Trade Mission to Lehigh County

Earlier this week, I bragged that "Employee Online" is scheduled to be operational in Northampton County sometime next year, and will enable to workers to access their own benefits themselves. Yesterday, Lehigh County's Frank Kane burst my bubble and told me they've been doing that for the past five years.

"Real cutting edge technology, eh Bernie?"

I immediately changed the subject and demanded to know why no Northampton County schools are included in Lehigh County's Straight A program.

"Maybe because we built the stadium, Bernie. Do you want to buy half?"

"Will you take Gracedale?"

"Sure."

So there you have it. A 50% interest in Coca Cola Park for Gracedale. No need to thank me.

    I would not take the deal Lackawanna and Luzurne counties are in a battle royale over a baseball stadium. Besides gracedale is probably worth more money in the long run if your buddies would run it right.

    Why not move old folks to Coca Cola Park and stuff 'em full of Big Porkers and Cinnamon Nuts until they "exit" the stadium.

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.
