There is no plan in place because at this time they can not legally sell the property. The legislature voted to take if off the Dept. og General Services listing of property to be disposed of. Until that is changed, the property will remain the Commonwealth's.

In my opinion, anyone who is for the continued closure of SSVC and against its eventual reopening, is against veterans and their families. It is a veterans benefit that should be retained. If saving tax dollars is all we are concerned with, then why not go to a unicameral form of government and eliminate one entire chamber of the legislature?

Apparently Larry's opinion on this subject is based on the school's self-generated propaganda, which is pure fiction and purposefully misleading, or he has a personal or financial interest in keeping this place open. The Scotland School for Veteran's Children only uses the term "veterans" in its title because the word is self serving – not because it serves veterans and their families. The school is not remotely connected with, or of benefit to, the vast majority of the state's veterans. It has operated for the past twenty years or so for the sole purpose of allowing a small group of Philadelphia families to have Pennsylvania tax payers shell out the money to house and raise their children. As operated in recent years, SSVC was not a veteran’s benefit; it was an outright fraud being perpetrated on Pennsylvania tax payers. Not only should this place not be reopened under those same disingenuous guidelines; those who were responsible for conspiring to commit this fraud in the past should be indicted!
