I agree Panto has balls, but i find that he likes to bully his way in argument instead of using logic and facts. In argument, he has been dishonest. His claim that one and all pay permit fees, for example, is dishonest. His claim that there was nothing wrong with Easton's parking ordinance is a flat out lie. They were violating due process and had completely failed to adopt an enabling ordinance. There were problems with the commuter tax, and that ordinance had to be changed, but he claimed all was well. All of this is dishonest, so I would not give him an A for integrity. I'd give him a C.

In nearly two years in office, what have they really done to improve the quality of county services or facilities, or the safety of its employees or the public? Brown is obviously bored with his monarchy and is making slip-shod decisions, likely influenced by his fraudulent sidekick, Cathy Allen. If he even finishes this term in office, he will not run for re-election. He thought the county would be his own personal business to run the way he wanted, through overpaid consultants and cronyism. With his poor business practices he couldn't even run a neighborhood bodega.

I...Actually Bernie, that translation is inaccurate. It isn't that simple. To translate it literally, it would mean "half" "hood". Like a hood of a coat. But to use in comparison the proper lingo "cappa nigra: like a black hooded coat or what the Dominican Order of Preachers where more of a shawl like cloak. So to put it in its proper context, it would mean that someone would be inappropriately dressed. Literally translating to how we would use it in America: half-cocked or wing-nut. There's more to it than that, but trust me, wing-nut or half-cocked is a much better and more accurate translation.

This is not about saying hello to people wi...Sal, <br /><br />This is not about saying hello to people with whom there are mnere political disagreements. You know that. Some of my best friends, including Ron Angle, are people with whom I rarely agree about national issues. <br /><br />I have generally supported your administration, but have disagreed about (1) the ethics of a business relationship between developer Mark Mulligan and a RDA employee; (2) the commuter tax; and (3) the Panto Parking Police due process violations. None of this was personal criticism of you or even your top officials. It was inteneded to promote good government, and I believe every one of my criticisms was and is valid. <br /><br />Somwehere along the line, you became personally offended by my criticism. You lashed out. You exchanged emails with a troll currently being sued by Lehigh County DA Jim Martin for libel. You bashed me, and that troll was only too happy to forward those exchanges to me. <br /><br />But what was really pathetic was when you took to Facebook and engaged in a personal attack aimed directly at me, sinply because you disagreed with me. Your fawning Facebook sycophants, who had no clue what was really going on, readily agreed. You used the power of your office to stifle criticism. And it failed. <br /><br />After being personally attacked in such a public fashion, I am not going to pretend we're pals. Because you were with a child who adores his grandfather, and I have no desire to give this young man any reason to think otherwsise. The boy could think I was deaf, hard of hearing or a jerk. But he would have no reason to think less of his grandfather. <br /><br />I handled that situation the right way. I could have put on a smile and pretended like you did, but I am not the phony you are. I am not running for anything and have no compelling reason to kiss anyone's ass. I don't care if I have 1 or 7,000 readers. <br /><br />Sal, there is no "if." You know your comments upset me bc I told you they upset me. I also told a few of your pals, although I get the impression your sycophants don't like to disturb you with unpleasant topics like the truth. <br /><br />I will continue doing what I do. I will praise your administration when it does the right thing, and will criticize you when I think you are wrong. That is not personal. But personally, I think you are petty. <br /><br />If you want to apologize, do it on Facebook, which is where you insulted me. <br /><br />As for setting the record straight, send me the email that was sent to the County. That will set the record straight. It will show what Easton wants and what the County wants. My adddress is BOHare5948@aol.com.<br /><br />Incredibly, you now come on here and bash me for being concerned about the safety of county workers and the public. That is something you and the c ounty shoulkd be concerned about, not my story. You should be ashamed of yourself. <br /><br /> Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-44092245649908367242015-11-05T14:34:43.836-05:002015-11-05T14:34:43.836-05:00After the parking fiasco Sal Panto said he'll ...After the parking fiasco Sal Panto said he'll never be on this site again, come on Sal doesn't your word mean anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-38029237523706558142015-11-05T14:29:31.390-05:002015-11-05T14:29:31.390-05:00Who is the correct person to complain to at the co...Who is the correct person to complain to at the courthouse?Agent 99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06657162747854580758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-46541150771417073342015-11-05T14:21:20.648-05:002015-11-05T14:21:20.648-05:00The construction of Panto's posts are appallin...The construction of Panto's posts are appalling.
