<p>On this episode of What A Week! NEPA, Mark talks with Walter Griffith — former Luzerne County Controller, auto mechanic, and government watchdog — about the explosive battle over Ordinance 202611, the sweeping anti-discrimination law passed by the 8-3 Luzerne County Council.Walter explains how this imported boilerplate ordinance (pushed via groups like Action Together) adds expansive "protected classes" like source of income, gender identity, perceived gender expression, weight, height, dreadlocks, and more. It creates a county Human Relations Commission with judge-jury-executioner power, threatening small businesses, landlords, banks, churches, schools, and individual freedoms with complaints, fines, and costly litigation.They cover:The citizen petition drive (1% to postpone, 10% to force a referendum)Massive outside funding in local racesDoxing of petition signers by Councilman Chris Bellows and resulting intimidationHome rule government issues, appointed executives, and lack of accountabilityWhy everyday NEPA residents must get involved to push back against overreachA powerful call to action on local resistance to ideological agendas. If you're in Luzerne County, check Citizens Alliance on Facebook for petition locations or contact Walter.🎙️ Share with anyone who values property rights, free speech, and limited government.#WhatAWeekNEPA #LuzerneCounty #Referendum #GovernmentOverreach</p>
