I think people forget that behavior is learned and it starts at home. Chester is such a small city that with all the negativity going on, there isn't room for optimistic growth. Chester has become the worst city in the state of Pa. I pray everyday that God removes me & my kid from this horrific place. I work hard everyday, pay taxes to this city and can't even get city officials, police, etc. to do their job. It's a shame that good people have to explain how they aren't like the bad people of Chester when in other areas, cities, etc. When you tell others your from Chester they look at you like you are infected. Times are tough enough. The people of Chester need to get it together. Approx. 50,000 people in Chester.......I hope they all vote in November!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086135269585425380.post-20867692247612289302012-10-03T10:18:56.779-04:002012-10-03T10:18:56.779-04:00We all have mad mistakes and did a crime... but it...We all have mad mistakes and did a crime... but its NOT where you start its where you finish!! and No matter what you say or do like I said, I BET MY LIFE KIRKLAND WILL BE REELECTED!!!!<br />#TeamKirklandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086135269585425380.post-67999305101439010602012-10-02T13:55:13.467-04:002012-10-02T13:55:13.467-04:00God Bless You All.....

The mayor and the police can do so much. Teach your children not to have kids at 12 years old and stop feeling sorry for yourselfs. Action speak louder then words. And for the mayor keep doing your job sir. Kirkland is causing turmoil and controls the council and this mayor is standing up. Stay strong mr. Mayor and keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086135269585425380.post-55229629811121627102012-09-30T11:37:41.301-04:002012-09-30T11:37:41.301-04:00I agree.

They are corrective for Kirkland and the Democrathc party of Chester. Check council's, Kirklands, the Chief of staff, the members of CEDA's board and the solicitors qualifications, then say if corrective actions have been taken. Because if it were based on experience and/or education or qualification, then Council can correct by replacing themselves and getting a janitor out of the role as chair of an economic development authority, or a slum lord, as Chief of staff or an ambulance chaser as solicitor.
