If we all Holler loud enough, even a deaf man will hear us!
Many of us have become very concerned about the manner in which Plum has become controlled by individuals through nepotism (who ya know)as well as heavy handed strong arm tacticts. It would be in the best interest of Plum Borough if serious talks emerged about a whole new group of unrelated individuals willing to transform Plum into the community it could be, but is not.

For openers, we need to challenge the district into electing a new Magistrate who is not controlled by the grips of of a few powersoaked individuals. Remember the whole debacle over the actions of some badcops in the Plum Police Department and all the ruckus, embarrassment, and money they have caused taxpayers. Wasn't that enough for us, as concerned individuals, to rise up and take back our town. Hopefully the citizens of Plum, (and I speak for many like minded individuals), who feel cheated by a disrespecting body of power running rampant over the interests of the good citizens of Plum. It is time to Throw The Bums Out, but be selective of who the bums are. Bring in new blood, with judicial know how. This town is not little Italy.

The news has reported that Federally indicted officer Ryan Schneiderlochner, has been given his job back? He was defended by top notch reknowned Pittsburgh arttorneys whose extremely expensive defense was not paid for by Schneiderlochner. Additionally, it was purported by one of Schneiderlochner's attorneys that he would likely sue Plum Borough for damages as well.

The officer who was fired by former Chief Payne as well as Plum Council, found guilty of 13 violations of police department policies, not only has been rehired, but expects taxpayers to pay for damages as he sues Plum Borough for additional punitive damages on top of his fully reinstated time off salary of over $56,000 a year. He is a liability and his actions are clearly unacceptable!
There are enough good men out there that we do not need police officers who engage in this kind of behavior. An officer so disrespectful to the borough (Plum) that rehired him back, that he is going to sue for damages in addition to his back pay, which has already been paid.

Again, he was paid for all the time he was on bail and under house arrest by the FBI for witness tampering!!! So he did not work as an officer but was paid in full for his time off and he still intends to sue Plum Borough. He was charged with videotaping a Monroeville Police officer and his girlfriend on company time at 2:30 am in a Plum police cruiser, outside his assigned area, and was being paid overtime for it. He did this to use it to keep witnesses from testifying against fellow police officers who were being investigated by the FBI for many violations of law.I don't think it takes a brain surgeon to figure out he was engaged in low quality behavior as well as certainly violating laws. He was found by Plum Council to be in violation of 13 counts of police misconduct.
Most jurors would be intimidated by the retaliation factor of a badcop that had the nerve to sit in front of your home in a police cruiser filming you at 2:30 am.Who would feel safe reigning in a guilty verdict against these kinds of badcops sadcops.

How much influence does officer Schneiderlochner possess that he can command his job back and then sue taxpayers of Plum for his pain and suffering. What about the pain and suffering he caused for the people he was videotaping. Any leader in this community that makes excuses for this type of behavior needs to be replaced as well as have people videotape them in private residences and see what kind of pain it causes them.
It is time that good citizens step forward. Let's get behind the council members who fired officer Schneiderlochner and elect additional members who feel his firing was a good first step in cleaning up the badcops and politicians of this town.

A new magistrate would be a great place to start anew, a person with legal experience, such as an experienced civil rights attorney. No more judges that are unable to do anything other than agree with police officers whether they are honest or not. The community is hungry for good management and smart honest people. Please start to Blog about new and fresh ideas and urge new people to seek offices in Plum. Plum has become an embarrassing nationwide laughing stock because of the DUI task force commercials on television as well as the many cops who continuously run Road Warrior Tactics to instigate unlawful, without probable cause, traffic stops, in an effort to raise money or find drunk drivers. The time is right for helpful and caring leaders to emerge in Plum. Anyone that runs will likely be the new magistrate, because the town is ready for the timely "changing of the guard".
