Cheltenham Township Commissioner-elect stranded in Caribbean due to Venezuela operation

Emily Cheramie-Walz of Elkins Park (Cheltenham Township) and her family of five are stuck in Saint Martin until Friday due to flight cancellations linked to the recent operation in Venezuela, 6ABC reported.

Cheramie-Walz is scheduled to be sworn in as a Cheltenham Township commissioner at tonight’s board of commissioners meeting.

“If you stay in a foreign country for another week, we’re all sort of in limbo. We don’t know what’s going to happen,” she told 6ABC. “We have jobs. We have school. I’m missing my swearing-in tomorrow. This is a cost we weren’t planning on incurring. It’s tremendously stressful.”
