Thank you to everyone who has signed and supported this petition. Your engagement continues to matter.

Since this petition began, serious concerns have emerged regarding transparency, ethics, and governance within the Borough of Stroudsburg. These concerns include questions about potential conflicts of interest, incompatible offices, revolving-door employment, and compliance with the Pennsylvania Borough Code and the Public Official and Employee Ethics Act.

In particular, issues have been raised surrounding the sequence of events involving the Mayor being sworn in, subsequently resigning, and then accepting a paid Borough position, as well as publicly circulated audio that references election-related decision-making. While no conclusions have been made, these circumstances raise legitimate questions that warrant review.

Updates will continue to be shared as information becomes available. Continued civic engagement, respectful dialogue, and public participation in Borough meetings remain essential.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at 7pm, 700 Sarah Street, Stroudsburg, PA. 

Thank you for standing up for transparency and responsible local government.
