Following the Money: Glenn Reibman Gives a Little Sugar

The 30-day post election reports are starting to trickle in, and that includes one filed by former Northampton County Executive Glenn Reibman. These days he's Director of Policy and Planning at The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, where he has a $78,000 yearly salary.

Between June 25 and November 26, he spent $7,500, making contributions to the following candidates: $2,000 to Steve Barron (Northampton County Controller); $2,000 to Lamont McClure and $1,000 to Tony Branco (Northampton County Council); $500 to DA John Morganelli; $500 to Sal Panto (Easton Mayor); $250 to Jeff Warren (Easton city council); $500 to Bill Leiner (Lehigh County Commissioner); and $500 each to Sue McCool and Theresa Merli (Monroe County Commissioner). And although Rendell's not running for anything, Glenn gave him $1,000, obviously for good will.

Here's my question. Reibman pretty much despises Ron Angle. There's no love lost between those two. So why no money for John Maher, who was trying to unseat Angle?

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.
