Members of the Harrisburg City Council said they want transparency regarding the emergency declaration issued by Mayor Wanda Williams in July. The mayor called the questions they raised “petty concerns.'

Several members of the Harrisburg City Council exchanged contentious letters with Mayor Wanda Williams this week after council members raised concerns regarding

Who was immediately notified of the “emergency” once it was declared, and what steps were taken following that notification? When were the contracts related to addressing the emergency executed, and who was involved in the selection and approval process? It continued: “The ability to expeditiously declare a State of Emergency at the site of the Market’s Brick Building allowed us to not only quickly address the rat issue, but start construction on a building City of Harrisburg residents wanted to start months ago,” Williams wrote. “I am committed to working for the residents of Harrisburg, and I would appreciate if they let me get back to work instead of answering to these petty concerns.
