Media coverage and nearly 400 neighbors!

Hi Friends, we have almost 400 neighbors on board for this petition. The Commissioners took notice on the second day. the FAQ from the township leaves essential questions about this bogus deal unanswered, and I’ve found out that it would only cost about $2 million to rebuild the pool at Conklin between seasons. This is much different than the $8 million number that the Commissioners’ entire justification for this decision hinges on. I will present that evidence in a few weeks, as I’m not yet at liberty to disclose it. They are feeling the heat. 

In the past 24 hours, the lawsuit has garnered coverage from the Inquirer, Glenside Local, and Broad & Liberty. 

Please share the petition as widely as you can with Cheltenham neighbors. Make sure that folks enter location data so that we can verify residence. If you haven’t already, please email your Commissioner to tell them that you OPPOSE the unbid $4.5 million+ developer contract and the closure of Conklin. Thank you for your support. Keep it up!
