CAMBRIA COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) - A war of words is beginning to take place after a local nonprofit's plan to place Afghanistan refugees in Cambria County was revealed.

State Representative Frank Burns released what he described as a bombshell Friday, Feb. 25 stating that Johnstown's Vision Together 2025 plans to relocate up to 100 Afghani families to the area. In his statement, Burns cites a November 2021 memo he said was obtained from a citizen-journalist through a Right-to-Know request.

The memo obtained from Vision Together 2025, detailed the organization’s proposed plan that seeks state and federal funding and is based on conversations with the Pittsburgh Mayor’s office, state officials and national non-profits in the sector. An early draft of the memo obtained by Burns also described a call with the White House that allegedly took place on Nov. 8.
