Purzycki to be sworn in tonight
Wilmington Mayor-elect Mike Purzycki will be sworn in Tuesday evening at the first organizational meeting of the Wilmington City Council, to be held in the Grand Opera House on Market Street in Wilmington. The doors will open at 7:45 p.m. and the meeting will begin at 8. The event is free and open to the public. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Aside from the Mayor-Elect, new City Council members also will be sworn into office at the event.
The new City Treasurer is also sworn in tonight.
Henry Supinski was a huge loss ..very hardworking, honest and ethical guy.
Velda Potter will never be as good a Treasurer as Mr. Supinski. She on won that seat because her husband bought it for her with the help of Bud Freel, Gerald Brady, and the new Mayor Mike. Velda is not a trustworthy person and someone will have to keep there eyes on her for the next 4 Years. I heard that she wants to run for Mayor in 4 years. Is she crazy.
Who cares? He’s the Polish version of DPW. Inept, clueless, long time city politician.
The only difference between DPW and Mike P is that Mike is used to the State handing him a big fat check every year. As far as I know, the only State checks DPW cashed were his payroll checks when he was an elected rep.
FWIW, I’m not a fan of DPW and I’ve called him out personally in public. Fuck that guy. He’s terrible.
“He’s the Polish version of DPW. Inept, clueless, long time city politician.”
I’m trying to see the connection and I can’t. Purzycki is a lot of things, but a “city politician” certainly is not among them. Neither is he inept or clueless in my experience with him, which goes back to the 1970s.
Yeah, he wasn’t my choice, but I don’t see him as inept or clueless.
He’s a city insider, anonymous.
He’s no better than Bud Freel. Another old white guy who’s been feeding at the gummint trough for decades.
Mike and the RDC sold out Market St. in order to develop the Riverfront. And he got state money to do it. For 20 ish years.
He was only marginally successful with the Riverfront, and I’m pretty sure he’s totally clueless about how to handle the problems in Hilltop, the East side and West Center City. He certainly hasn’t laid out any plan re: crime, drugs, etc.
I wish him well, but I’m not sure he can govern his way out of a wet paper bag…which makes him a white, Polish version of DPW.
