Delco Courthouse Just Doesn’t Get It
MEDIA, PA- On the heels of David Landau’s proposal for Accountable Government, County Executive Director and GOP Spokeswoman, Marianne Grace, enlightened voters that the workings of the all-Republican County Council may seem “mundane” for those not involved.
“Grace’s insinuation that Council’s agenda is not important enough to raise citizen comment is exactly what’s wrong with this closed-door government,” said Landau campaign manager Jared Solomon.
In attempting to clarify why Council has voted unanimously in every vote since 2003, Grace informed voters “It’s not like council members are debating something that would require the partisan give-and-take found at higher and lower levels of government.” Grace cited the War in Iraq and rubbish disposal contracts as two issues which were substantive enough to warrant debate.
Solomon voiced concern at Grace’s comments stating, “Well at least it's out in the open now, the courthouse considers "mundane" issues that affect the economic, social, and overall welfare of the citizens of Delaware County.”
