Tempers flared at a meeting today inside a private gated community in the Pocono’s. The meeting ended abruptly when WBRE News arrived to cover the event.
Residents of the Pine Ridge private community say they're furious they're not getting the security they paid for. Carol Greene says that she is afraid they will wind up with security that is less than what they have now.
Earlier this week several staffers failed to report to work, saying they were sick. Tom Dunn a past pine ridge board president says, "in my opinion, that puts us in a liability situation." The board of directors called an emergency meeting for Saturday, with residents
After a difficult battle to get in to the community, WBRE news quickly learned most wanted it to stay private and the meeting was adjourned as soon as our crew arrived and tempers started to flare stating “it's no one's business what happens in a private community." Board members say those who walked off the job were officially fired Saturday. Board member Kathleen Farrelly told WBRE News that “17 were fired including the entire security staff, community staff and administrative staff.” The question remains as to who will protect the residents.
Farrely also told WBRE News she's sorry for what happened and she wishes both sides could've came to a compromise. | | |
