I live in PA and was summoned to jury duty. I was able to be excused because I had a young daughter at home for whom I was the primary caregiver. I made the request on the form I had to return. They excused me almost immediately. My daughter was about 8 at the time.

I agree. This sounds way out in left field, but I think it might have something to do with the school. Housing might be part of it, but just before this whole thing blew up, there was an enormous push to undermine and vilify the local SD as incompetent and financially burdensome with a simultaneous push for private charter schools. I think it ties in somehow, but I'm not sure how.

There are many other things going on as well, and a huge influx of money pouring in and a lot of bitter people trying to position themselves to benefit. I don't have a stake in it either way. Burns got some big donations this year and followed up with a slew of votes favoring fash trash. He's not just a DINO, he's a trash DINO. The legitimate dems in town are problematic too. The best thing I can say about them is at least they're trying. The overall theme in town is pro-patriarchial, anti-poor, and xenophobic with performative liberal tokenism. It's all secrets here. Dems won't speak out against anything in this town.

The whole thing stinks, but it's impossible to tell where the odor is wafting in from. Maybe it's like a fart cloud that hangs over the entire city.

Not sure what all that has to do with a RE assessment appeal. Or with the ruling.

I tried that excuse with my 8 week old and they denied me.

Just say you were a victim of a similar crime to the one that is being tried.

You'll get out of it. Don't waste your time and don't waste theirs. Ya got a baby and that's more important than anything!!! Good luck.

Steel City in Phoenixville - Historic district part of town. Outdoor seating, indoor seating. Also now brewery but night time is a music venue.

You can call out sick from jury duty and they’ll just reschedule you at some point.

I was at jury duty last summer. Was not air conditioned. And the room we were locked in ran out of water. And we only got $9, which doesn’t even cover a lunch in center city. 0/10 would not recommend.

I was excused for having a special needs child. I can’t imagine having to report with a young child.

I did some consulting work for Geisinger health years ago. They told me that they had planned acquisition of 2-5 hospital/hospital systems every year for the next 10 years. Those purchases were solely to reduce their profit margins so that they could maintain non-profit status.

You'll get charged with contempt of court. https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Weekend/mom-ordered-jail-bringing-kids-jury-duty/story?id=10021588

That's a good way to get charged with contempt of court. https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Weekend/mom-ordered-jail-bringing-kids-jury-duty/story?id=10021588

I'm sorry, I just realized you said federal jury duty in the OP. Mine was county, so that might be the reason.

I would call. I was excused with literally no questions asked in the same situation. And it’s pure bullshit that you’d have to spend your leave there

Quick reminder what to do if caught

I would take the baby

oh, interesting. What does it mean going forward? They lose it going forward, but could conceivably reapply? if they tried to reapply, would the court look at it, or an agency in harrisburg?

thanks for the info.

If you have to have a back up plan

"Give extreme answers to everything. Lawyers dismiss potential jurors based off of whether they align with the facts of the case. Example - A gun was involved? They may ask how you feel about guns. You say you hate them more than anything then the defense will let you go. You say you love them more than anything then the prosecutor will let you go. Either way, you get dismissed.

I’m an attorney."

No. In a RE tax appeal, only the tax years appealed are before the court.

Heard that before.... although I've never been hiding anything....

Was this for county or federal court? I plan to call tomorrow.
