Breaking news on this Friday afternoon (July 20): The Chester County Court of Common Pleas has overturned the cease-and-desist order against The Whip Tavern in Springdell. That means the Whip can go back to using the property next door as an office and for storage. It's a victory for common sense over the litigation-happy neighbors -- the "Springdell 8" -- who have nearly bankrupted West Marlborough Township.
Quoting from The Whip's Facebook posting:
"The cost to the taxpayers of West Marlborough to return us to exactly where we were before all of this hullabaloo? Nearly $100,000.00. Residents may want to attend the 7/30 public hearing on the proposed 0.5% earned income tax, which will be used to pay the township's ballooning legal bills."I couldn't have put it better, and I hope my fellow township residents come out in force for this hearing. See you on Monday, July 30, at 8 p.m. in the township building in Doe Run. (There's also a hearing the same night at 7 p.m. for the proposed Springdell and London Grove parking ordinance.)
