First, the 'repugnant' back-room "memorandum of understanding" between the CDC and the Borough finally comes into the open, after months of obfuscation and chicanery.
In response, the Council sets a special meeting to discuss these issues in public, where they should have been handled in the first place.
Then, Council places that discussion on the agenda before any opportunity for public participation.
An excerpt from Council's draft agenda, distributed mid-day August 29th
I. Invocation/Pledge of Allegiance - Chair
II. Roll Call – Borough Secretary
III. Discussion regarding the Community Development Corporation
IV. Public Participation – 30 minutes

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand you're shocked to see this... why? Phoenixville is well on its way to seceeding from the United States of America.
I would say Phoenixville has signed on whole hog to what we see in the federal government of the United States. Do you see much difference between Cheney-Bush and Messina-DiGirolomo? I would hope that would both exit the scene soon.
Please -- they didn't advertise the meeting and they won't televise it -- unless one of the bloggers show up and give us a report -- we'll only know what happens when/if Skip decided to tell us.
I'm so not surprised by putting the public comment AFTER the discussion.
The meeting was taped by a private individual in the public gallery. That can be done, you know. If the tape and audio are any good, you may be seeing it soon.
Do let us know if the tape and audio are available for public viewing -- YouTube?
