In fact Southside Bethlehem can trace much of the progress to the Reibman initiatives. He also encouraged the county's economic Development Department that John Stoffa let languish for eight years. For Christ's sake, learn about reality before you post such stupid comments.<br /><br />JD Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-18831822367810192472015-04-30T19:59:57.735-04:002015-04-30T19:59:57.735-04:00Very classy of you, peter.

They have left or won't fill many jobs in Court Services. As I read that Section, only County Council can set the reasonable terms and conditions as to personnel within those divisions and the County shall (must) fulfill personnel services. As I understand it, County Council does this through their power of setting the budget.
