Leaving that whole issue out of it, he stands for the true intentions of what government is supposed to do...that is, to protect the taxpayers from union tyranny, financial hardship, waste, fraud and abuse that is paid for by all of us. <br /><br />Give this man a break for heavens sake!

NO ONE has the right to act disrespectful to fellow council members or constituents that wish to speak at meetings. I say touche' to Ann McHale....you can tell she has had enough and has finally been one of the few council members that has finally begun to stand up to Ron Angle! This is ALL you see anymore is Ron Angle's display of bad behavior and everyone just simply says....."Ron is Ron". Well hopefully the voters will say we have had enough of Ron is Ron and get him out of ANY public office. I'm sure Pen Argyl School Board is glad he is gone and most residents of Northampton County will be glad when he is gone from council also.
