Pa. Black Caucus urges action in parking dispute

Larry Miller at the Philadelphia Tribune writes:

A Black clergywoman in Harrisburg is at the center of a developing controversy involving her and a former top-level official with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare who allegedly blasted her verbally over a parking space.

According to Democratic state Rep. Ron Waters, who is also chairman and president of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus, Rev. Norma Kenley-Barber, 66, parked her car in a space used by Philip Abromats outside the Capitol complex on July 20.

Waters said that Rev. Barber, who takes a diuretic for a heart condition, rushed in to use the restroom. When she returned she was dismayed to find that Abromats had blocked her vehicle with his state car and had also gone inside the building to call the police. When he returned she said that he verbally assaulted her and called her an “idiot.”
