Norco Councilman Tony Branco Loses His Day Job
Northampton County Councilman Tony Branco has complained, even to me, of his long daily commute to and from his job as Douglass Township manager in Berks County. Unfortunately, he lost his job there a few days ago. I don't know any details. He does have a commanding knowledge of township and borough laws, and is a likable fellow, so this surprises me. I hope he finds a new job closer to home.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence.

I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Wow, that's near me so he did have a long commute.
ReplyDeletetony's a good man. hope he finds something.
ReplyDeleteAny idea about his contract with Douglass Twp. The Township minutes in July 06 show his appointment subject to an employment contract, the terms of which are not reflected in the minutes. Someone should get the contract. (That contract should be public, wages and benefits are public info, wonder if they'll give it you you. ) Funny also, the June 06 minutes reflect that the Township refused to read aloud the prior manager's reason for leaving, they would not read his resignation letter, like thats some sort of secret. Doubt you'll ever learn why Branco was terminated. Love to see that contract! Wonder if he got a severance bonus.
