Why does Mattis claim he was almost arrested after the East Vincent hearing?

Aidan Mattis 0:01

Ladies and gentlemen, I almost got arrested last night. For a righteous cause. Um You did kind of bring it on yourself a little bit. See,

Unknown 0:10

here's the thing, I feel

Aidan Mattis 0:11

Spineless cowards. They brought it th they like they brought it on themselves, which is what caused me to bring it upon myself. I see. Yeah. Like, you know. I um so here's the thing. For those of you who uh you know, who may not have seen, um and I actually don't know, uh could you also send the link in the Discord? Yep. I did that a while ago. Oh, okay, to this stream? Yeah, to this one right now. This specific stream. Yep.

Unknown 0:37

I did that like once it got once you scheduled it.

Aidan Mattis 0:39

Oh, cool. Yeah. All right, cool, nice. Uh yeah, you wanna sh uh do the sherry thingy on to just the post sherry thing? I can do it in a second. Uh anyway, point is uh for those who were not aware, last night we attended the East Vincent um township Yeah, what was it, the conditional use hearing? Yeah, i it was the conditional use hearing, but it was also the opportunity for people that were potentially going to be affected by the installation of the data center to uh give themselves or give them an opportunity to uh request to be party status within uh what is essentially uh uh see I I don't know exactly what's going on because it's it's feeling like a legal proceeding even though it's unver unusual by comparison to the other things that are happening around in other counties.

Aidan Mattis 1:27

Yeah. I think it's probably something to do with Pennsylvania having weird municipalities because our township system is not normal. Well but that's the thing is because when I was talking with the other people at the event last night, this is unique even for local counties right around us that have done the same thing in terms of uh setting up Is it the Chester County thing? I don't that's the thing is it there's other things in Chester County that are happening too. It's I think it's whatever. Correct. And to be clear, that specific group of people, if you were wondering, includes chair of East Vincent Township Board of Supervisors, Mark Brancanto, Mark Brancato, whose term does not expire until January of twenty thirty.

Aidan Mattis 2:06

But folks I'm gonna tell you this much. This man clearly has an ego problem. Uh I'm guessing small peener. Um anyway, he's bald, that probably doesn't help. Uh but last night he decided that the proper response to a room full of people who just testified uh and applied for party status in this uh this hearing, this situation, uh despite the fact that they are legally obligated To provide people the opportunity to appeal and to explain why an application for party status has been rejected. Despite that, they just wouldn't. They just were like, uh, we're rejecting this one. Or mo do we have a motion regarding the application of John Smith? Yes, I motioned to reject the application of John Smith. Do we have a second?

Aidan Mattis 2:54

Yes, I second. And then uh there's a third person who gets a chance to vote because there's three supervisors. And out of the two men and the women there, the only one with balls was uh Dana. Um Dana, I Yeah, I'm so happy that you actually stood up for the people of East Vincent. Um and by extension, every single person downriver from East Vincent, which is about three and a half million people. So that's uh that's where we're at with that. But uh Mark Brancado and Craig Damon Jr., um I'm sure if his father knew what he'd become, he would not have given him his name. Um but Craig Damon Jr., these two were just every single one uh that they could possibly deny. They denied. They they voted to do so. And unfortunately, because Dana was only one of three, she could not overrule them.

Aidan Mattis 3:47

But uh yeah, the response. that the board had to an entire room full of people and a state senator telling them what they were doing was illegal, correctly, um, was to basically shout people down, uh, just proceed as if everything was fine and they weren't breaking the law. And then when finally uh I said what everybody in the room was apparently thinking, based on the thunderous applause to which I was escorted.
