RDA meeting leads to shouting
City Council President Patsy Ray's line of questioning to the Redevelopment Authority Monday night led to screaming.Ray, during the public comment period, criticized the RDA for selling 31 properties for a buck each and not forcing the owner to repair the properties. She also attacked RDA board members for discussing the Riverwalk, when it was the city's project, not the RDA's.
Solicitor Pat O'Donnell said he believed the 31 properties were repaired. Chairman Paul Givler defended the board's discussion of the Riverwalk, and pointed out that the Riverwalk will be built on the RDA's property.
The debate erupted into screaming immediately after the meeting. It appeared Givler attempted to talk with Ray, at which point she began screaming at Givler. The arguing continued out into City Hall's lobby, where RDA member Joe Disciullo yelled at RDA member Ernie Campos. Disciullo accused Campos of "setting the city back 10 years" because he helped get Ray and three other council members into office.

Well, let's be fair. While no fan of Patsy Ray, I do agree that the RDA should not be selling property for $1 dollar unless those properties were guarenteed to be developed by business. As we all know that does not appear to be happening.
Therefore, who owns the properties now and what are those properties. I do agree that the current council has set the City back 10 years, especially with the current cuts of the police force.
Who bought the properties for a buck? Where can we find out this info. Sure can't ask the city for it.
I bet there was some "Who you know" going on.
ChesterCountyReporter.com has a more detailed story. Check that out if you want more info on the properties sold.
Okay, although there has been talk about Ernie Campos' involvement in city business, never have I heard confirmation of it. Per ChesterCountyReporter.com -- "Meanwhile, authority Member Joe Disciullo began shouting at fellow authority Member Ernie Campos. "You did this. You thought you could control all four and you can't even control that," he shouted, pointing at Ray. "You set the city back ten years." Time to clean house people.
The woman needs professional help. It's very sad that people have to scream, yell, and insult others to feel important. People of God should try very hard NOT to behave this way especially when the behavior is on a consistent basis.
Patsy won her council seat with a little over 100 votes. If an election were held today she would be lucky to receive 20 votes. The voters in your precinct can't wait for the next election, Patsy. we are tired of your big mouth.
