMS or whoever you are and yes, it's personal...but know that should you attempt to spit in my face, you'll need a lot more than your famous Wizard to save your sorry soul.

  34. What's sad in this whole story that people are not talking about is the time lost. We had the US government helping us, we had Harrah's and the Soccer stadium owner supporting our city. Linder went after them with the taxes and made the relationship strained. Money knows money and I am sure they are telling their friends not to invest in Cheater because it's a MESS. Why would a new investor come to this city to do business and exactly who is he doing business with? Linder or Kirkland? Another question I have is how difficult will it be when the NEW BOSS of the police department come into power and have to report directly to Linder or will he report to Kirkland? If I am Linder I am speaking to Shep to see how we can move this city forward or I will be submitting to Kirkland and his gangsters.

  35. Doesn't the state rep for the 159th include 10 different municipalities? Why does Kirkland spend all his time at Chester City council meetings? Does he go to council meetings in Parkside, Eddystone, Trainer, Hook, etc? Or I guess he can't control which of his family members and friends he can get contracts for in those communities so he doesn't bother. Since Kirkland is obviously the mayor of Chester, i guess he doesn't want to be state rep and we should vote for the other guy in the fall. That way Kirkland can spend all of his time screwing the REAL mayor of Chester and the city!

  36. Black people are too funny... The city was in disarray when Wendell, I mean Dominic Pileggi was running Chester. City hall was corrupt as ever it was all just hidden very well.

    Linder has been in office for less than a year, and there will be issues. This thing will not get fixed overnight. But to think that all was well and good in Chester before he got there, is a joke.

    W.B. was a pawn for the white man that stole every bit of revenue from the city he could. Wendell Butler/ Dominic Pileggi, would not work with Thad Kirkland and let millions of dollars in grants slip away from Chester. All around this political Dem vs. Rep BS.

      17 people fired without cause
      hiring Kirkland's son in law as chief of staff with no experience
      Portia West hires her son
      Linder hires his nephew
      The law firm that gave to his campaign becomes the firm for the city
      Campaign supporters who promise to deliver Washington, instead spend their times on trips on the cities dime. I think you need to look at the present and future and ask where is our city going? Though not making front page news their have been more killings than ever in the city. Back doors deals for contracts, diversion of funds and I hear someone using the Mayors office for personal gain like tickets to all star games.

      And as for Kirkland, he has had 18 plus years to deliver from Harrisburg and I am still waiting. Maybe instead of the white man who has delivered you should be looking at the black man that hasn't and is clearly mentoring the current administation in his same pattern. When you can't deliver, "blame it on the white man"

  37. These democrats have no integrity. Kirkland gave credit to Linder and his administration for the PPL Playground build at Showalter and Linder graciously accepted. The City was first approached and couldn't produce so the CUSD was approached with only 5 weeks to complete a project that usually takes months to plan. Mrs. Blackwell who they terminated in January got the job done along with local 413 and many others who didn't get a thank you from the Mayor for saving 150K + for the kids of our community. Look at the signs around the soccer field, Chester City is not one of them. Even though L&I did everything they could to make problems for the build, it got done. Integrity in business is very important, PPL and Harrahs I am sure will tread lightly now. Any thoughts of Wideners to actually recognize Chester as they home has probably gone to the back burner again. The democrats don't have integrity amongst themselves. How do we survive this?

I guess he doesnt have to worry about his re-election because these dumb a-- Chester residents continue to vote for him even though he runs without a platform. He has no power in Hburg, but he obviously has it here. Linder and Kirkland can kiss and makeup but I have lost ALL respect for this democratic leadership.

  51. I am a former resident of the City of Chester but was born and grew up there with many family members still living in the city. I read every post and was grieved by the comments. Where is prayer? Does anyone believe or even know God's Word. Whether you believe it or not (and we are seeing the results globally)... we are our brothers' keeper. It is not politics we are wrestling against in this great City, but a lack of agape love (Yes, I wrote we because this is my hometown and I still visit several times a year). Cain killed Abel, but God's love, through the blood of His Son, Jesus, has covered a mulitude of sins. I pray that we examine our hearts and that the love of Jesus be revealed (in our hearts) as we seek God's face, lift every circumstance and issue up in prayer and trust Him for the answer! Hatred, backbitting, slander, malice, finger pointing, etc... will always destroy a people (city, nation, country, world) but only the love of God can bring unity and prosperity! God's grace and peace be with you all!
