County Commissioners to Meet With Residents

Town hall style meetings to be held in Lansdale, Ardmore, Pennsburg, Glenside, and Pottstown

This article was written by the Montgomery County Office of Communications.

Over the next few weeks, the Montgomery County Commissioners will be having conversations about county government with residents throughout the county.

The commissioners have scheduled a series of five “Conversations With Your Commissioners” beginning this Saturday, January 19 in Lansdale.  The series concludes in Pottstown on Monday, February 11.  Other stops include Lower Merion, Pennsburg, and Glenside.

“These conversations with the commissioners are another in a series of ways we are trying to keep residents informed about what we are doing,” said Josh Shapiro, chair of the commissioners.  “We live stream our meetings on line and use social media a great deal to inform everyone about what is going on in the county.

“We urge residents to attend these conversations so they can hear what we have tried to do during our first year in office, and we can hear what issues are most important to our residents,” Shapiro said.

They are going to tell us what they are doing? Do they think they can get all residents into these meetings? I wonder if they thought about the internet, a a way of perpetuating their information?

They might as well broadcast it because lets face the fact they really don't care what we think anyhow. They will do what they feel like doing. They will parse words, lie by omission, dance around the truth, complain about the previous commissioners, the Corbett Administration and to a lesser extent the Federal government. Remember 2 of these guys are lawyers, the group of people who are most intent on ruining this county from the inside out. I would expect no one will get any answer to anything except, we'll get back to you on that

Steven/JxJipper, you should go to one of these, not enough citizens attend. These are very capable, experienced and professional people, but they are progressives.
Whole county and its schools are dominated by progressive ecojustice which now covers everything in our lives. Life must be fundamentally changed and fast to save the environment and create fairness. Your current lifestyle is not sustainable. Check out Rendell Building America, America 2050 dot org or the Del Valley Reg Planning Commission, they're fast at work on high speed rail and new boundaries, wittling local authority, convincing us to be anti-car and pro-urban dwelling, and we pay for it all. Big businesses way in. :)

Lee, I had posted a response but it was apparently too deep for the "monitor/editor" to decipher so they deleted it. My point was that none of these officials care about our "rights" because they all believe "rights" come from them, the government and not from the natural rights of man. This is the apex of arrogance by men who claim to be "educated".

Cut the spending and waste in the DA's office.

County Commissioners to Meet With Residents "What a Joke", after ward they all go and have a drink and laugh at the folks who made suggestions and ask the hard questions. They are in office now, the ball is in their court and they will sell out Norristown and make excuses with a smile on their face and money in their pocket.

well actually Dave , there are 2 homes that are literrally in the direct path of the center line ofRead More the sewer- I'm afraid if the sewer is permitted to go thru they would have to condemn them - the blasting would be so close- I don't think the houses could sustain it- they are built on pillars because their so close to the water- they are beautiful waterfront homes! full of children who go swimming and just love their homes and the creek.. the sewer would go right thru their well water lines and septic systems.. when there is another alternative right across the creek!

yes and don't foget we will be left with manholes where 100 yrs old trees use to be- a big 70ft wideRead More swath-like a bowling alley, losing all our privacy and shade we will never see the regrowth in our life time.:(
Catherine Beyer April 12, 2013 at 02:22 am
they don't care about us or their civic duty- I'm sorry but they made themselves very clear tonightRead More when after 3 yrs of pleading with them and even after DEP caught them in their deceptions with the 537 plan- they still chose to condemn us-- if they could just see the real people whose lives they are ruining forever but i forgot they don't care... well thank you Lower Providence for standing by us and thank you Trappe for standing with us.. Trappe was the only other township who cared!
