“We will continue to do everything we can to combat our city’s gun violence – including taking a record number of guns off the streets – but we are fighting an uphill battle. After the press conference, Kenney focused on gun violence in the city. Resign.” Both Domb and Green are expected to run for mayor in 2023. “However, our City needs someone now with the passion and vision to lead us forward. “We are all exhausted by the level of gun violence in our City,” Councilman Derek Green tweeted. “It is beyond time to resign for the good of the city and its residents.” Nor was Domb the only council member to call for Kenney’s resignation. “Philadelphia is in a crisis and needs a mayor who wants the job and all its responsibilities,” City Councilman Allan Domb wrote on Twitter. The mayor’s comments angered other elected leaders who have disagreed with him in the past. Kenney has been criticized during his tenure for a lack of leadership or visibility in city affairs. In each of the general elections of 20, the Democrat captured 80% or more of the vote. The 63-year-old has been mayor – the 1.6 million population city’s 99th – since January 2016, and elected city representative since he was 32.
“Yeah, as a matter of fact,” Kenney said.
So it’s – I’ll be happy when I’m not mayor and I can enjoy some stuff.” “You’re looking forward to not being mayor?” a reporter asked. I don’t enjoy (the) Fourth of July, I don’t enjoy the Democratic National Convention, I didn’t enjoy the NFL draft – I’m waiting for something bad to happen all the time. “So everything we have in the city, over the last seven years, I worry about. There’s not an event or a day where I don’t lay on my back at night and look at the ceiling, and worry about stuff,” Kenney said. During a post-midnight press conference, he spoke about the stress and concern brought by large events in the city. Kenney’s comments came after a shooting incident where two police officers were injured during the city’s Fourth of July celebration on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Categories News 6 Commentsīy Anthony Hennen | The Center Square (The Center Square) – A moment of frustration for Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney has led to two city councilmen to call for his resignation. Comments can be sent to the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors or the Planning commission by calling 717.334.6485 or mailing to 1370 Fairfield Rd., Gettysburg PA 17325. The neighborhood group encourages concerned citizens to send their comments and attend the public meetings. and the township board of supervisors is expected to hold a public hearing before making a final decision sometime this month. The Cumberland Township Planning Commission is scheduled to consider the proposal at their meeting on July 14 at 7:00 p.m. The county also recommended the township conduct a viewshed test to determine visibility of the new structure and “prevent any type of essential service from standing out to a large degree from the existing landscape or disturbing the visual integrity of the battlefield landscape.” GMA serves about 4,400 residents in Gettysburg Borough and parts of Straban and Cumberland Township. The county said justification should be given for choosing a maximum height of 175 feet and that if there is no particular justification for choosing 175 feet recommended there be no maximum height for essential services. Although it has no jurisdiction in the decision, the Adams County Office of Planning & Development reviewed the proposal. But that site was too close to the Gettysburg Airport. A water storage facility was originally scheduled to be built on Aqua Drive within the newest area of Cumberland Village, West of Herrs Ridge Rd. The group has hired an attorney to represent their concerns.
Construction will require the township to change its zoned height limit for essential service structures from the existing 35 feet limit to a proposed 175 foot maximum. Guise said GMA currently uses a booster pump to reach houses at higher elevations.
Paddock said she felt the tower was unnecessary given needed water storage could be provided with a ground storage tank and water pumps. Guise said the new houses on Herr’s Ridge Rd. GMA Utilities Manager Mark Guise said the tower is needed to provide sufficient water pressure for new developments in the area and that the site had been chosen because of its elevation. Local resident Susan Paddock said the tower will alter the character and property values of the neighborhood and be visible from historic districts, land trust preserved properties, as well as many areas in the Gettysburg National Military Park including Little Round Top. The property is on the corner of Herrs Ridge Rd. A group of Cumberland Township residents are hoping to prevent the Gettysburg Municipal Authority (GMA) from building a 160-foot tall water tower along a scenic area on a vacant property on the west side of Fairfield Rd.
