The Chairman of the Westmoreland County Republican Committee agrees that the Hempfield Municipal Authority members messed up and should resign!.
Perry Christopher, Chairman of the Westmoreland County Republican Committee, wrote this on his Blog: “I don't know why these guys just don't quit. There are at least three thousand other people in Hempfield Township that could sit on the board just as well. In all honesty, the current members with the "credit card problem" wouldn't even be missed. But, none of my business, I live in Unity Township. The public is already sick of government in general. So, any official caught up in something like this should just step aside and give someone else a chance to serve honorably."
.
Supervisor Kim Ward finally gets it: She is quoted saying “It appears some out there want me to stand on the rooftop and yell “resign”, and that would probably be the politically expedient thing to do.”
It certainly would be the RIGHT thing to do as an elected public official!
Supervisor Kim Ward finally got it right by calling for the resignations of the Hempfield Municipal Authority members. Supervisor Ward states “I did indeed call for resignations, just not in a public forum. I mailed my request for resignation to the individual members…”
It appears that Supervisor Kim Ward has a problem with SUNSHINE.
Openness by public officials is what the public should and expect to receive not secret actions behind the closed doors (or envelopes) behavior.
Elected public officials have a responsibility to do public business in public forums - not hidden from the public.
