On Monday, I was asked to obtain and post the Committee assignments handed out at Thursday night's Northampton County Council meeting. Both Council President John Cusick and newly elected Ken Kraft obliged, and I've uploaded the assignments here.
John Cusick, Tom Dietrich, Lamont McClure and Peg Ferraro will continue to chair Finance, Human Services, Legal and Intergovernmental, respectively.
Ken Kraft will take over the reins of Council's busy Personnel Committee, which met ten times last year. Scott Parsons will head Open Space, dealing with questions of farmland preservation, environmentally sensitive land and park improvements. Peg Ferraro will take over the County's Economic Development Committee, which dovetails with her role as liaison to LVEDC. Bruce Gilbert will head Council long-range planning.
Parsons was assigned to the Finance Committee, which will present a problem. He works at a quarry during the day, and his hours are not as flexible as they are for other Council members. Frankly, I think Council should consider restructuring the ways its Committees meet,
Lehigh County Commissioner Committees meet for an hour before the scheduled Commisssioners' meeting, and it seems to work.

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.
U think the fools care about your concerns. that makes you even a bigger joke than the so called council. No wonder the pig woman mocked you
ReplyDeleteThis post is not for your edification, but for the people who wanted to know which Council members are serving on which committees.
