| Vulnerable GOP Congressman Scott Perry is literally leaving Pennsylvanians out in the cold.
In a scathing letter to the editor, a Dauphin County voter blasts Perry for claiming on his website that he is accessible to constituents, but then locking out a group of seniors from his district office – and even threatening them with arrest – during a recent visit.
“Is this how Rep. Perry defines serving his constituents and valuing their feedback?” the frustrated voter asks.
REMINDER: It has “been more than 2,000 days since Perry faced his constituents at an in-person town hall setting” – nearly 6 full years. Perry has even gone to extreme lengths in the past to dodge tough questions, including running into the woods to avoid speaking with CBS21.
Read the full letter for yourself:
PennLive: Letter | Rep. Perry says he values constituent feedback. Then why did he lock them out?
- U.S. Rep. Scott Perry’s official website begins, “I value all feedback from residents of the 10th Congressional District of Pennsylvania. I am here to serve you, and so is my staff.”
- On January 5, more than five dozen Perry constituents – mostly seniors, none radicalized – went to his Rossmoyne Business Center office to deliver personal letters about government issues important to them.
- We all were locked out, not just from Perry’s office but the entire building, per policy he established the night before. An employee of Linlo Properties, the building owner, threatened us with arrest when we asked merely to see the building’s directory of occupants.
- Eventually the letters got delivered to someone inside, but only after a constituent attorney’s multiple phone calls resulted in Lower Allen police arriving to negotiate entry for just a pair of Perry’s constituents.
- Imagine: it took a lawyer plus a police escort for two constituents to access the building housing the congressman’s office, its lease paid by all constituents.
- Is this how Rep. Perry defines serving his constituents and valuing their feedback?
- Yes it is.
