The purpose of Citizens for the Preservation of Rural Murrysville -
Political Action Committee (CPRM-PAC), a bipartisan group, is to
support progress through managed growth, responsible development, and
continue to support elected officials who are respectful of and listen
to the voices of the citizens of Murrysville. Given the fact that our
local government has the ability to affect our freedom, security and
peace-of-mind in rezoning and/or waiving existing limitations on
property development, we feel the voting history, as noted in the
following items, of the current council’s actions and potential
consequences are counter productive to the community’s best interest and
run counter to CPRM’s goals and philosophy.
-
Our community, by a majority vote by
Murrysville Council can and has been arbitrarily transformed from
rural to a commercial hodgepodge representing developers, leaving
homes and families in a sea of concrete, bright lights, traffic
jams, 24-hour noise, rising crime and deteriorating land prices.
-
The majority of the current Council
members have shown a commitment to support commercial development,
ignoring petitions and pleas of residents.
-
These members have committed the
Municipality to a “new Murrysville,” in which no existing zoning is
safe.
-
Once approved, most of these changes
can never be reversed.
Citizens for the Prevention of Rural
Murrysville is determined to prevent the ever more reckless extension of
the Monroeville urban sprawl through our community by electing officials
who are sensitive to and respectful of the wishes of the residents of
Murrysville.
Our promise and obligation to each
resident in the Municipality is to find and support trustworthy
candidates for the offices of Mayor and Council.
Who is the CPRM-PAC?
The CPRM-PAC was originally started by long-time Murrysville resident
Ray Meehan. This small group was started in the summer of 2006 over the
very controversial Business Overlay.
Today CPRM-PAC is a very organized Political Action Committee serving as
a watch-dog to Murrysville's governing body with the respect of the
citizens of our community. Half of the governing body of the CPRM-PAC
are owners of businesses in Murrysville, but we are also professionals,
retired members, and mom's & dad's like most of you. We are
also a bipartisan group with half of the governing body being Democrats
and Republicans coming together with one mission - save and protect our
community.
