Morgantown Total Recall

Dire Circumstances Call for Immediate Measures

Morgantown needs your help. Morale among city employees at an all-time low. Public safety is on the line.

A police force authorized for 67 officers, has 56 officers as stated publicly, with many more officers having stated they’re looking for jobs elsewhere. Not only is it not sustainable, it’s downright dangerous.

Other departments share stories of similar employee turnover and dissatisfaction. In the past 18 months, nearly all top-level department heads have changed with longtime employees opting to work elsewhere.

Morgantown knows what its past holds: couches burning, overloaded porches and decks collapsing, and worse. More recently, our downtown and neighborhoods have seen what it means when resources are overburdened, such as overdoses, some of which have sadly resulted in death.

West Virginians for Common Sense supports grass-roots activism of citizens sounding an alarm and raising a call to action now.

As part of the citizen petition to recall all seven Morgantown City Council members, Morgantown voters can make common sense changes to improve participation in local government: notably, aligning Morgantown City Council election dates with the November general ballot starting in 2024, as well as enacting reasonable term limits.

Malfeasance

Malfeasance in office is the doing of an act for which there is no authority or warrant of law.

Misfeasance

Misfeasance is the wrongful and injurious exercise of lawful authority — that is, the doing of an act which might lawfully be done, but is done in an improper manner.

Nonfeasance

Nonfeasance is a term used in tort law to describe inaction that allows or results in harm to a person or to property. An act of nonfeasance can result in liability if (1) the actor owed a duty of care toward the injured person, (2) the actor failed to act on that duty, and (3) the failure to act resulted in injury.

While it’s tabled now, City Council may take up its MUB takeover later.

Three City Councilors: Bill Kawecki, Jenny Selin, and Dave Harshbarger were adamant about moving forward to restructure MUB. Shame on them! Ironically, these councilors have two more full years left in their term, which increases the importance of the recall effort to remove them now.

For now, the other four Councilmembers have tabled the issue, but pressure is inevitably being placed on the holdouts, and some, like Deputy Mayor Danielle Trumble, have expressed a desire to move forward.

No MUB customer is safe.

Whether you’re a MUB customer in Morgantown’s city limits or across the Mason-Dixon in Pennsylvania, know this is an attempt by Morgantown City Council to further enact its will upon your property and your life.

Don’t be lulled into complacency thinking the issue will go away. If past history tells us anything, City Council may still try to implement its misguided agenda fueled by obstience.
