DRBC Chaos Raising Question of Why We Even Need It

The DRBC, in an effort to bring order out of self-created chaos, has announced it will consider something today but whatever it is, is deliberately unclear.

It just gets “curiouser and curiouser” as a hopelessly incompetent and politically corrupted Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) composed mostly of the same parties who are the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) is forced to react to a lawsuit against it. Today, it will consider a resolution announced, for some strange reason, prior to its meeting but at which no public comment will be permitted. Moreover, the resolution is more ambiguous than a two-headed snake when it comes to direction. The agency is floundering around in a desperate rear-guard defense against a lawsuit by the Wayne Land and Mineral Group (WLMG) while appearing to lead on something which it dearly wants to avoid.

Public agencies don’t normally put out drafts of resolutions ahead of meetings unless they’re going to allow public comment. They don’t normally put drafts a mere 48 hours before a meeting either. The fact these things happened in this case reflects on the chaos of the situation, suggests a serious lack of agreement among members and tells us everything that’s happening is a reaction to the WLMG lawsuit due to be argued before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in early November.
