Perkasie Council Member shows unprofessional bully side

Email exchange between Councilperson Matt Aigeldinger (former President) and Councilman Justin Stottlar apparently resulting from an anonymous tweet from "PerkasieWatch"

Aigeldinger:  You talking out of school, Justin? How do you ever except (sic) to earn anyone's respect?  Keep your boy in check....

Stottlar:  To be honest matt i haven't said a word about anything to anyone. Thanks for your continuance of the last 2 years.

Aigeldinger: Bullshit, man.

Stottlar: Think what you want matt. I don't have anything to hide.

Aigeldinger:  Exactly. Piece of shit.

Constituent Outreach Committee meeting date change

from Perkasie Borough website:

Constituent Outreach Committee Meeting Date Change 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Perkasie Borough Council's Constituent Outreach Committee's meeting scheduled for Tuesday, January 14, 2014 will now be held on Tuesday, February 11, 2013 at 7:00 PM.  This meeting will be held in the Perkasie Borough Hall meeting room, 620 W. Chestnut Street, Perkasie.  The Committee will meet with all interested residents and businesses to share ideas, questions, and potential improvements directly with Borough Council representatives.

We can assume they mean 2014.  When Perkasie First contacted the new chair Justin Stottlar, he was unaware of the date change.  Who is calling the shots in Perkasie Borough?

Meet the New Boss, same as the Old Boss?

Apparently even though Perkasie Borough has ousted former Manager Dan Olpere, is a new direction really on the horizon?

Maybe not, as suggested by the re-appointment of Jim "Chicken Little" Purcell as head of the Public Utility committee and charged with oversight of the Borough Electric scheme.

Remember when Chicken Little warned that the "sky was falling" in 2008 and that gasoline would be $8 per gallon when he urged approval of an electric contract that resulted in a 66% rate increase to borough residents?

Chicken Little was further rewarded with the position of Council Vice President.

This was the electric contract negotiated by the wet-behind-the-ears Jim Havrilla, friend of Dan Olpere after months of neglect and missing the "spring dip" in electric prices by the Perkasie Pride majority council.

Only time will tell whether new Council President Jim Ryder and new council member Chuck Brooks will mean a new direction forward, or just more of the same "Perkasie Pride" that has left such a dark cloud over Perkasie .

Perksaie Borough possible rolling blackouts 1/7/14

ATTENTION PERKASIE RESIDENTS: Due to the high load on the nation's power grid, there is a chance of rolling power outages tonight. If an outage does occur, it should last no longer than 30-60 minutes. Please help by conserving energy as much as possible. The Borough's crews are on stand-by in case there are any problems as a result of any outage. If the power does go out, you can help by turning all of your switches to the off position so that when power is restored, there is less of a burden on the Borough's system. Thank you for your patience as the nation waits for this unusually cold weather to pass through the area.
