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.
decorating her office which she is hardly ever in. you know she has to run her private business first
ReplyDeleteShe's got the dem blame game line down pat, but it doesn't quite work here, does it?
ReplyDeletethe controller is just another callahan flunky. you can stack the deck anyway you want, blame whoever or whatever you want but 8.5 mill doesn't go away that easy.
ReplyDeleteyour 15 minues are up jc
GO FOR IT DIGI
Digi is bitter and biased because he lost to Meg...of course he is going to blame her. Old wounds take long to heal.
ReplyDeleteThe Schweder wannabe never lets go of the past. All his comments need to be taken with a grain of salt.
Spin, deflect and attack he who calls BS all you want. Even if DiGi believes Callahan to be the anti-Christ, -8.5 million is still -8.5 million, and it happened on her and the mayor's watch.
ReplyDeleteI think we should blame Bush...or Wall Street.
ReplyDeletePoint is well made. despite being a Republican, Holland was heavily funded in her race for Controller by all the Mayor's men. She is marginally better than Barron at the County level but then again she is an accountant and he is a pol.
ReplyDeleteShe is in his pocket. O"hare loved her when she ran, I wonder how he feels now.
anon 10.36. whether digi likes meg or not is not the point 8.5 mill is the point
ReplyDeletenice comment meg. blame it on a dead man. shows a lack of class and your true colors
All of you seem to have no idea what goes on in the City of Bethlehem --- (and I admit that my comments may appear to be biased since I'm the daughter of Meg Holland)
ReplyDelete1. Meg Holland's position is part-time and she spends at least 30 hours a week working on City of Bethlehem business -- she is onsite at her office at the city at least all day every Tuesday and Thursday and her private practice is blocks away from city hall - she does significant work from there and at home at night and on weekends.
2. Meg Holland does not work for Callahan and is not in his pocket(she actually perfers Dent)
3. Meg Holland has been cleaning up various financial issues and mismanagement at the City since she was elected -- the problem is that a lot had not been done in 30+ years therefore it TAKES TIME to get things changed - it doesn't happen over night - also with unions involved some changes take even longer...
4. Meg Holland has been sending memos and analyses to city council, the mayor and business adminsitrator since she was elected with recommendations how to cut expenses and correct inefficienies - some that have led to dramatic changes
Its extremely frustrating to read all of these ridiculous comments -- you all clearly have no idea what goes on -- why don't you set up a meeting with the Controller -- then you would have some idea!
Maybe you should do that Bernie. Bernie maybe you should also interview the auditors and ask them what they think about what Meg Holland has been doing...
All of your comments are ignorant and uninformed ... if I were my mom I'd ask DiGiacinto if he wants to take the job and let him go through all of the stress and difficult work... Meg Holland ran for Controller to help the CIty of Bethlehem - which she is doing ... but you're all too stupid to realize it.
"- some that have led to dramatic changes"
ReplyDeleteAre you sure she's a Republican? That sounds a lot like Obama's saved jobs meme.
What would the tab be without those dramatic changes?
Has anyone else noticed that on this video, DiGiacinto is calmly asking questions, but Reichard and Holland are answering in a most defensive manner?
ReplyDeleteAnd really - - Where was the mayor?
