At LANTA's web page, a small candle flickers for Robert Mitchell, the 13 year-old boy who lost his life yesterday when his out-of-control bike slammed into the front right corner of a LANTA bus traveling along Easton's Northampton Street.LANTA's Board Chairman, Fred Williams, and Executive Director Armando V. Greco were at last night's Northampton County Council meeting to present a new transportation plan. But before doing so, Chairman Fred Williams said this:
"Our thoughts and our prayers go out for this young boy, his parents and his family, and also the driver who was involved in this tragic event. It's a difficult time for all the people that are involved. But on behalf of the board of directors, the drivers, the staff of LANTA, we all mourn the loss of this young man and his tragic event."

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.
