Now that Gateway is
deader than a doornail, it's time to look ahead.
According to the
Bucks County website, here are the municipal results
from the 2007 election:
Knowing full well that someone will correct me if this information is in error, Sherlock (W2), Panzitta (W2), Bolos (W3), and Rivella (W4) were elected for terms from 2008 to 2012. This should mean that a full slate of anti-Gateway council members are up for election in 2009: Burger (W3), Worob (W4), Dreisbach (W1), and Ledger (W1).
Let's start right now to ensure that these four vision-less "leaders" be defeated.
Let's not forget that the long awaited budget needs preliminary final approval. It has to be up and out in public for 30 days of scrutiny before it can be made final final with a deadline of June 30, 2008. Here's the proposed 2008-2009 budget.
Unless a special meeting is scheduled in June, the June 25 meeting would be the date to approve the 2008-2009 budget. That means the preliminary budget needs to be out and on display by May 26, 2008.
Come on out and find out how much your tax cut is going to be this year. Then ask "What's Next?" to try and find out how three aging schools will be handled with a bare bones budget and no more bond money in 2008, 2009, 2010...Board of Ed

Budget Work Session
Notice is hereby given that the School District of Borough of Morrisville, Morrisville, PA, will hold a Budget Work session on Wednesday, May 7 and May 21, 2008 at 6:30 pm in the LGI Room of the Morrisville Middle/Senior High School, 550 W. Palmer St., Morrisville, PA.
Marlys Mihok, Secretary
Site: HS
Time: 6:30PM
It seems pretty fitting that the front page of the BCCT this morning portrays Morrisville so similarly in two completely unrelated stories. Morrisville this morning awakens to find that it is nothing more than a dump. It's a place where
dead bodies are dumped for convenience, and it's a place
where progress goes to die.
R.I.P. Gateway. I doubt that most other developers would have stayed around long enough to endure the abuse that PJP has taken for the past two years. That building should be ready to rent by now. Instead the community that should have celebrated the new business remains sitting there in the quiet dead splendor of a long interred and long forgotten cemetery. A place where nothing ever happens. And nothing ever will. There's Morrisville's ignominious future. Graveyard to the region.
Remember the names of the council members who want Morrisville to remain dead: David Rivella, Rita Ledger, Kathryn Panzitta, Jane Burger, Steven Worob, Eileen Dreisbach.
All six of you: What's next? Like your brethren on the school board, what are you doing now to improve Morrisville?
