Upper Darby GOP Grinch caught with Dem’s signs in trunk
Upper Darby politics have long been an object of curiousity for many of us in the rest of Delaware County, so today’s news should be more of a surprise than it is.
Apparently, an Upper Darby municipal official was chased and caught by the police after he was witnessed trespassing on area homes to steal lawn signs for State Rep. Candidate Casey Roncaglione (PA-164). According to the Roncaglione campaign, the signs were found were found in the trunk of the official’s car.
Young Mr. Roncaglione is outspent by his Republican opponent, Mr. Civera, by a nearly 50:1 ratio. (Contributions welcome.) Civera is an entrenched, 30-year Harrisburg incumbent. Certainly he has the power and influence over the officials in his own party to make sure that they don’t pull stunts like this. Do they need to?
Township police are investigating. But even before that’s done, I expect that the licensing and inspection official will have his submitted his letter of resignation. Anywhere else, it would have already happened.
