1. In regard to Act 47 hearing, on Tuesday, a telephone conference of legal counsel occurred to review pending issues, but no formal action was taken.
2. DWH participated in the weekly meeting of Dauphin County Commissioners, essentially introducing the group to the Commissioners and voicing our concern with a litigation strategy that ultimately means that taxpayers incur the legal costs of three (3) local parts of our government – the County, the City and the Authority – fighting each other in court. We encouraged that our local governments become aligned in order to resist the actions of the banks, bondholders and insurers.
3. DWH held a public meeting to review the goals of the organization, the list of seven (7) currently pending legal proceedings related to the DEBT CRISIS, and other issues. We discussed the need for taxpayers to be protected from these proceedings, as our interests seem to have been lost in the legal proceedings.
4. Members of DWH attended the first-ever THA budget meeting on Thursday.
5. There are more THA budget meetings coming up and we encourage everyone to attend. (click: “Meetings & Notices” for dates)
6. City Council has a Legislative Session on Tuesday, 11/9 @ 6:00 p.m. We are hoping they take swift action on hiring a firm to advise the on Act 47 and Chapter 9. Please, show up and be heard.
Thanks for all who have inquired about our group!
And remember (as a new member said), WE’RE WATCHING!
Thanks,
