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.
A complete waste of money and a lie about judges working 15 hours to support the waste. Cameras won't keep judges safe. They simply provide evidence after the crime. Here's an idea: how about Panto cleans up his city, at least to the point where judges may reach their cars in safety. Good God. The courthouse isn't even safe in Panto's Easton.

ReplyDeleteBernie,
State Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin was
arraigned today on Criminal Complaints filed in Allegheny County. She was immediately suspended from her duties.
Check it out!
What did she do wrong?
ReplyDeleteI have a post.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad to see that you are posting the price tag. Council did very little to investigate the details of this proposal. Now I can see three democrats easily jumping to throw away money at a moments notice but not one republican nor the self described fiscal conservative himself Ken Kraft even bothered to question the price or even the efficacy of it usefulness. Little disappointing.
ReplyDeleteSeth, Before this matter comes up in County council, it is reviewed in the Finance Committee. That meets the day before, on Wednesday, starting at 4 PM.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to tell you I missed that meeting so I do not know exactly what was discussed. I wish i could tell you definitively that price was or was not discussed. But if you recall, the Sheriff was there at Council's request bc Steve DeSalva was unable to answer all their questions.
I suspect that price, along with other questions about response time, were discussed.
Also, one can be be a Democrat and be fiscally conservative. One can be an R and be a spendthrift.
It was nice to see you at the meeting.
The cameras will be monitored 24/7 by the 911 center and during working hours by the sheriff's department as well. So If someone is being attacked or there is vandalism it will be immediately detected and law enforcement can be called to action. Plus then there is evidence of the crime. There are many evening meetings at the courthouse and those who park in the garage will be able to feel a little safer. There were three bids and this company was the lowest. Money will come from the bond that funded the parking garage renovations.

ReplyDelete@ Seth Vaughn:
ReplyDeleteYou kidding right, you make 1 meeting and you jump to conclusions and mention my name.
At least I pay taxes in the county, and actually have been living on my own since I was 18 yrs old.
And YOU?
Wow, Ken Kraft has a Ron Angle temper.
ReplyDeleteOnly when someone makes foolish comments. If he had a legitimate reason to slam Council, if we really did not review something and just spent money, then he would have every right to slam us and me.
ReplyDeletehey K Kraft, why didnt the garage already have a security system? one would think it is standard operating procedure to secure facilities that park judges and jurors alike... pennywise and puind foolish
ReplyDeleteI can't answer that question, I have been on Council since January, the garage and the new addition have been there for what 10 years now and the garage much longer? You will have to ask someone who was on council in that time period
