It's one helluva' way to start out in government. Having just been appointed to Lehigh County's Board of Commissioners, Mike Schware's first real vote was on whether to over-ride a Don Cunningham veto on an increasingly controversial reassessment.

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.
Poor Schware....no comments yet and 44 in the other LC thread.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a good guy. I hope he does well.
Just didn't want Mr. Schware to feel un-commented on.
I'm sure he'd like to keep it that way for now.
ReplyDeleteBernie who voted no to redristrictung?
ReplyDeleteAre you referring to the state seats or the Congressional seats?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry - to reassessment.
ReplyDeleteAccording to WFMZ:
ReplyDeleteLehigh County Commissioners voted to override the veto by County Executive Don Cunningham on the tax reassessment process.
The veto was overridden Wednesday night by a 8-1 vote.
Commissioner Thomas Creighton stood alone in voting against the reassessment.
Percy is a worn out old joke
