Right on cue, Al Magnotta uses bully tactics and threats once again to try to scare us. In NEPA, we teach our kids to stand up to bullies so take your threats back to where they came from and know they don’t work on us anymore.

We will not cower to your threats. We will not praise the the 4 Council members who did. We are not the people and the town you could roll over in the past. Those days are gone. We will never stop fighting. We will never give in.

“Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” – Winston Churchill

Excerpt from the OpEd:

As a consequence of a breach of the 1999 and 2014 agreements, Keystone Sanitary Landfill will be only obligated to pay the borough the commonwealth-mandated host fee amount and will be entitled to reimbursement of funds paid to the borough.

Obviously, a significant tax increase of 35% to 40% and a major reduction in police, fire and public works services are the only possible solutions.

The taxpayers of Dunmore Borough owe a vote of gratitude to council members Tom Ehnot, Mike McHale, Chris Hayes and Carol Scrimalli who, in the face of intense public and media pressure, mostly from individuals and journalists who don’t reside in Dunmore, had the courage to honor the terms of the 2014 Host Municipality Fee Agreement and the 1999 Settlement Agreement for the benefit of all the Dunmore taxpayers.
