Pam Puccio Criticizes Trump's Policies on Crime and Homelessness in Yorktown Testimony

The York County Board of Supervisors meeting on August 19, 2025, featured a public comment session where resident Pam Puccio addressed the board. Puccio, a long-time resident of Yorktown, expressed her concerns regarding national issues, particularly focusing on former President Donald Trump's policies and actions.

During her three-minute address, Puccio criticized Trump's approach to crime and homelessness, arguing that his administration's tactics disproportionately affected vulnerable populations, including the homeless and mentally ill. She described the situation in Washington, D.C., where she claimed that violent actions against peaceful individuals were being justified under the guise of crime prevention.

Puccio further accused Trump of undermining democratic processes, alleging that he was suppressing votes and targeting specific communities. She expressed her belief that the real threats to society stemmed from leadership at the highest levels of government, rather than the individuals affected by economic hardship.

The meeting continued after her remarks, with no immediate responses from the board members regarding her comments. The session highlighted ongoing community concerns about broader political issues and their local implications.
