The simple reality is that Cheney has not evwen been charged with anything, to say convicted. So I think it is safe to say Fuomo is more corrupt.

Fuomo, who has been convicted of corruption, is obviously more corrupt than Cheney, who has never been charged.

Guv, it is entirely incorrect to tag an entire party as a result, especially guys running for local office. Those are the antics of a lever puller. <br /><br />These guys have indicated they do support cuts in the form of stoppinmg wage increases that exceed the county's rate of growth as well as requiring the county workforce to contribute a little more to their own health care. <br /><br />Jacob, you certainly can't, as a general principle, always support a government that spends more than it takes in.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-44853948149182632322009-08-01T03:14:52.037-04:002009-08-01T03:14:52.037-04:00"I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal re..."I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility and allow individuals to keep more of the money they earn."<br /><br />Wonder how this works with the Special Election scheduled 5 weeks before the General Election that will probably cost Lehigh County tax payers $200,000 before they are reimbursed by the State and will end up costing State Taxpayers close to $500,000.<br /><br />I wonder what the local candidates think about this decision and support that decision made by the Lt.
