SCHNEE REWRITES STATE LAW7/16/2024 This video runs slightly over 21 minutes, which is longer than I typically prefer. However, I strongly encourage all of you to watch it in its entirety. It provides significant insights into J. Chadwick Schnee's performance in his role for Exeter Township, which I have observed over the past two and a half years.
After his first year, I assessed Mr. Schnee’s performance and assigned a grade of F, urging him to strive for a C+. Unfortunately, in his second year, he received an F-, and his third year is proving to be equally disappointing. In retrospect, my initial support for his hiring was a mistake, influenced by the recommendations of Michelle Kircher and Mark Scott. Mr. Schnee has consistently demonstrated a lack of the broad experience required to effectively advise any township or borough. His career began at the Office of Open Records after passing the Pennsylvania Bar exam, and he later worked for Berks County before joining Tucker Hull Law Firm, where I first encountered him. Mr. Schnee charged $215 per hour at Tucker Hull and continues to charge this rate to the township. Initially, I believed we could collaborate, but it quickly became evident that he aligned himself with Bell, Vollmer, Gardella, and Kircher, ultimately becoming my adversary. This alignment led to his recommendation, and their agreement, to sue me. In the video, the first four minutes feature Mr. Schnee outlining his duties, a discussion prompted by my questioning of his billings and management involvement. Notably, he references section 1103 of the 2nd class township code, but conveniently omits critical phrases such as “when directed or requested so to do” or “authorized or required to do by the board of supervisors.” These omissions are significant and were also excluded from resolution 2023-39, where he reiterates his duties. The video reviews section 1103 and examines resolution 2023-39, highlighting Mr. Schnee’s unauthorized actions and deals made without board oversight, effectively bypassing the board’s responsibility to direct his work. Mr. Schnee’s performance has been mediocre, demonstrating that he is out of his depth beyond the realm of RTKL. Contracts he has written or reviewed for the township do not appear to favor our interests or result in mutually beneficial arrangements. They are often incomplete and fail to include key points. To further illustrate Mr. Schnee’s unfitness for his role, it is worth noting that after separation (rumor is terminated) from Tucker Hull, he established his own business and solicited reviews, which he subsequently removed, raising questions about his honesty. Additionally, he has redacted his invoices, managed them inappropriately, and, along with his wife, assumed false identities on social media to attack Exeter residents. This behavior, coupled with lawsuits against three township citizens (one of which he lost, with two still ongoing), underscores a pattern of creating billable busy work to support his firm and lifestyle. To my knowledge, we are his only contracted client. I urge you to watch the video and attend the meetings. This is your community, and it deserves competent and ethical representation. In my opinion, Mr. Schnee is both incompetent and corrupt. We urgently need a larger law firm with expertise in the laws governing 2nd class townships. We require a solicitor who refrains from interfering in management. It is time to initiate the departure of Mr. Schnee and secure a fair, honest, and unbiased solicitor immediately.
