Stoffa Whittles Down List of Sheriff Prospects

Northampton County Exec John Stoffa told the Personnel Committee yesterday that he has whittled down an initial list of 36 Sheriff applicants to 10, and will interview those people. His top three selections will also be reviewed by President Judge McFadden.

Stoffa also told the Committee that, notwithstanding their wishes that his selection be someone who resides in Northampton County, he feels it is more important to appoint "the best possible person we can get."

Sheriff Jeff Hawbecker and Chief Deputy Tom Marchetti will be retiring on October 30. Northampton County is the only county in the Commonwealth that appoints, instead of electing, its Sheriff.

Hopefully Judge McFadden will throw all three names out if they are just old friends of Stoffa. We have enough of those on the payroll.

4:50 AM in the morning, Bill? Your getting up early, just to disgrace the memory of your daughter with your diatribe. Nobody feels for your loss anymore. Your anger has consumed you. That's the sad part. You don't even know it.

Bernie,

Irregardless if Angle is serious about becoming sheriff, win or lose; I hope he parades around in his Idi Amin uniform.

Peace, ~~Alex

"Irregardless?" Don't you possess a college degree, Alex? Holy smokes. Poor Sr. Maria Benedetta is rolling over in her grave.

We need to change that drastically. Go to www.usa1911.com and www.sheriffmack.com and see why!

I would write a respone to Anon 1:44 PM, but I don't want to violate the blog administrators rules regarding personal attacks / off-topic remarks and I don't want to upset Sister Maria Benedetta Frey in her eternal rest. Don't you like that run-on sentence, too?

Peace, ~~Alex
