Tonight we will welcome two new faces on County Council to Primos for our live-stream broadcast, ‘Live From the Newsroom.’
Actually John McBlain is no stranger to Delco political circles. He was the county solicitor and a longtime official in Aldan as well.
We’ll also get the chance to meet the newest member of Council. Dave White was appointed to fill the seat of Jack Whelan, who was elected district attorney last fall. Not surprisingly, White also was a commissioner in Ridley, just as his predecessor was.
We likely will focus on the county’s efforts to seek new buyers for the idled ConocoPhillips and Sunoco refineries in Trainer and Marcus Hook.
Council has actively been pushing to put programs in place to help laid-off workers at the plants.
Just this week they approved three contracts that will give these workers the opportunity to retrain themselves, including essential computers skills.
We’ll talk about the buzz surrounding potential buyers for the two Delco plants, along with Sunoco’s South Philadelphia refinery, and what might happen to the sites should a buyer not come forward.
Most importantly, I’d like to get readers involved. You can log on to our live chat during the show at DelcoTimes.com and ask a question of the two councilman. Or you can email me a question you’d like us to put to them. Send questions to editor@delcotimes.com
Join us tonight at 7 for a conversation with two county councilmen. Don’t sit on the sidelines. Get involved – and engaged. Join the conversation!
