Buried deep in yesterday's Inquirer story about a failed movie studio project in Norristown (movie studio?!?), was this gem that I found very revealing:
There was one more political connection: Gallub's attorney on the project was Marcel Groen, longtime chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Party, who often represents developers on high-profile real estate deals in the region.Sigh.
Is it too idealistic to wish that the leader of your county's Democratic Party wasn't rubbing shoulders (and soliciting big buck political deals) with the would-be Donald Trumps of the Philly area?
Yes, I guess it is.
