Letter: Kennett has crisis of credibility

To the Editor: I must disagree with former Supervisor Charles Shoemaker who recently asserted that “[t]here is no crisis in Kennett Township.” I assert that there is a critical crisis of credibility, performance, transparency and integrity, by the current Supervisors.

Letter: Medical payments to supervisors were illegal

To The Editor:       The Kennett Township Supervisors chaired by Allan Falcoff have illegally enriched themselves with $10,000 a year of the taxpayers’ money since 2007. They simply made a motion and seconded it with no public present, then started taking cash payments for their personal and spouses Medicare/Healthcare premiums.  This is in direct violation of Article VI of the PA Township...

Letter: Kennett needs a qualified leader

Letter: setting the record straight on land conservancy

Letter: Wake up, Mr. Nale

To The Editor: Just like Rip van Winkle, Mr. Nale appears to have been asleep. (referring to his letter of last week).  He failed to notice that our township residents have been celebrating the addition of a new 90 acres of preserved land less than a year ago.(Auburn HeightsII)  There was NO help from Kennett Township.  Yes, in four years the scorecard is:

Letter: Kennett hiding financial information

To The Editor Robert Listerman, who is Allan Falcoff’s campaign manager, wants you to believe that the big issue in Kennett Township is an outrageous request for the Township’s financial data that he claims will expose the private information of township employees.  According to Intuit, the software company that created their Quickbooks software, protected information can be easily...

Letter: Falcoff spending tax money to prevent release of public information

To The Editor: Kennett Township Supervisor Allan Falcoff has already spent $14,000 of your tax money and will spend upwards of $60,000, in order to contest the ruling of the Hearing Officer in the Right To Know request.  Mr. Falcoff directed  the Township Solicitor to file suit in Common Pleas court to appeal the decision of the Hearing Officer which ordered Kennett Township to release the requested...

Letter: Kennett taxes too high

To The Editor: Kennett Township residents, our taxes are too high!  Our Township Supervisors, led by Allan Falcoff, claim our taxes are the 4th lowest of the surrounding Townships. Don’t be fooled. The Supervisors conveniently do not include the .5% Earned Income Tax (EIT), which dwarfs our Township property taxes, in their figures. The Township’s 2011 budget projects that property taxes...
