Say Hi to Bob Werner

Rev. Mike Dowd performed the wedding ceremony for Bob Werner's oldest daughter. Their wives taught together. Werner considers Dowd a friend. But he's running against him for Northampton County Council.

I met Werner on Saturday, as my grandson and I waited in line for 20 hours to go through the 150th Pa. Civil War Roadshow in Easton. That took three minutes, after which we went to the Sigal Museum and refused to pay them $7 a head to tour another Civil War exhibit for another three minutes.

"We're a nonprofit," huffed one of the ladies behind the counter. "Yeah, you're also publicly funded, and your doors should be open for more than blue bloods, at least one frickin' day a year," I retorted as my grandson pretended he did not know me.

Bob missed that. He was working as a volunteer at the road show.

I hope to tell you more about his campaign in the months to come. I believe Mike Dowd is one of the finest members of Council that I've ever seen, but Werner seems like a class act himself.

    Finest members? Is that because he cowered under the berating of your mentor?

    And you waste ink on your little "fake reverend" rants.

    Whats worse, a fake reverend or a real reverand (whatever that means) who fails to put his faith into action.

    Oh yes, Peg Ferraro in this adult political world had the audacity of changing her position to the detriment of your favorite hooligan and now she is evil.

    You have a wonderful moral compass.

    Dowd needs to go!!! He NEVER stands firm on anything. He has been just a blur in every stage of his employment and is doing the same on council...Nevers stirs the pot, never makes noise just nods..i think he should be able to do more than that. Feel is is always just an ornament..!!! Just taking up a spot wherever he stands but not planted on any topic.
    We need new blood on council. SO TIRED of ANGLE AND HIS CRONIES!!

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.
