Orloski Brings in the Otter

Although Bethlehem has made clear it has no intention of enforcing its zoning ordinance against a huge "Charlie Dent for Congress" sign right across the street from City Hall, South Whitehall Township has already notified state senate candidate Rick Orloski that he needs a permit ... or else.

Now the permit only costs $5, but the ordinance also bans any signs that are out there more than 30 days before the election. Orloski claims he's already received a threatening letter from a zoning officer, who doesn't seem to have noticed the Republican signs in South Whitehall.

Enter Larry Otter, who's already sued all 2500 Pennsylvania municipalities at one time or another over the First Amendment or elections law violations or sometimes, just for the hell of it. He once tried to stick the County with a $2,470.78 bill to represent then Voting Registrar Debbie DePaul, who is now a drama queen somewhere. He even included $36.83 for dinner at Uncle Wesley's.

Larry's already drafted and filed a complaint, motion for preliminary injunction, brief and I'm sure he already has a big bill for South Whitehall. That township has fancier restaurants than Easton. Larry, who really is an otter, likes fish.
