Your Voice: Our Morrisville Podcast Episode 4
Who’s Running the Show? (Part 1)
In this first installment of a two-part episode, host Amy Wuelfing sits down with Morrisville Borough Council candidates Shawn Ratti (1st Ward) and Deborah Colgan (3rd Ward) to ask a critical question: Who’s really running Morrisville — and what happens when no one is? Together, they unpack the urgent need for a full-time Borough Manager and how the lack of one is affecting daily life in the community.
From a chaotic rental inspection rollout to library staffing breakdowns and a crumbling Senior Center parking lot, the conversation exposes the deep operational gaps, blurred boundaries between governance and management, and a growing sense of dysfunction among residents. This episode is not just about problems — it’s about what real, accountable, professional local government should look like, and how Morrisville can get there.
Tune in to hear how everyday issues are symptoms of deeper structural problems — and why residents deserve better. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we dig into what effective leadership could look like, and how the community can take action.
