Reply to PA Representative Burns gloats as 220 residents lose their homes by my404

Something just feels very off with this story. I just can’t quite figure it out, but for the most part JHA has been very decent with maintenance & upkeep, at least in other properties of theirs.

This seems like a very strange decision, especially when they have similar properties in the area.

Either some of the theories here are right, which is sad, or something more major is going on.

I do know that these are pretty much the only housing property that JHA has that is built on the hillside. The rest are basically flat land. I wonder if various types of water damage to foundations or something similar.

I keep having a strange feeling that they will cancel the 30-day move notice, but I can’t explain the feeling.

I think you should be able to get out off it because it's not about the pumping, it's about not trusting anyone else to take care of the baby. What if you have to be sequestered? You are still bonding with the baby...

I got 2 of jury summons in the last 6 months, the first one I was told not needed at this time, I just got another one while I was in the hospital last week.

There may be some room on "everybody knew" - I thought he informed supervisors and HR upon hire, which you would normally (or should) do in case you need to request an accomodation via ADA. it doesn't necessarily mean his everyday coworkers and peers knew, although he may or may not have chosen to be open about it.

FWIW I have ADHD and I get slurred speech during high stress situations (brain 1000x faster than mouth)

You’d think they’d just excuse her and move on to someone who’s just gonna show up without going back and forth with them trying to get out of it.

I’m not blaming OP by any means, I think it’s BS they won’t just excuse her because her reason is valid, but I’m thinking from the clerk or whoever’s perspective. If it were me I’d be like “well this person’s making more work for me by arguing, just toss her.”

I've been summoned numerous times, also in Philadelphia as OP, but never had to actually report. I kind of want to have to go just to say I've done it.

Is the great Stanley Hudson said, "get to go sit in an air conditioning room, downtown, judging people, while my lunch is being paid for... That is the life".

Just don’t go. I didn’t about 6 years ago when my brother died two weeks prior to my summons date for federal in Philly. Never heard about it again.

Got a local one maybe a year ago and just completely forgot about it. Heard nothing about it. Just got another local one in the mail and I won’t forget this time.

For what it’s worth I have served before. But I don’t think the courts are really going to put any effort into coming after you for a no show.
