Lehigh County Bags $1 Million for Neglected and Abused Children

Jane Ervin and Don Cunningham, former political foes, will let bygones be bygones this Wednesday. Ervin, now CEO of Community Services for Children, will join the Lehigh County Executive Cunningham for a joint news conference on Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 11 a.m. They've received a $1 million federal Recovery Grant to provide developmental assistance to abused and neglected infants and toddlers, as well as support services to their caregivers to prevent future abuse.

During times of recession, the demand for human services generally increases. This might actually save a few innocent lives.

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.
