That was the headline of the write up this week in the Northeast Times about the task force meeting on the drug services businesses in Frankford. And what is the answer to that question? Dump them in there till the people scream in pain. So in Bustleton, they win and in Frankford we lose. At least up until now. Maybe they have pushed us too far.
Now maybe there is a chance that we can get this thing under control. Why? Well a lot of people are really justifiably pissed off.
…the councilwoman was adamant that she does not want any more approvals of rehab facilities or recovery houses in the 19124 ZIP code. She said her office is looking into the licenses and permits of facilities located in Frankford. The city Department of Licenses and Inspections prepared to start visiting the locations on the councilwoman’s list to make sure that city codes and regulations are being adhered to.
L&I’s Dan Quinn told the task force that any houses found to be in violation will be shut down. If they continue to operate after a shutdown order, the buildings will be sealed, Quinn added.
The next Frankford Civic meeting is on May 7th. There is strength in numbers.
