Something aweful is happening to a family from our church! Lifelong Perkiomen residents Jim and Sue Umstead (14 Wartman, Collegeville) are being forced to sell their family’s farmhouse on 9.8 acres. Another 1.1 acre property near it sold for $130,000! Their property is worth at least $700,000! They are being unethically FORCED to take a tiny fraction of that! Are we going to stand by and allow our Township Supervisors STEAL our neighbor’s home and land and put our children in harm’s way? Mr. Umstead is fighting brain cancer! After the last township meeting he was so distraught he had a seizure! We must stand up and fight for them! All they want is to keep our schools safe from strangers wandering from the trail onto school property! All they ever wanted was to keep their property for open space for their horses, their grandchildren and all their township friends to enjoy!

Please refer to the Perkiomen Township website for the REAL information and not the stuff posted on your blogs and your church. Get the facts straight before preaching to others.

Anonymous, FIRST – the township is using eminent domain to aquire the property. That means they are doing this by force, otherwise they would not need to apply eminent domain as a method of property aquisition. SECOND – taking the land from this family is like taking their legacy. What can they leave to their grandchildren? THIRD – if there is something innaccurate that I have posted on my blog I would like to know so I can update it. Please let me know specifics.
