Peg Ferraro To Take Office Next Week
Most elected officials must wait until January. But Peg Ferraro will take office as an at-large member of Northampton County Council sometime next week, as soon as election results are official. You see, Peg was actually running for a vacant seat. Although Tony Branco was appointed by fellow council members, he lacked the voters' stamp of approval. Voters trump council. Democracy.

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.
How about all elected and rejected take down their damn signs already!
ReplyDeleteDude, I still see signs around, but not many. I've seen McClure signs along Route 248 as recently as this morning, but he gets a pass because his election is not over. I still see a few for others in Easton and Forks, too. I'd agree that most of them are gone.

ReplyDeleteDude, There are still quite a few signs up out there.
Bernie, Is this really your post?

It's on MC webpage under the budget article for Easton.
No.
ReplyDeleteSomeone has taken the time and effort to attribute racist and antisemitic remarks to me in several posts at The MC forum. Obviously, the goal is to marginalize me.

ReplyDeleteIf the only signs you see remaining are Esther Lee's, you need to get out more! Further more, I hope that wasn't a racial attack. You obviously aren't driving around the county.
McClure, I've noticed, has more signs remaining than anyone else.
Without naming them all, I'll just say again that they need to take down the signs. They should be taken down as fast as they go up. I hope we don't have to argue about this now...
And yes, I'm always a jerk, thank you.
There's still a Dertinger for Congress sign along RT# 946.
