As The Morning Call notes, Democrat Dave DiGiacinto has collected three times as much money as his Republican opponent, Meg Holland. But what I find most interesting about the money battle in that race is the Democratic support that Holland has garnered.
Bethlehem Attorney Ed Redding, a behind the scenes playa, has risked excommunication by Bossman Joe Long and kicked in $500. Attorney Phil Hof has also contributed to Holland's campaign.

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. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. 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.
Holland's private practice includes expert testimony in legal matters which could result in the establishment of professional relationships with many attorneys. And her father , Bob Holland, was a well thought of attorney in Bethlehem.

ReplyDeleteDave DiGiacinto sent all of his mailers to residents of the City of Bethlehem, Bethlehem Township, Hanover Township and even some to Forks Township! Do we want a Controller who wastes probably $10,000 sending mailers to people who cannot even vote in a City of Bethlehem election? I think this is bad oversight on his part.
P.S. My grandfather (Bob Holland)was President of the Northampton County Bar Association... and my mom and I work daily with attorneys on litigation, forensic accounting, and business valuation cases...
i believe there are a lot more dems supporting meg holland than one may think
ReplyDeleteThis appears to be yet another of the Two warring camps in Bethlehem picking their candidates regardless of party. Bethlehems own version of the war of the roses.
ReplyDeleteHope it doesn't last as long.
