| Posted By: Ms J Posted On: Sep 4, 2008 Views: 181 | Send Pileggi packing Rep. Kirkland proposed a bill to name Route 291 the Willie Mae James Leake Memorial Highway. There were signs a few years ago posted with the late Chester mayor's name. However, Dominic Pileggi along with the support of Wendell Butler decided to name the highway the Rosa Parks Memorial Highway to take credit away from Rep. Kirkland. It disgusts me that Wendell Butler (a mayor if only in name) supported Pileggi to change the name of the highway. I guess a ventriloquist is only as good as his dummy. For God's sake, he is a mayor as was Mayor Leake. Where was Butler's support of her service to the City of Chester? She was the first African American female mayor of the City of Chester and was not given the respect she deserved to have the highway named in her honor. Nothing against Rosa Parks, but I'm not even sure she ever stepped foot in Chester. See the link that shows Kirkland's bill amended by Pileggi to get his bill through the Senate http://www.legis.state.pa.us/CFDOCS/Legis/PN/Public/btCheck.cfm?txtType= PDF&sessYr=2005&sessInd=0&billBody=S&billTyp=B&billNbr=0599&pn=1991. It further disgusts me that the folks in Chester continue to be loyal to Pileggi. He gives them the crumbs from the master's table and they lap them up begging for more. Perhaps if they heard what he says about them in his circle of friends, they would feel otherwise, but probably not. This kind of loyalty reminds me of the house slave's loyalty to the master. Will we ever wake up? Dare I say anything about Wendell Butler. He had his chance when he became mayor to tell Pileggi to take a hike; he was the new mayor in town. But what did he do? Well, we know the story..... Hopefully, this will be Pileggi's last pillage of the City of Chester when we vote this fool out of the Senate. As a consolation prize, we should tell him to take Wendell Butler with him! |

He is now showing concern (fake)d because he is running for re-election to the Senate against John Linder who has always stepped out to help the community. Without a strong educational system, there is no future for Chester's growth |
