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.

Federal Election Commission Fines Mayor Callahan
Agency rules that mayoral campaign funds were used improperly on run for Congress. September 27, 2011
yes. I posted a blog about it.
ReplyDeleteAt a recent borough council meeting, Mayor Hoffman was quoted as saying, "I’d like to get all of this behind us." (See http://lowermacungie.patch.com/articles/macungie-mayor-its-time-to-move-on.)
ReplyDeleteAnd now, in this video, he says, "Some people just don't learn, and, unfortunately, it seems like my borough council is some of those people."
I'm pretty sure making that sort of statement is not going to help reduce the tension between the mayor and the council and help everyone "move forward."
I saw someone that looked very much like the Macungie Mayor at Pioneer Days in New Tripoli today. I'm not certain it was him, but I am pretty sure. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thank all who turned out today. There were a number of local public officials from about our town who did not show up and I must say our local state state rep. also gave a showing.
Thanks for all about Lehigh County and its leaders who did show up. I think it means something when our leaders show up . . . and maybe something else when they don't. Its even better when its leaders from our neighboring communities outside NT who care to drop by!
Yeah, it was either Mayor Hoffman or Santa Claus. Either way, we win! Thanks!
