Things the King (Joey D) and his court (The Republican Majority Council) have done that make you go hm-m-m-m-m

The purchase of land on Haunted lane at State road for open space.  The interesting part of this purchase is that it is wet land that could not have been developed anyway.  To make it more interesting, the land was owned by the in laws of a former Republican Councilman. 
The use of $5,000,000.00 for the improvement of the intersection of Galloway road and Mechanicsville road (state roadways) to make the Mayors ride home from work easier.  Out of all the state road intersections in the township that need improvement, this is the one that we spent township dollars on?  Is the King truly trying to tell us, this was the intersection that needed the immediate attention of the township?  There was no other state road intersection that needed more attention from the township?
Thousands of dollars of fines issued by the Fire Marshals office for code violations that were withdrawn.  A member of the Fire Marshall’s staff told a member of the community that the order came from “down the hall” referring to the Mayor’s office instructions to withdraw the citations.
Brady’s tavern being shut down by License and Inspection as well as the Fire Marshals office for code violations.  The shut down was lifted within several hours after an order was sent from “down the hall” to the Fire Marshal and the head of License and Inspection to re-open the bar!
$771,000.00 to former Township Administrator McCauley after being involved in his third hit and run in a township vehicle.  The last hit and run was involved Mr. McCauley being drunk (arrested and convicted) instead of being immediately suspended for being involved in another hit and run in a township vehicle, he was allowed to resign and received his severance package!
The promotion of Fred Harran to Director of Public Safety after he lied under oath regarding racial discrimination within the Bensalem Police Department.
The refusal of the King to let Councilman Allen see the investigation of racial discrimination within the Bensalem Police Department before Fred Harran was appointed director of public safety.
The use of highway funds designated for Bristol pike being used to pave and add lights to a parking lot behind a current councilman’s store front on Bristol pike.  This is the only place off of Bristol pike where the grant funds were used to repave property not on Bristol pike.
The purchase of yet another vehicle for the King.  He did say he doesn’t charge us for flights he takes.  I didn’t know there was a lot of flying associated with the Mayor of Bensalem’s duties.  Does anyone know how much money we have spent since the King became Mayor for his vehicles?




14 years of having Mr. McCauley and Mr. Cmorey in the Mayors staff.  Since Mr. McCauley got his pay off, they have not needed to replace him.  Why was there a need to have these two positions at $100,000.00 plus for all those years, now we only need one person? What did we spend the million dollars for if we only needed one of them?
Two mysterious suicides of women dating police officers within the Bensalem Police department.  Despite the requests of the family members, no outside of Bucks county investigations were ever done.  The last incident had witnesses that were never interviewed by anyone, even though the information from the officer dating the victim conflicted with the information these witnesses possessed.
The threats made by a member of the police supervisors against a current councilman that he would expose criminal activity involving this councilman if he didn’t vote to retain the police supervisor.  The King knew about it and did nothing. Why?
Victims of golf balls flying onto Hulmeville road and hitting passing vehicles being told by the township, that the township was not responsible for the golf balls!  The victims had to find out which golfer hit the balls that struck their vehicles.
I guess we should all be happy they don’t have a shooting range there!
Does anyone know what the King and his Court paid for the golf course?  Is it still a big secret?  Why?
If you are interested, there is a lot more where this came from.
