All Mills are not created equal, so while this is a nice pretty chart, it is meaningless to me as an individual taxpayer. What is more meaningful if we want to compare the tax burden between communities would be to show the total cost in real dollars to the average household, with means and modes included, as well as the percentage of household income that the total dollars represent.
Looking forward to seeing the results of your research posted here!
Ha!! I only know that compared to resale value, the MSD taxes are disproportionately high compared to the surrounding districts. I don't need a colored chart to tell me that.
Your right that MSD taxes are high. You can thank the Republicans for that. They ran this town for 30 years.
"You can thank the Republicans for that. They ran this town for 30 years."
Sadly, Jane Burger and her friends will be running the show again very soon. Rhonda Davis not being re-elected was the first step to the shift back to the Jane Burger way of running Morrisville Borough. She is already beginning to run things again. I can clearly see that Burger is plotting away as we speak. She managed to make a deal with Victor Cicero to put Fitzpatrick's firm back in as the borough solicitor at the January 2012 meeting, even though the current solicitor was one of the best in this part of Pa and had managed to sift through a bunch of Burger's crooked dealings before she could manage to hide them. No wonder she made a deal with Cicero to get rid of them, she knew they would only make her look bad to find out what she, Mount & the engineer were hiding under the rug for all those years. But now she is safe with her crony solicitor on the dais, her crony as mayor, her old cronies Eileen and Todd and her two newest cronies Debbie and Vic. Its really sad for those who have worked so hard to bring change to Morrisville like Nancy & Dave and all of us.
What could Burger possibly offer Vic in a deal?
It would be one thing if Burger surrounded herself with smart, competent people. That never happens. It's never the best and the brightest. It's always the worst and the dimmest.
Pssssssssssssst, hey 80 year old ornery guy. If you listen to me and do what I say, someday this could aaaaalllllll be yours.
I watched the meeting and I counted the votes. I watched Vic vote lock-step with Eileen, Todd and Debbie. It was very upsetting to see. You speak the truth. It is sad for the town.
Victor Cicero resigns from Morrisville Council over issue of destroying meeting tapes
Published: Tuesday, September 21, 2010
By Petra Chesner Schlatter BucksLocalNews.com
MORRISVILLE, Pa. - Morrisville Borough Councilman Victor Cicero abruptly announced his resignation last night after council voted to table a motion to dispose of video recordings of public meetings, while also allowing Mayor Rita Ledger access to previously requested videos. Immediately after the matter was tabled by a 4-3 vote, Cicero stood up and announced, "I'm resigning!" Cicero, who had made the motion to destroy the tapes, said, "Good night. I don't know why I got involved. What are you afraid of? What a bunch of fools. I've never seen anything like this in my life." When asked by phone Tuesday morning if he was indeed resigning, he would only say "I will not be at the next meeting." Ledger said she had been asking for tapes from 2009 -- particularly November and December -- but hadn't been able to gain access to them despite several requests. "I still haven't gotten any copies," she said at the meeting. "How can they be destroyed before copies have been given to somebody who has requested this twice?" Borough Solicitor Todd Eisenberg said the recordings would be available to her before they are destroyed. Eisenberg discussed the legality of disposing of recordings. He said the state publishes a document every couple of years, which outlines how borough records can be disposed of. "One of the regulations is that video tapes of meetings can be disposed of after the minutes are approved unless the council finds there is a historical significance in keeping them," he said. "Most of the municipalities that I know destroy them after the minutes are approved." Eisenberg said, "If a person, not just the mayor, wants them right away and we do not have the ability to make the copies we can send them out and have the copies made."
Ledger said those who request a copy should not have to pay if the borough sends the recordings out for a copy to be made. Before his resignation, Cicero asked if the borough has the legal right to charge for a copy and Eisenberg said, "Absolutely." Eisenberg said he would provide more information on the history of the disposal of recordings "so everyone will have a better feel. You have the right to get rid of these tapes. It's just an issue of, 'Do you want to?'" Borough Council President Nancy Sherlock said prior administrations had conversations on this matter. "There's no reason to have six, seven or eight boxes of all these tapes," she said. Sharon Hughes, president of the Historic Morrisville Society, has been videotaping council meetings since she was told the borough's recording equipment was not working. She has volunteered to broadcast and record meetings for years. "Why are you afraid? What is the word up there, we might be sued? Somebody's asking for tapes now and all of a sudden we have to have them destroyed? They've been sitting there for 14 years," said Hughes. "They are a historic record of what this board has done...They are the history of this town. They are the history of this borough," she continued. Hughes challenged the idea that Morrisville should be like other municipalities and destroy the recordings right away. "Somebody wants records and other people up there don't want them to have them," she said, stressing that a decision should not be made quickly.
"It's not the right thing to do in my opinion," she said. In a phone interview Tuesday, Mayor Ledger said she wanted the tapes for prosperity's sake.
"I'm the first woman mayor," she said. "I would like to keep the tapes of meetings that I preside over. It would be great for future generations of your family to see it ... and it is a way of making everyone accountable for their actions." She would not offer comment on Cicero's resignation. Sherlock said the issue would be discussed at council's Tuesday, Oct. 12 meeting. "In Febuary 2009, council approved a motion declaring its intention to follow the schedule and procedures for disposition of records as set forth in the municipal records manual that that was approved on Dec. 16, 2008," Sherlock said in a phone interview Tuesday. "Since the resolution has been passed it is our duty to follow the guidelines ... We are not able to dispose of anything the commission deems historic or necessary to keep." In other news, Ledger reported that she and former Mayor Lee Rockafellow met recently with the Bucks County Parks and Recreation Department about the future of the Morrisville Swimming Pool. They did a walkthrough of what was once a thriving facility, but is now a crippled community hub following a major flood. The community pool has been closed ever since. Ledger said she will find out whether the county will work with the borough on getting the facility back in shape and open to the public.
perhaps others are currently plotting to take burger down, have you pondered that? stay aware of newbies
the rats run when you turn on the lights time to shine a big light on Jane Burger and her cronies
BOROUGH OF MORRISVILLE MINUTES - SPECIAL MEETING OF BOROUGH COUNCIL
Held in Borough Chambers, 35 Union St., Morrisville, PA 19067
Tuesday, October 12, 2010 (7:37 p.m.)
***
Reference was made to the question of Mr. Cicero’s resignation. Mr. Cicero rescinded his resignation.
Hearing of the Public:
Mr. Ronald Stout, of 129 S. Delmorr Avenue, commented: he was starting to like Vic Cicero because he quit; next day air, if we need a part. No more union thugs in the Borough, especially a Borough Manager; a monopoly on recycling, why do the restaurants pay?
The Machiavellian twists of Morrisville politics... While I agree that certain individuals have clung to power for too long, especially given their poor records of making any progress, or as is often the case, actively stifling progress, I think the whole idea of a Berger-led political machine is a bit too tin-foil hatty for me. I am sure that everyone who gets involved in local politics does so with what he or she believes to be the best of intentions. Once you get sucked in, it's easy to get caught up in the whole mess. I think that's probably a whole lot closer to what happens, despite the labeling of these folks as some kind of Boss-Tweed villains. When you step back and look at it, there just isn't a whole lot of incentive for these folks to act with the nefarious intentions that get suggested here and elsewhere in the community. I also think some individuals who get involved like feeling important, and then don't want to give that up. This lack of real leadership may be closer to the real problems we face, and I would point to individuals sitting on boards or councils who don't do the work, don't come to meetings prepared, and don't apply their effort to doing their best in their role. I would suggest that if you can't fulfill the responsibilities, step out of the way, and let someone who will step into the role. Is it that hard to be honest?
I like this last post.
