Read on WTAJ about the recent city council meeting. I am suspicious of this Jackson woman who keeps showing up and is now apparently running for council. It seems odd to me how she has all this time on her hands. She legit???
Ms. Jackson and her husband own several businesses, entities, and properties in DuBois. She was raised here and cares about this city. Her family lives here. She cares. Legitimately.
Carl, Do you even reside in this area code? Acting like you've never heard of her running for council until all of this tells me you aren't.

I disagree about implicating the chief in being the courier of "the ceiling tile money" to the bank--someone needed to secure it--the bank, in a reported separate account, did that. He was acting as a city employee securing money that is believed to belong to the city's taxpayers.
TC holding it for any length of time is wrong and she should be held accountable for those actions.
The other part about chief though--I agree. Strongly suggesting that charges be dropped just because of who someone is, is wrong. However, we really don't need another employee receiving a paycheck while they sit on their sofa watching Hulu and not working. One is bad enough. Send him to work.

Ok, but how do you explain when we had to mask up, that there was hardly any flu or other viruses going around that first Covid winter?
1) people were staying home. 2) Children weren't in school. School is a cesspool for germs. 3) people were actually washing their hands for once.

So we should not be drinking the water that comes from DuBois?
Care to elaborate? I'm not privy to whatever is going on.

Now the latest has our current mayor being issued a couple of citations for careless driving and driving on the sidewalk on June 17th during community days. Charges were filed on June 26th with the magistrate. Not really sure what the reason was for being on the sidewalk. Will have to wait until gypsy Toni tells him how to answer.
I'm curious to know which sidewalk he was driving on. *And is that a "power" afforded to a Mayor?

While I do feel badly for the five people that lost their lives and for their families who have to endure the loss, can we take a minute to recognize that doing things willingly that contain an obscene amount of risk should not place others in peril? Then add in the financial burden of the cost for search and rescue.

According to a Facebook post I saw last evening, the most likely next Mayor of DuBois, Pat Reasinger, has been tapped to fill the council seat vacated by Ms. Gabriel. Hopefully Mr. Reasinger can help to get the city steered back to some semblance of sanity soon and we won't have to wait until January for things to start making sense. It won't be an easy task, but hopefully it goes well.

The building alarm should have been reset also. How did Toni get in to find the money cache to begin with when this was already a criminal investigation?
Agreed.
I always look at things like the news reports when they are interviewing the neighbors of a maniac after the maniac's laundry list of heinous acts come to light. The neighbors say things like, " He was so quiet. Always cut my grass and took my trash out for me. Bought my son a new bike after his was stolen. He paid for his great niece to go to college. He was so nice. I can't believe he murdered 300 people with an ax over the last 10 years."
(Admittedly, I have some trust issues--but it's beneficial for my current employment and personal life.)
We just never know what is truly in people's hearts and minds.
As "they" say, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

It has always been customary in any job I've ever worked at to change locks when any key holder leaves the key holder position. Regardless of the terms of the separation. This should have happened then. And I pray it happened at the city building as well.
Additionally, when the AG "raid" happened last year--a certain someone SHOULD have had access revoked to any and ALL bank accounts to which he was an authorized signer that was not obviously a personal account.
"Restrict access" should always be rule one.

I expect chairs will start appearing this evening.

There's really no such thing as a grant, it's still taxpayer money.
100% agree. That was the reason for the ellipsis. There isn't a special font (yet) for sarcasm.
The "it was a grant" excuse seems to be how they smooth things over with the general population that think it's "free money" when "they" spend money on waterfalls when we have waterlines that bust every year in the same place.

Yes he probably is serious. Insurance costs a person a thousand dollars a month or more. That’s a pretty good perk.
I was recently made aware (along with most of the DuBois populace) about the insurance(s). I was asking about the inference that the also get free water/sewage/trash removal.

water , sewage and garbage ( all on 1 bill ) still free for council members ?
Are you serious that this is a perk of council members?

What corporation? A big Pittsburgh one? Do they know the responsibility he’s taking on and the amount of time it will take away from his current position?
He most likely would have had to seek the permission of his employer to pursue this avenue. Many employers need to make sure their employees aren't going to engage in any conflicts of interest--unlike our city government apparently. *Even those that aren't employed by a law firm. Employers don't want their name on the line when things implode.

Never said it was a full time job. But if he’s a big time Pittsburgh attorney for a big corporation, they typically expect 50-60 hours a week and being on call 24/7.
a Facebook search garnered me the information that he is (or may be) a Senior Contract Specialist at Lantheus Medical Imaging. I doubt he's working much over 40 hours a week.

I didn't think anyone thought that a DuBois city council position equated to a full time job-even in light of this mess that will need to be cleaned up.

OK. Why her and not Pat or Elliot?
I'm certain they have to do the same. I only saw Ms. Jackson's post.
In my "defense" I'm not sure that Reasinger and Gelfand got the same notification that she did.

????
She will need to file a statement of financial interests and something regarding an expense account at a minimum.
-
I see that Ms. Jackson has officially been nominated to be placed on the D & R ballots after some loops are hopped through.
Perhaps that disclosure she will need to file is why a certain someone opted into a position that didn't require certain disclosures--but probably should have been required.

They're not brother and sister.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's because of the Paul/Paula thing that may have some people confused a smidge.
Toni has (had?) a reputation for being a ball-buster in divorce proceedings and was why my mother chose her to represent her. Toni succeeded in dragging out the ugliness much longer than was necessary. She encouraged my mother to go after things of little to no value in the drama, thus increasing her billable hours. I believe I was told at one point they were essentially arguing over a step ladder....my mother is afraid of heights, but "she" "wanted" that ladder. Dad signed the papers to stop the madness. Ladder included. He claims he said something along the lines of, for the amount of money I am paying these lawyers, we both could have brand new ladders.

In my defense, I was relating it to the story about the Sheetz employee who "was approached." That implies it was in person. In person--as in he was there. I hope it's not true. I too would rather think his name was dropped than he was present.
