As a taxpayer, I see value in investing strategic projects to help our core cities so long as it is prudent spending. However, as voters, many expect a reasonable return of some of our tax dollars to sustain our communities, enhance our revenue generating corridors, and improve quality of life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-29031220583574720952010-02-18T20:48:40.802-05:002010-02-18T20:48:40.802-05:00Jane Ervin is the one who had the guts to raise ta...Jane Ervin is the one who had the guts to raise taxes when needed, it was her idea for the Ironpigs and now Cunningham takes all the creditAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-69045807454159089462010-02-18T10:33:50.707-05:002010-02-18T10:33:50.707-05:00I like the site and thank you for the link.I like the site and thank you for the link.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-46531209879901741902010-02-18T10:14:09.567-05:002010-02-18T10:14:09.567-05:00Thanks!

In reality, I don't think there's all that much difference between Don and Charlie Dent, who has an R behind his name. They are both youthful, affable and work hard at their jobs. <br /><br />Both of them seem to inspire hope in some, jealousy in others. <br /><br />Don had a scare in his most recent election, and Charlie had a scare a few years ago. <br /><br />But I haven't seen the word "feckless" used in some time.

Scott Ott did PA taxpayers a huge favor by rendering Cunningham worthless for any statewide position. He's another local D who couldn't win statewide office if he ran unopposed. Politically, Don Cunningham is a failure and a joke. The Commissioners will run the show. Don's lucky to still be in office and really doesn't matter any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-11423605279399757552010-02-18T05:21:04.721-05:002010-02-18T05:21:04.721-05:00Cunningham will run away from his responsibilities...Cunningham will run away from his responsibilities before his term is over just like he did in bethlehemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-50715152654661508792010-02-18T01:47:08.573-05:002010-02-18T01:47:08.573-05:00It is so uplifting to have such an astute, intelli...It is so uplifting to have such an astute, intelligent and suave County Executive leading the way through actions and inspiration. he is a talented leader and Lehigh County is lucky to have him. Unfortunately in Northampton County we have an inept, morose and uninspiring lifetime bureaucrat that would bore a rock. He is unimaginative and depressing. People of Lehigh County are very fortunate. You have a future filled with hope, we have a future filled with fear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
