Not doing anything Sunday morning? Why not join us for our monthly radio show, “Eye on Delco With the Daily Times.”
Here’s a preview.
I had the chance to sit down with Chester Mayor John Linder for an hour, along with one of his economic constultants, Ricardo Soto. We were joined by my lead columnist Gil Spencer.
For those who have not been paying attention, the mayor has been engaging in something of a war of words with the folks at the Philadelphia Union over fees and a city proposal for some new taxes that would affect the MLS team’s operations at PPL Park on the city’s riverfront.
The mayor’s in kind of a tough spot here. The construction of PPL Park and the arrival of the Union are two of the cornerstones of the city’s rebirth, especially when it comes to the waterfront.
The team has been taken aback at the hard line Linder has been taking toward them.
I have bad news for them. Here’s a preview of Sunday morning’s show: He’s not backing down. He says the team owes the city $1 million and the city wants its money. Of course, the team has a different view of all this and is less than thrilled that the mayor has decided to make this a public spat.
You can find out just how public Sunday morning.
“Eye on Delco With the Daily Times” airs 7-8 a.m. on WPWA-1590AM in Chester.
