    Cool Montgomery County Parks - New signs and ordinance update

    Good folks of Pennsylvania,

    After reading the threats of the previous sheriff I took the initiative to have the signs and ordinance changed. I first contacted them in June, we're seeing a change after I dumped a load of documentation on them, they listened and we've affirmative action.

    You may remember the previous sheriff's statement here:
    http://forum.pafoa.org/854713-post-10.html

    New signs are being printed for the parks, trails and historical sites for Montgomery county. The ordinance change will take time, however the ordinance will not be enforced.

    I encouraged several officials and the solicitor's office to take charge in making the changes, we'll see them soon. I'll post the text of the new signs once I receive them, the solicitor's office may end up sending me a photo of the signs, we'll see.

    Anyway, if there are any other concerns please feel free to bring them up. If there are any other ordinances which you have concerns about, bring them to me.

    Your favorite moderate(Rockefeller) gay republican,
    Geoff

    Thank you sir for all your hard work!

    Now can we start harassing about state park OC bans?

    Seeing as you get stuff done would it be too much trouble to ask you to look into that?

    I'm still looking in to that one. 6120 covers government agencies beneath the state, not state agencies. I'm doing research as to who has authority, the department or the state, to enact laws which may conflict with the state constitution, Section 21. I'm well aware of the section passed in the Castle Doctrine, though my thoughts are more along the line of governing committees for entities like the state parks and PSP.

    Much thanks! Geeze can you move to this side of the state when you're done? We need to get politicians here to do their job pretty bad haha.

    Glad you're fighting the good fight!

    Well done, Geoff. These violations are slowly being reversed statewide, but there are many more to tackle. Keep up the good work.
