ASK SKIP: Borough info lag? Is Tigro still kicking?
I am sooo sorry asked:
I actually have two questions, why does it take so long in getting information out to the public following a boro meeting?? Second, where the heck is Tigro? He ran for Mayor, did he move? I did not vote for him and I am sorry. And I hate myself for saying it, but the SOB was right. Messina, Carpetbagger and Coach Scoda were not what this town needed. Ok, now I need to wash my mouth out with soap.
Three things about your two questions:
1. If your concern about delays in getting information out to the public has to do with the Borough’s own delays, you’ll be pleased that, first,
cablecasts of Council meetings are now aired on TPN Comcast channel 23 typically within 24 hours of the meeting.
Second, as of January 28 Council has approved major changes in the borough’s website and its management, which should result in much-improved access to general information, to standard items like permit application forms, and to Council minutes as well as board and commission actions. Borough Finance Director Steve Nease says that he and the staff “will be rolling the new website out over the next two weeks.” Keep an eye on http://www.phoenixville.org.
If your question has to do with the time between a meeting and its report in The Phoenix, many meetings extend beyond the evening deadline for next-day print. We’re trying to make up for that built-in delay by adding news to The Phoenix Files immediately after meetings, and by partial meeting reports for the next morning’s print edition.
2. Bob Tigro, former member of Council from North Ward, former Council president and 2005 candidate for mayor, is alive and well and, says Bob, “still living in Phoenixville, at least until the bank says I don’t.” He serves as chairman of the Borough Republican Committee, “doing the best I can to keep us afloat,” he said. Hearing your question, Bob revised “that remark of Samuel Clemens: the reports of the Committee’s demise – and my own – have been greatly exaggerated.”
3. About the soap: I consulted my 8-year-old grandson, who has come to know a thing or three about the procedure. He suggests that, if you really have to do it – no joke, this is a quote – “He should use something unscented. From The Body Shop.”

What do you expect? Its a borough ran without a Manager, and employees that have been on a free ride for 30 years...
TPN is on Channel 22, not 23
