To Murrysville Council Members:
I am writing to urge you to once
again table the vote on this ordinance indefinitely until
appropriate changes are made in accord with those suggested at
recent Town Hall meetings along with the appointment of a Task Force
to help begin to build an excellent ordinance. You have been given
quite a large number of suggestions for improvement to this
ordinance and my hope is that you have paid attention, as well as
listened to what many people in the community have voiced as their
concerns. One would think that it is in your best interests to take
heed of these legitimate concerns.
I would like to remind you once
again that you sit on this Council representing the citizens of this
Municipality of Murrysville, not for the developers now or in the
future. I ask that you act in an appropriate and responsible
fashion and vote to table this ordinance indefinitely.
Once again, I would ask, what is
the rush to get this ordinance, as currently written, approved?
Linda Marts
Murrysville Resident
We thought the residents of
Murrysville would like to see the response to this email by our
Council President Nancy Kacin:
Linda:
You are in a very small group of vocal citizens against
development in Murrysville, as shown by the small representation at
both of the town hall meetings. It is also very obvious that the
group opposing this ordinance does not represent the future of
Murrysville, as by gauging the age of the attendees. This ordinance
does follow the comprehensive plan and is an excellent ordinance
contrary to what your group write in the local papers and voice out
at public meetings. I am prepared to vote yes for this ordinance. I
remind you that I have run on the premise to "promote economic
development to keep a lid on taxes" two times and have won. I do
represent the majority of Murrysville by the democratic process of
election. My constituents choose not voice their opinions in public
or the local papers because they have faith in me. Believe me, I
hear from them on a daily basis, they are just different people than
you are associated with.
Wait and see...I'll bet you will be doing more shopping in
Murrysville soon and enjoying it.
Thank you for your input,
Nancy Kacin
