Subject: Elaine Milito - CCOEV
Dear Ms. Peronteau: I am the solicitor for the Democratic Party. I am supplying you with a letter that has been mailed to you. John S. Carnes, Jr. , Esquire 320 N. High StreetSuite 103West Chester, PA 19382v. 610.436.7500f. 610.436.7501jcarnes@jcatty.com

Please check your inbox for a separate mailing containing the attachment to Solicitor John S. Carne's, Jr. letter on behalf of Democrat Candidate Elaine Milito.
As a result of a threatening letter from Elaine Milito's solicitor, John S. Carnes, Jr., the Informed East Vincent Residents Group is being told to amend the statement "Elaine Milito spent CCOEV's money on Elaine Husted's campaign," and state that "no CCOEV money was used by Elaine Milito on Elaine Husted's campaign," (although we do not have documentation proving this statement). According to Solicitor Carnes, Jr., Elaine Milito used her own personal money to host the website for her opponent Elaine Husted during the primary campaign and CCOEV is only listed as the registrant because Elaine Milito "inadvertently failed" (her attorney's words-not ours) to remove the CCOEV reference. Please note Elaine Milito (D) ADMITS to using her own personal money to host the website for her opponent Elaine Husted (R) in the primary. Elaine Husted is now Elaine Milito's treasurer in the present campaign. Christine McNeil is listed as the Chair of Elaine Milito's campaign.
Solicitor Carnes, Jr. states in his letter "most importantly, no CCOEV funds have been used for this hosting site or any domain names, a fact that can be proven." We challenge Solicitor Carnes, Jr. and Elaine Milito to provide us with a listing of CCOEV expenses from the last two years. PROVE to us that no CCOEV money was used--- as you have stated.
Attorney Carnes, Jr. has warned the Informed East Vincent Residents not to make any "false and defamatory statements regarding the use of CCOEV funds for political purposes." The undeniable registrant for the domain site is CCOEV. The IEVR group is not responsible for Elaine Milito's "inadvertent failure" to remove the CCOEV as the registrant, not just one time, or two times, but a total of three times.
Elaine Milito's "inadvertent failure" brings into question her ability to lead. If Mrs. Milito is incapable of changing the registrant name for the account, three different times, what makes her capable of making decisions for our residents and our township? Who will she blame when she "inadvertently fails" again? Will contacting another solicitor be part of her plan? Also, as a result of her "inadvertent failure" to remove the CCOEV registrant information, is it possible that CCOEV ends up in litigation of it's own due to this "inadvertent failure?" Finally, one should question Elaine Milito's choice for solicitor to represent her. John S. Carnes, Jr., as Coatesville's solicitor, attempted to use eminent domain to take away a family farm. See http://www.saveourfarm.com/ for more information on the Saha case.
Elaine Milito seems to be the champion of saving land. Why would she hire an attorney who fought to take private land away from a family for public use? Why would Elaine Milito condone increasing our own township residential build-out 48 % (in the least) above and beyond what all the advisory boards (Phoenixville Regional Plan and Chester County Planning Commission) suggest and all north of the power lines only (see Aug. 6,2008 blog post)?
Might we suggest that Elaine Milito invest her time and energy sharing with the residents of our township what she has planned for us? What can she do for the residents of East Vincent Township other than investing her energy and time threatening a local resident and group who merely reported on a document on which SHE and her attorney admit she made a "mistake."
Based upon Solicitor Carne's, Jr. representation for Elaine Milito, we have made amends to the statement as noted above, however, we will continue to inform our residents about vital issues affecting our township. We will not be bullied. We feel this letter from Elaine Milito's Democrat Party solicitor is meant to stop political discussion and silence any dissenting viewpoints other residents may have. Again, The IEVR group is made up of Democrats, Republicans and Independents who came together to stop the Residential Bonus Density Multiplier. We have continued to attend meetings so that our residents can have a voice in decisions made in this township; decisions made by our elected and appointed officials. This blog will continue to present facts and allow our readers to draw their own conclusions and won't be silenced by threatening letters.
Finally, we would like to leave our readers with an e-mail sent to IEVR by Elaine Milito, president of CCOEV, welcoming us into the arena of informing East Vincent Township residents back in August of 2008:

I attach no significance to people who don’t say who they are. –Elaine Milito
Our guess is that we have become significant enough to be threatened by you and your attorney Mrs. Elaine Milito.
Thank you to all of our residents who take the time to read this blog, stay informed and challenge your appointed, elected and campaigning officials! Please continue to share this blog with your friends and neighbors and let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you and have a nice day!
