How can you call it a park if it doesn't allow dogs? <br /><br />The nicest parks in the Lehigh Valley are in Allentown and they all allow dogs, even Treadler Park, the nicest of them all. When you were a kid, do you remember dog crap being a problem at parks? It seems the anti-dog crowd complain that their precious children would be rolling around in piles of feces if we allowed the dreaded canines into the park.

I would believe that this smoking ban would be considered a local ordinance and therefore PSP would not act on it. I assume the Sheriffs Department would be allowed to enforce it, but that seems like a waste of resources (any law enforcement time spent on a no smoking violations pretty much is)<br /><br />Hank_HillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-80936073479087504362015-07-18T11:37:23.986-04:002015-07-18T11:37:23.986-04:00If Peg was so into Party politics as you say, grac...If Peg was so into Party politics as you say, gracedale would have been sold already.

I believe it is time to study the issue and then make an educated decision. I have an open mind on the issue, would want to review the charter thoroughly and then decide if it can be overhauled. One problem with home rule is the dearth of case law. There is<br />Much more interpretation in courts of the commissioner form of government, and thus more certainty. I also like the insistence on inclusion of the minority party. But there are thingS I like about home rule. If this kind of commission were established, this would be the one time I might run for office despite my many shortcomings.

Ex-smokers are the biggest zealots when it come to smoking bans. They are offended by catching a whiff of smoke when they pass employees smoking outside the courthouse. As a lifetime non-smoker I could care less. Most of those employees know they are killing themselves slowly with this habit, so let them deal with that bigger issue. Smoking on the grounds of county property is unenforceable and a total waste of government powers.
