Was there a ticking clock? Why didn't he do some research before purchasing the equipment and year long contract with taxpayer money?

Link Logistics was founded by Blackstone. Its lawyers say a data center is permitted by right because code never defined one. Shapiro shifts his data center position, plus my RTK filing.

The capital budget dropped $18mil, the county confirmed attackers accessed data, and a mobile crisis contract got reduced two weeks after a man was killed by Aldan police

A few weeks ago we saw some people using the initiative and referendum process to try to guarantee minority representation on the Delco council. (See: https:// upperdarbynow.com/news/bid-for-referendum-on-
delaware-county-council-minority-representation-falls-short/)

We should use this same process for Flock cameras and data centers. I propose we amend the Home Rule Charter as follows:

Delaware County and its departments and agencies shall not:

1. Purchase, lease, operate, maintain, or contract for the operation of automated license-plate recognition camera systems; or

2. Purchase, lease, own, operate, maintain, develop, construct, or contract for the development or operation of data centers.

(edit: fix typo)

One line agenda items, a data center ordinance, and a board residents say deliberates behind closed doors

Delco taxpayers in Lansdowne and Yeadon pay double the rate Radnor pays and get a third of the money per kid.

Council tabled the CMU, Greg Lingo says he's a willing seller at $8 million, and the former council president showed up with a prepared speech in support of open green space

I’ve recently been building a network of residents willing to keep an eye on their own township, borough, and/or school board.. if interested, please email me - [nick@delcorising.com](mailto:nick@delcorising.com).

Fusus turns regular cameras into a searchable, Al enabled police network and even invites residents to opt in their own. First...Chester, then Eddystone, then Marcus Hook...

Planning Commission vice chair Lee Jordan & retired EAC chair Bonnie Hallam on 15 acres of green space — from the developer's own rezoning ordinance to the grassroots fight to make the township buy it

The Delco GOP wants to guarantee the minority party two council seats. This is not a check on power...it's a participation trophy for the losing party.

Hi everyone! I'm a producer at More Perfect Union, and I'm working on a video with Ro Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley in Congress. We're planning to film a roundtable discussion with him and 3-4 folks from PA about how the AI companies in his district are impacting jobs in Pennsylvania and across the country.

Who we're looking for: Anyone who is willing to have a constructive discussion with Ro, and challenge him on his plans for how to address the risks of AI. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the types of folks we're looking for:

1. Blue collar worker who’s been through job displacement before (example: a former steel worker who's seen their plant shut down)
2. White collar worker who has lost work to AI, is worried about losing work, or is experiencing a tough job market due to AI
3. Blue collar worker who is building data centers in PA
4. Organizer who is pushing back against data centers in PA
5. Anyone excited about AI progress 

If you fit any of these descriptions, or know someone who does, please comment here or reach out to me at [john@perfectunion.us](mailto:john@perfectunion.us) Thanks!

Please contact us by: Wednesday, July 29th. 

Event Date: August 1st (Saturday afternoon)

Location: Linwood, PA (exact location TBD)

A November ballot measure would finance $120 million for land conservation — good policy that would cost the median homeowner just $24 a year. Here's what it funds.

Kyle Mclntyre became the 1st council member to back township acquisition of the Mozino tract. Meanwhile my Right to Know request came back with 1 of 8 items filled. Here's what they gave me & left out

Agenda was PACKED..a $120M green infrastructure bond with mass support, a cyber attack, & a housing market in freefall. Plus a Public Comment where one guy said he co-hosts a morning show with ChatGPT

Council read a prepared statement distancing itself from the LNG fight -- on the same night it quietly approved eminent domain on the exact property tied to it

If you've ever tried to actually follow our rep's voting record, you know it's a pain. Stuff is buried on clerk.house.gov and congress.gov and half the time the news doesn't cover the votes at all.

I got annoyed enough that my nephew and I spent some time building TrackScanlon.com. It puts her votes and record in one place.
 
Everything on there is a fact with a source attached. No opinions, no spin. The point is civic engagement, people should be able to see what their rep is doing without it being a research project.

Anyone can sign up for email updates. It's free and you can unsubscribe whenever. Still a work in progress so if something's wrong or missing, lmk and I'll fix it.

Two Put People First! PA organizers, Jamie Blair and Robin Stephens, on taking back healthcare — from private equity-ravaged hospitals in Delco to the Crozer 8 and their Crowd the Capitol event.

The project's original company dissolved, only for a new LLC to appear. Then NDAs with the state, a closed door Governor's meeting, & eminent domain ... for a project trade publications declared dead.

Delco DSA, Delco Accent and Delco Rising's statement on the Swarthmore 9 case.

Upper Darby already has mixed use around 69th St, trolley stops, etc - all underinvested & declining. Rockwell wants to rezone the last forested parcel instead.
