A month ago, I told you that Diane Neiper will soon be resigning from Northampton County Council. At the end of last night's meeting, she confirmed she will resign as soon as she can settle on a new home in Camp Hill, closer to her loved ones. "We are feverishly packing."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.
Diane is "feverishly packing" to get on that lifeboat. Women and children first. We can hear the violins playing on deck. Sayonara, folks. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear there are politicians who will put family first, above being party mouth-pieces. Good for her! Best Wishes.
ReplyDeleteCouncil has operated so well with her on it. What a devastating loss. Now council won't get anything done. Oh wait, they didn't with Diane either.
ReplyDeleteSSDD.
She'll be replaced well before election day..
ReplyDeleteThey should appoint Jeff Stoffa
ReplyDeleteCharles Dertinger is top vote getter in the Spring and he will be top vote getter in the Fall ! Charles !
ReplyDeleteAnnon 2:11. That would mean he is open for close examination.
ReplyDeleteHow considerate of Diane.
ReplyDeleteNow instead of attending Northampton County Council meetings, she can stay home.
Diane had such great potential until she joined the Dillinger gang[Mc Cloor and Dertinger] She then became a do nothing but critize everyone Council member. She does deserve credit for resurrecting Human Services from no man`s land. Now that she is going it will end up back on the shelf
ReplyDeleteSay what you will about her, I didn't agree with her myself, but she was a hard worker, like Cusick. Actually, could have used more like her and less of McClure/Dertinger no-shows.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteWhat backshelf did she save Human Services from? She spent all her time pushing the Health Department.
ReplyDeleteShe hasn't done a thing about the Human Services deficit.
I think Heckman should go for the interim. At least he knows something.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know where Ron is ? How many jobs has he had so far in Lehigh County ? I`ve heard that you can never find him. I`m sure he`d be perfect... if you could find him
ReplyDeleteAnnon 12:27, Nice shot at Heckman from an anonymous coward. I called and spoke to him a couple times. If you have some shot to take, come out and make it.
ReplyDeleteAre you a New Dem.

Diane did as much for Human Services as Dirtinger did for OPen Space. Nothing.
