Great Questions – I don’t have the answers. I can recommend to contact the Borough directly to have these questions answered. They are usually pretty helpful.

I think it’s great that a resident has stepped up to try and save a great tradition, but I have some concerns about sending a check to The Borough of Conshohocken. Are we supposed to write “fireworks” on the memo line? If we donate and not enough is raised, will we get that money back? Will it be applied to our taxes? Do we just lose it? If anyone were to have a beef and beer or a raffle or anything like that, I would be more than happy to donate, but I don’t know about this.

I think you have to be very very careful when passing these kinds of ordinances. Legislation tends to have unintended consequences, heaven forbid someday you might have to rent out your property!

What about the absentee landlords that allow students’ behavior to continue in the fashion that it does? All it takes is a few landlords to strictly adhere to the lease that they make their tenants sign and word would spread that Conshy isn’t a place that students can come and raise hell. Pretty soon you will get the “responsible and mature” students bringing new blood to the borough.
