RE: Sign downtown Mr Dewitt told me himself. I think it's "Allen's". I get the feeling he likes to brag?
Josh is not part owner of any limo service , nor is Rod Allen . The service is owned by Bruce Craft & his wife. Call them if you need to. Josh is a driver for them & nothing more .
RE: Shame on Connellsville!! VOTED OUT THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB Because he was the only man on the Dem ballot for Council, that' s why he got votes. Karpiak was working hard for Matthews on the South Side ALL DAY at the polls and couldn't pull it off for Charley. So his word is not gospel.
Matthews told Courier he didn't "work hard enough" and he could've "been more organized". Daaaaaahhhh!
What are voters thinking? The good news is he will be up against a fine man like Mr. Duncan. One would think a Mr Duncan who represrents all kids would be the absolute perfered choice over Carte.
RE: Shame on Connellsville!! VOTED OUT THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB single biggest vote getter in the entire race with 563 votes.

RE: Shame on Connellsville!! VOTED OUT THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB I do remember our Mayor not even showing up for the arrival of Harry Clark's train display or acknowledging it. That was a big deal to train buffs of older age. I know he did snub those organizations, including the Garden Club, who were trying clean up and promote the town for the bike traffic years ago. Recently, he backed up Karpiak that self-righteous bully in preventing progressive changes. That's not my kind of candidate, but who is Lincoln, anyway? I need to see if he sticks to his word, or is really interested in taking positive action.
So how did old Karpiak bode, after all. Hope you people bullied him out of his pulpit.
RE: Thank You you should be commended for putting yourself out there, subjecting yourself to the criticism of those who do not have the courage or will to run for a position. However, to say "Unlike you who hides in your house on the computer and thinks you are a force to be reckoned with", I wonder who that is aimed towards? There was A LOT of negative campaigning going on the last few weeks on this discussion board. I do not believe anyone bashed you in all of that like they did some of the other candidates. I said a few weeks ago, negative campaigning does not work. It seems the names I saw on here consistently, being attacked, either got elected, have a chance again in the fall to be elected, or at least gained more support through votes than those whose supporters were on here day and night, throwing names around, rumors around, involving family members who were innocent. Negative campaigning does not work. People need to learn to speak more of what the candidate they support CAN DO, rather than what the ones they are not in favor of have done, could possibly have done, etc. I hope a lesson has been learned here and what has gone on the last few weeks does not repeat again in the fall. This negativity will not help our city, it will not help our district. I also agree, that you should NEVER stop following what happens in this district and never, ever, should you stop fighting for children. I say that, because those are words I, myself, live by as well.
RE: Shame on Connellsville!! VOTED OUT THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB He had a total of 10 years to get something done! Everything he claimed to have accomplished was done by someone else! Thank you Connellsville! You want change! Looking forward to seeing Connellsville thrive!

Shame on Connellsville!! VOTED OUT THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB For those of you who did not vote ...shame on you!!!! Voter turnout in Connellsville was less than 30%. Your votes count and determine what our future holds, and right now it isn't looking so good. We had an awesome mayor that really held Connellsville in his heart and governed with the utmost integrity and genuine concern for the well being of our City and its residents. I realize the financial stability of our city was a big concern and Mayor Charlie Matthews had it on a steady up hill climb, even with what was dumped in his lap. I have had the personal pleasure to see first hand how hard he worked to do just that. He gave hours upon hours of his own personal time, not to mention reaching into his own pocket every time and I do mean every time we had a function at the Community Center, and many other events and functions elsewhere that he contributed to as well. I walked into The Center back in October as a volunteer, just as it was starting its rebirth. Not only did I fall in love with the character of the building but also the character of The man that believed in its potential to once again be the center of the community by offering all of us in Connellsville (young & old alike) affordable events, and reasonable office rental rates for people to start a new business or a great place to move their already established businesses. It also offers rentals for birthday parties, showers, business meetings, theatrical productions, pageants and affordable gym rentals to any sports team, church groups and any other organizations in need of practice or play time. Many did not and do not know the consistent growth at the Community Center and in city due to the efforts of ONE MAN and his teams with only one agenda ..success and excellence for our GREAT CITY. Again I say shame on you if you didn't vote and for those who wanted to fix something that wasn't broke (CHANGE!!!!), careful what you wish for .....!!!!!!!
Before you stick us all into the category of not voting for your guy, get educated on how the primaries work in this state of Pennsylvania. Only a registered Democrat can chose one Democratic candidate to run for THEIR party and the same applies for the Republican side. People registered Independent or other--our votes DO NOT COUNT. The low turnout can also be because of the rules of this state. If I had the right to vote, I would have studied up on (not read the bullspit on this site) them and voted. Now, about your guy..... If Mr. Matthews truly has the community center in his heart of hearts, being Mayor or not being Mayor will not stop him from participating or helping you. Remember that. PS....I am not against or for any of them, I will make up my mind in November, when my vote WILL count. If he is a "write-in", I will consider him, as well.
In response to Were is all the money going.'s message:
New Mayor will Straighten out the Community Center. Why do council members continue to disband board after board at the community center. Why won't they allow citizen oversight? The public hears that things are ok. But no oversight. Makes one wonder. I hope our next mayor and council will remedy this situation.
coming to power will save the Community Center and return respectability and integrity this community treasure. And don't worry about the individual councilman reigning over the Porter Theater and Community Center his days are numbered.
I believe there are plans in place for the community center and they will be coming out shortly. There is one man who is controlling this town and it is not the mayor, past, present or future!

My opinion: The Community Center needs a business manager, and a 3 memember board, with a business back ground.

RE: Sign downtown Where do u get your info and do u believe everything u hear, guess he tells people he's part owner now of a limo service, guess I'm part owner of the business I work for too
Mr Dewitt told me himself. I think it's "Allen's". I get the feeling he likes to brag?
Well they take kickbacks and let money disappear that was brought in by the real board members. That lady does nothing but mess with 2 men who have jobs at the community center and who are buddies with Matthews. Now he's out and so are they, thank goodness.

Shame on you Michele. What were you screwing Matthews, too? Hes done absolutely nothing for this city, especially the community center. Everyone knows you fool around with the top dog at the community center, and the janitor there. Pretty gross if u ask me. Way to go on volunteering after getting canned from your job. Why don't u look in the mirror before calling strangers names.
