Distortion In South Whitehall

“Our vote was transparent and in full compliance with applicable laws, and anyone who suggests otherwise is distorting the truth,” Morgan said in her introductory statement to the packed house. Morgan knows about deception, she has been fooling voters for years.

South Whitehall is the only municipality I know of where voters must wait until the end of a meeting to speak. Commission President Morgan has been playing that trick card for years.

She knows full well that the commissioners were not bound to name a replacement for Mark Pinsley from the same party. Pinsley clearly used his commission seat only as a stepping stone, first running for state senator, and then county controller.

 She has also been cooperating with the Wildlands Conservancy to fulfill their desire to demolish Wehr's Dam, again ignoring the will of the residents.

Starting in the new year South Whitehall will have a new board, save for one holdover. Unfortunately,  the holdover is Morgan. Hopefully the new commissioners will have much more respect for voters than Morgan ever demonstrated.
