We have brought up Joe Tompkins' name a few times prior, mainly the fact that he seems to be involved in anything and everything he can be. The initiatives and ideas that are coming forward, seem to all come back to him. This post is compiling all of that information. We have looked over many meeting minutes and agendas and quite frankly, it's rather alarming to say the least. We're not even sure what he might be doing behind the scenes, but it's time we start to pay closer attention to this character.
The following meeting excerpts are not necessarily in calendar order. They are just some examples of Joe's involvement in everything going on within the City of Meadville. They are also not indictive that this is his only involvement, these are just his direct involvement as evidenced by new ideas coming forward.
Wake up Meadville. These groups they keep creating have a lot of the same players. Autumn Vogel, her husband Lee Scandinaro. Joe Tompkins and his wife Julie Wilson. A decent bit of Allegheny staff or alumni, which all of the 4 names we just mentioned are part of.
"Right now, the people who determine the direction of the city ARE the investors, the Chamber of Commerce, and the people who sit on various boards of directors."
Look into the boards for the Coalition on Housing, Common Roots, NWPA Investors Co-op, you'll see a lot of the same names. Look into VFM, CCU, and PAU, you'll see a lot of the same names once again. Climate Action Taskforce, same names there too. Now who really thinks all of the most important decisions should be left to them?
Why was it so important that Vote for Meadville/Crawford County United/PA United, ensured that they had majority vote on city council? To be in charge and make the decisions, with little to no involvement from those outside of their groups.
