Scissorhands' LV Proteges Fare Poorly

LV candidates who used campaign maven Tom "Scissorhands" Severson fared poorly in Tuesday's election.

1) Judicial candidate Jim Narlesky. - Finance records reveal payments to Severson firm Precision Marketing totalling $48,849. Jim, in his third try for judge, missed getting on either ballot.

2) Magisterial candidate Jackie Taschner. - She paid Precision Marketing $7,666. She got on the Republican ballot, but missed on the Democratic side.

3) Bethlehem City Council Candidate Joe Leeson. - He paid Serverson's firm $1,674. Despite being an incumbent, he finished fifth out of six candidates for just four openings.

4) Lehigh County Comm'r Candidate Mark Prinzinger. - According to his campaign finance report, he paid Severson's Precision Marketing at least $1828.50. This sum does not include the cost of a negative mailer on the weekend before election. He went down in flames to Dr. Percy Dougherty, 58% to 42%.

Taschner did pretty well actually. She won a nomination and got the most votes. Otherwise though, an awful performance. There are a lot of consultants out there in PA, I have to question what this guy brings to the table.

Jim Narlesky, Just imagine if this man had donated $40,000 to local charities. He would have been considered a hero.
