As reported in the Times today, the Concerned Citizens of Cumberland have finally scheduled a meeting!
The meeting is scheduled on December 14 at 7:00 PM at the 1863 Inn on Baltimore Street.
Hey Al... that's BS. Some people have to work that evening! (sound familiar?) Besides, why only a 5 day notice?

DAMN!
He must KNOW that I go to Yingling's Auction every Tuesday!
Maybe he can reschedule it for a Wednesday.
I don't have anything to do on Wednesdays.

I think it's funny that the Concerned Citizens of CUMBERLAND Township are having their first meeting in the Borough of GETTYSBURG!
I would have thought that since they are so "concerned" about ALL things in the Township, they would have held their meeting in Cumberland Township to show support for a local business.
Of course they can say that THEY FULLY INTENDED TO DO JUST THAT butdue to the BUSY HOLIDAY SEASON, all the function rooms in the Township were already booked.
Sounds legit.......except that they've had over 9 MONTHS to schedule they're FIRST meeting, waiting another 3 weeks until January and renting a space within the township would have been a nice touch- perhaps at their pal Jay Patel's hotel...
My guess is that they had to hurry up and get together before the end of the year, and before the Gaming Board announces if the casino comes here!

Good points 03.
Do you think they're actually renting a room, or is it gratis?
Any BoroVENTers planning on attending?

They'll talk about the superfund site, which has existed for YEARS (and was cleaned up sufficiently by DEP)... next to the Casino
They'll talk about water issues... next to the Casino
They'll talk about traffic issues... next to the Casino
... but Al Ferranto claims that they are NOT a No Casino Group.
We'll see who attends, and determine that for ourselves.

Since this meeting is being held in the Boro does that allow the Boro Resident comment at this meeting? IMO it would if you want to keep out the outsider having a right to speak then you have your meeting within the Township you think you represent.

Rock,
Where would you suggest they hold their meeting?
Pike? Nope
Herr Tavern/Sharpshooters? Nope
Hotels along Steinwehr? Nope

Can't do that... they're ALL PRO Casino
