Pennsyltucky Politics: R.I.P.

Although I'm just a local blogger with no journalistic training, Brett Lieberman at Pennsyltucky Politics always had encouraging words. He often wrote to me back channel with advice or a comment about a local issue.

Capitol Ideas calls Lieberman a "mainstay of Pennsylvania political journalism for more than a decade." We all lose when voices like his are downsized.

Fortunately, Brett has already picked up a temporary position at The Forward, a highly respected New York-based publication described as “The Wall Street Journal of Jewish newspapers.” I always thought that was Molovinsky on Allentown.

I will miss his ability to cut through all the political smokescreens as well as his gentle humor.

Hope to read you again, Brett!
