Phil Ahr A No Show At Monday Radnor Board Meeting

RANDOR TOWNSHIP, PA – As Radnor Township Board of Commissioners President Phil Ahr is the subject of a Delaware County-led criminal investigation, he opted to skip the board's recent meeting.

The commissioners met for their regular board meeting on Monday, Sept. 25.

But Ahr, who was elected board president in July as Elaine Schaefer stepped down, did not show up. Nor did he attend the executive session held prior to Monday's meeting and on Thursday, Sept 21, which was the day Ahr's home was searched by county investigators.

The Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division is investigating Ahr for undisclosed reasons, according to the township.

No township employees, police, or staff are involved in the investigation.

Ahr, 66, is a Democrat represents who represents Radnor's Ward 7.

A joint statement from the board was read at the start of Monday's meeting.

"While the investigation continues, this board will focus on conducting the business of this township and serving the members of our community," the board statement read. "When developments occur with the criminal investigation, we will address them as appropriate. However, until that time Radnor Township will be making no further comment."

Commissioner Luke Clark, a Republican representing Ward 3, said the board needs to reorganize as quickly as possible to elect a new president.

On Facebook, Clark this would be the fifth time in the two years he has been on the board should the board reorganize.
