At the end of last night's Northampton County Council meeting, they all went into executive session to discuss potential litigation concerning the Bethlehem TIF. Now, Council Prez Angle had tried to talk about it publicly, but suddenly reversed course and decided he'd better do it behind closed doors, and off they went.
Morning Call reporter Jenna Portnoy, attending her first Council meeting, was on her feet in an instant. She flew up to the dais and blasted Solicitor Phil Lauer, telling him he was supposed to announce the reason for the executive session. She was right, too! He did make amends.
You go, girl!

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.

ReplyDeleteBernie, an honest question, when did Phil Lauer become council's solicitor, I thought he was one of Mr. Angle's attorneys, does this constitute a conflict? Carol
ReplyDeleteCarol, Phil was one of Angle's attorneys in some matters. After getting the gig on Council, he stopped representing Ron BC it would be a conflict.
