We were told that the little guy couldn't win because big money was in play. Fox Chase Cancer Center, after years of deal-making, endless money, trade union support and two teams of legal counsel, has given up on their quest to expand into Burholme Park. At least for now. The law has prevailed and the Fox Chase/Burholme neighbors are gratefull.l Thank you to attorney Samuel Stretton for the many hours he gave freely to our community. Thank you to Orphan's Court Judge John W. Herron Jr. For those who still doubt the law, please read his decision. And thank you to our Commonwealth Court for upholding Judge Herron's opinion. Councilman Brian J. O'Neill didn't get FCCC's $4 million in spending money for his tenth councilmatic district. Northeast Times editor John Scanlon was exposed for his lack of fairness. (Mr. Scanlon, you too should read Judge Herron's decision.) And our elected officials must be mindfull of who elected them and the meaning of Mr. Ryerss' will, "...free to the people forever" before they decide they are above the law.
