Kicking People When They're Down

I found an interesting article from western Pennsylvania about a local Kittanning councilwoman being driven from her position because of some unfortunate personal setbacks. Nothing like kicking someone when they're down. Some folks have no principles. Kittanning resident Robert Copenhaver filed a complaint in Armstrong County court saying Borough Councilwoman Mary Piluso no longer resided in the borough and should be removed from her position.

It seems that a water pipe burst in the councilwoman's home and caused considerable damage. Then, to make things worse, her sister Rose took ill so Ms. Piluso began staying there so as to care for her sister and allow repairs to be done at her home in Kittanning. Boy, that's string of bad luck. At any rate the repairs are going forward and the Councilwoman fully intends to return to her residence, still gets mail there and puts trash out. It seems to me if someone still has to take trash out they obviously haven't abandoned a home. Her attorney says she fully intends to return to her home.

Chuck Pascal, who also hosts a progressive radio program in Kittanning, is representing Piluso in court and they're awaiting the judge's decision. People like Robert Copenhaver have no shame.
