PUBLIC COMMENTS
Fred Fleet, of Washington, addressed the Board regarding the Washington County Redevelopment Authority
seizing prime property from elderly citizens in the City of Washington. Mr. Fleet stated this is wrong and someone
should look into this matter because Mr. McGowan, Executive Director of the Redevelopment Authority, is not being
truthful with information regarding this matter.
John Adams, of Avella, made comments about government spending and the waste of taxpayer's dollars.
Harry Sabatasse, of Burgettstown, again questioned the Board as to when they will take action to stop the elected
