According to a recent Pottstown Mercury article (see here) the Board of Supervisors is calling for the resignation of Supervisor Frank Kotch after learning he pleaded guilty to harassment charges in October 2008. None of the other supervisors knew about an incident involving Supervisor Frank Kotch until The Mercury reported it last week, according to a written statement released Sunday.
According to the article West Whiteland police and court records show Kotch paid a $422 fine on a summary harassment charge for the Sept. 30 incident at Best Buy in the Exton Mall. In the incident, a 41-year-old Valley Township woman told police that the Limerick Supervisor and store employee "gave her 4-year-old daughter a wedgie, asked her the color of her underwear and patted the child's rear end".
Here is what the voters need to do in that cesspool they call Limerick Township. Replace the following people who are up for re-election this year:
1. Supervisor Frank Kotch - why? The guy pleaded guilty to being a pervert (summary offense or not).
2. Supervisor Kara Shuler - why? I quote "We cannot let Frank Kotch's legal issues detract from the activities of Limerick Township. It is important that we continue to focus on the community and the residents." Need I say more? If so, I think she is inferring there are better things to do in Limerick than protect children. Quite frankly, this woman as a public servant scares the hell out of me!
3. Renee Chesler - why? Disciple of Stan Huskey as she would not know the truth if she fell over it. I quote from the Mercury article "On Sunday, Chesler said she learned of Kotch's incident last Tuesday, which contradicts part of the prepared remarks and an earlier statement Chesler made to The Mercury. She further stated, "Everybody found out different things at different times." Wow, that sounds like selective memory to me!
4. Replace (put a lot of pressure on the next Board) Township solicitor Joe McGrory - why? I quote from the Mercury article "There is no requirement for elected officials to report or share information regarding prior legal matters with other board members or the public. The matter occurred in Chester County, but was left undiscovered and undisclosed until recently." Now why would the solicitor even make such a statement? What difference does it make if it was a prior bad act? Did it not occur when Kotch was in office (not that it makes a difference)? It is foolish for a man of this supposed stature (officer of the court) to make this statement when he knows public pressure will come to bear that Supervisor Kotch be removed. It sounds to me like McGrory and some (if not all) of the Limerick Supervisors knew and were just protecting this pervert.
I smell the stench of this throughout the area and we are fast becoming the laughing stock of this state! I hope that Bob Kerns can get a hold of his party in Montgomery County and start cleaning up. The Republican Party in Montco has allowed for Democrats to take Republican positions and these are the type of people we get. Stop handing this over to the other party. A great start would be Limerick Township and then next with that Court House down in Norristown.
