Stoffa Names Spengler as NorCo Solicitor

John Stoffa welcomes Danny Spengler to his cabinet
Northampton County Executive John Stoffa has tapped a veteran, Bath Attorney Daniel Spengler, to replace Karl Longenbach as Solicitor next year. Council will be asked to confirm his appointment at their meeting tonight.

Spengler, a 1977 graduate of Villanova Law School, is no newcomer to county government. He served as an Assistant Solicitor under then Exec Glenn Reibman, and succeeded Jack Spirk as Solicitor.

Stoffa has set Spengler's salary at $56,782. It is a part-time position.

Updated 11:02 PM: Spengler was unanimously confirmed by Council tonight. Both Spengler and retiring Solicitor Karl Longenbach, who announced he had attended is 528th meeting, received a round of applause.

    No leave them vacant, given Stoffas's record it doesn't matter if they are filled or not.

    I confused Attorney Spengler with Attorney Mark Sigmon. I believe Sigmon is the NCAA wrestling official.

    Hopefully, Stoffa appoints a new county executive and goes home. Then we all win.

    I think the 2-3 AM comments are from Reibman himself. That person has hated Stoffa from the beginning, like Reibman. He is bitter, like Reibman. He can't sleep at night, like Reibman.

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.
