Uniontown resident upset with vote
I called Uniontown Mayor Bernie Kasievich to voice my displeasure for the rental propertyies around were I live.
The grass is knee high.The are broken windows and trash all over. The general condition is run down. The mayor said for me to come to the city council’s meeting, noting they were going to vote on a rental ordinance. He said this is a very important vote and for me to voice my opinion and give my support.
I did go and do just that, but Bernie was a no show. The vote was 2-2 because of some wording issue, with Blair Jones and Jared Billy voting against it. Before the vote, Billy gave a good speech about how this ordinance was a good thing and how we needed it, and then he voted it down. If they thought it was not ready they should have tabled it to next month. Now we will have to wait six months for another vote. I think that was the plan all along. To all home owners who live next to a slumlord and to those homeowners who don’t, you could be next.
To all the renters out their who live in these houses owned slumlords, just remember when Bernie Kasievich, Blair Jones and Jared Billy are running for re-election and vote them out. I’ve been a resident of Uniontown for 25 years.
