Yesterday, I told you that Lehigh County Commissioner Glenn Eckhart has graciously offered to foot the bill for security during the final two weeks of basketball games played by kindergarten through third-graders at Salisbury Township's Truman Elementary. School officials are rightfully upset at the petty vandalism by older kids who enter the building during games and have demanded this precaution.It's beginning to appear that the kids will be able to get one last week of hoops. The Salisbury Youth Ass'n is working on a plan to salvage the final week and will advise Eckhart of the cost.
Eckhart, who coached there for thirteen years, is likely to this expense from his own pocket. But to be honest, I'd have no problem with him using campaign funds. In fact, I wish more politicians offered campaign funds for worthy projects that benefit kids.

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.
