Glenn Eckhart to Discuss LC Budget on WAEB

I stopped listening to WAEB a few years ago, when Bobby Gunther Walsh and John Brinson once stated that they only wanted to hear from people who thought invading Iraq was a terrific idea. Don't tell anybody, but I finally tuned in last week to listen to Allentown watchdog Lou Hershman. He's not in it to help the unions or developers or as a springboard to his next political office. He just cares about the City, and that came across.

Walsh will host Lehigh County Comm'r Glenn Eckhart today.at around 8:45 AM on WAEB 790 AM. (You can livestream it here). Glenn will discuss the 16.!% tax hike looming in Lehigh County.

Northampton County Bulldog Ron Angle has already suggested that Lehigh start some buffalo hunting expeditions at the Trexler Game Preserve,and has offered to be a guide.

Lets see if he has any realistic solutions to the increase. Or will he along with the insane "boobyhatch" Walsh just piss on the plan with no realistic plan of their own.

Hell for any normal person would be being stuck in a room for all eternity with Walsh and Brinson. Yikes!! I repent!!!

The big question is this:

Will the Republican county commissioners – who hold the majority on county council – stand up for the taxpayers and oppose any budget that includes a tax hike?

In the past they have offered minor spending cuts, taken turns siding with the democrats to defeat those proposed cuts, and then voted along with big-spending democrat budgets.

It seems to me that if they are serious about this year’s budget, they should vote for an across-the-board spending reduction to balance the budget without a tax increase.

Anything else is just political grandstanding. We’re on to them.
