Clifton Heights Delcares State of Emergency for Pope's Visit

[bamboomaster]

So what does this mean, lock down on our town?

^^^^^^^ This.

It's just an exercise for everyone's safety.

And about that $5M expense attributed to Papal overtime, well, there goes the road brine budget for an early winter.

Francis' visit will generate revenue far in excess of the 5M spent, (i.e., net gain).

I hope you are right. The profitability remains to be seen. With the restrictions on transportation and the potential of throngs of people with limited facilities for basic needs may cause many individuals not to come. A number of restaurants and retail stores may be closed, there is talk of the Reading Terminal not opening. The porta-potties will be ripe inside of a short amount of time. There is no guarantee of nice weather. With Philadelphia luck, it will rain all day and the event will be a portrait of over reaction.

Oh, and as far as Clifton Heights is concerned, why the need for a state of emergency in a place most people can't find anyway.

I would worry more about the attendees safety, than the Pope's safety.

It's Clifton Heights. It should always be in a state of emergency.

Along with Colwyn and Darby.

It may for Philly. I'm not sure for Clifton Heights (or any other surrounding city/town).

I understand their will be National Guardsmen out in force as well.
