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

    wait, if ron is appointed sheriff, that means we get rid of the biggest grandstander on council AND have somebody who will go around banging heads together in the sheriff's office. holy cow, do it! I actually think he would be good for this.

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

    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

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.
