During last night's Borough Council meeting, James Cawley, Bucks County Commissioner, took questions regarding the interaction between the County and Borough government. He entertained a limited set of questions from the Borough Council and residents.
With the impending courthouse construction, I asked that Commissioner Cawley take a hands-on approach with the Borough Council and residents to ensure that the potential disruption is managed in a collaborative fashion. With this request, I was able to get a public commitment from James Cawley that he will "not be a stranger" to Borough Council chambers and continue to engage us. While he has demonstrated a willingness to engage municipalities, I will hold him to this commitment during the challenging period ahead.
On the subject of the courthouse, it is unsettling that a formal plan for the construction is not yet available to the public. Critical issues such as parking are being discussed in very vague terms. The construction and its impact will require critical attention.
As your representative on the Borough Council, I will fight aggressively to ensure that there is action to preserve and protect the interests of residents and businesses in this great town.
Thank you for your support!
