Default driveway mom

My neighbor a registered D, asked him last week when he was walking around on my block where he lived and he laughed and said he was going to be printing a flyer, why did he not answer her?? I don't know if you spend much time with his people, but they are very aggressive if you do not agree with them it's immediately becomes a shouting match and a person could get hurt doing what you just mentioned.

If I had to guess, and my being familiar with Mike McGeehan enough by now, he's probably in a back office somewhere with Joan Krajewski trying to help her swing a deal to make sure that junkyard comes to upper Holmesburg as opposed to the alternative that Crystal L. Eiswert, the Upper Holmesburg Civic Association's secretary, has strongly recommended for that site. She wants the site, located at Pennypack and Hegerman Streets, to become a "green energy field," that is, a site that would use environmentally friendly methods to produce electricity, sell power to local utilities, and use the money to build a community center. And I can just see that deer in the headlights expression on McGeehan's face when asked his opinion on that alternative. And the ever omniscient Joan Krajewski with that gravelly voice of hers saying that anyone who thinks the alternative is a far better idea is a nut. Alas, California has Arnold Schwartzenegger while we have to be stuck with Mike McGeehan and Joan Krajewski. But hopefully not for much longer.

Default We feel your pain

Getrichtryin, why is that all the civic's feel the same way! Tacony was in the same pain when Daydream's was opening, and the fight between the civic and Mike began with a tattoo parlor one of Mike's friends wanted on torresdale ave. I 100% agree with you a green site is far better than yet another junk yard, we have several in Tacony and they are EYESORES to say the least.

This is exactly why I got involved in politics, but on the opposite side, in my mind is the lesser of the two evils. And you have the Lindenfield site, to deal with as well. I hope that your membership embraces Reynold Baldwin's for State Rep in NOVEMBER, let it be known anyone who embraces John Street is going to be unemployed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the flyer from McGeehan in the mail today. It says his family house, where he still lives is at 4401 Cottman Ave. There is even a picture of the house.

Default McGeehan is the one Lying

Mr. Baldwin never said he did not live in the district or that he lived in New Jersey.

He raised the question, "Why has Mr. McGeehan not invested in the district?" He still does not own property here.

And quoting The House Democrat literature: Reynolds Baldwin will leave no lie unanswered.

Mr. McGeehan also talks about his SOLID RECORD.

Perhaps he would like to provide specifics...

If he says he lives there, then he does. I think there are more pressing issues than who can prove they live where on both camps. As a State Rep, Mike's ties have been forever in the neighborhood. Let's all work to keep our neighborhood friendly to businesses and neighbors

I would like to point out that it was "you," the constituents, that brought this issue of homeownership to the Baldwin Campaign. McGeehan relies on polls to discuss the issues. Baldwin relies on the information gained by knocking the District twice on foot. Baldwin also feels owning a house in the district is vital to understanding the the REAL ISSUES facing the people of the District.

Mike McGeehan admits he has the luxury of buying and selling investment properties. A luxury not had by most of his constituents.

Where are his priorities?

Please look for our official response coming soon.
