Kate and Gerry McCann will be given full custody of Brexit after PM Theresa May called them both a ‘safe pair of hands’, citing their previous experience dealing with European authorities. After the Prime Minister conceded that her negotiations were going nowhere, she sought out the best that Britain has to offer. ‘To some, Brexit is like a child. It needs to be treated with care and nurtured. And I can think of no-one better than Kate and Gerry McCann,’ she told the press. The couple will be handed all the Brexit papers built up so far and are already hard at work to protect the process. ‘We’re going out for a meal to do a brainstorming session. All the papers have been left in our hotel room where I’m sure they’ll be safe and sound,’ said Gerry. Despite a dubious past, the McCanns are still thought to be more competent than anyone in the Conservative or Labour Party.

But several on City Council are viewing the latest attempt by the mayor and some members of his administration as intermingling the two. Campana’s latest endeavor is to lease the Williamsport Municipal Water and Sanitary authorities’ assets — city-owned infrastructure, treatment plants and the like — and get the authority to make payments over the life of the lease to cover city expenses, fully fund pensions and eliminate certain onerous business taxes. But some on council said he needs a majority vote to make any lease deal happen — and they don’t like the way the mayor has been operating behind the scenes. “It is clear the mayor has apparently attempted to stack the authority to get the votes he needs to move this idea forward,” said City Councilwoman Liz Miele, chairwoman of council’s finance committee. The mayor needs to remain independent, she said, and not impose his political whims and not try to influence those who sit on the board and vote. “The question is the concept of the authority to protect the asset from politics and protect the municipality so the authority can take on more debt,” Miele said. “Unfortunately, it appears politics is clouding some on the authority who have a fiduciary responsibility to ratepayers.” Councilman Derek Slaughter said council’s responsibility is to be the “watchdog” for taxpayers. Now, with all of the discussion of a lease in the middle of the year, the stormwater issue is on the backburner and that is not good, Katz said. Campana has acknowledged his role is to appoint and to reappoint authority board members. But council said the lack of communication, on display for those who attended a special meeting where the change in chairmanships took place, and the tone of the meeting, is not the atmosphere they want to make deals under.
