Dauphin County Comm'r Jeff Haste an Eagles Fan
Dauphin County Commissioner Jeffrey T. Haste spoke at Northampton County town halls concerning Gracedale. He came up to explain how privatization worked at a public nursing home in Dauphin County. Patient care actually improved. The number of indigent patients increased. And although some of the union workers walked away, most of them are back, and getting more money (and less benefits) than they did as County workers.
But the one thing that struck me about Haste was the lid. He was wearing a suit, the usual uniform of an elected official. But he also sported an Eagles cap, and told me he supports Philadelphia teams.
And in Steeler Country? Democrat or Republican, he gets my vote.
I suspect we'll be seeing a lot more o those Eagles' caps now that they have become the Giantkillers.

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.
Maybe the cap was part of the act he was putting on for the locals.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, what politcal party is Mr. Haste? Just curious.
I have not checked, but he's probably an R. He had a sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteSteeler country? Harrisburg is a mix of Steeler, Baltimore, Washington and Philly fans. there is no majority of fan population there.
ReplyDeleteAnother Angle stooge. I would check on deed transfers involving Angle in this guy's County. Might be interesting.
