Another attempt at a buffer?

[Fire Marshal Bill]

I just saw an announcement that Representative Mike Flick, of the 81st District (Huntington PA) is going to introduce legislation on April 17th will introduce legislation to help protect the historic integrity of Gettysburg National Military Park for future generations.

Is this another attempt at a buffer around Gettysburg?

The 81st district is made up of parts of Blair, Huntingdon and Mifflin Counties. Another state legislature with a district over two hours away, wants to control what happens here. Shouldn’t he be worried about his home district?

Oh, that's just great  .   The idea seems to go over so well with our local legislators.  Sarcasm off.

D'ya think they'll let us on the bus?

If he is introducing Legislation against Gettysburg, I sure hope our Representatives are going to raise a shitstorm to let him know to keep his fuckin' ideas to himself.

If there is Legislation affecting Gettysburg, don't you think it should be a concern of OUR REPRESENTATIVES and not someone from Bumphuck, PA?

Did an online search for the representative who is introducing this legislation and this was what I found:

www.politicspa.com/republican-state-rep-mike-fleck-im-gay-2/44597/

Wow, Republican, Christian, Boy Scout and gay.  Talk about an identity crisis!    Now, don't get me wrong. I have nothing against someone being gay. But it kind of makes me wonder how much of this is politically motivated.

Agree, Mike Fleck really needs to keep his nose out of Gettysburg's business. 

It also would be wise to send a message to Dan Moul about your thoughts on this issue.  We all know where the impetus for this proposed legislation comes from.  And it has nothing to do with a casino, and everything to do with a property owner having the right to have a legal business on their privately owned property.

So tempted to go to this. I am actually free that day. Dan will definitely be getting an email from me but I know he is already against this kind of invasive crap.

Wait for them to start posting their LTEs once the announcement is made.

In the words of Paul Simon.....  Just get on the bus, Gus....don't need to discuss much.

Supposedly the event is postponed so the short bus will no longer be leaving for the trip.

Or trying to insure that we don't.  I find it odd that you would announce the postponement of an event, then proceed to give again the date, time and location of the event.  I smell a rat.

Then NCG ning site still has the fact that the announcement will be made today, but they have removed info about the bus.
