Subject: Human Services
Hello Council Members,
It is my pleasure to announce that I will seek a seat on county council in the upcoming election, and look forward to a safe, healthy and happy campaign season. I would like to offer my opinion on the Human Services new building project. Just don't do it. West Easton Borough is taxing me out of my home, and one more tax dollar raised is a very bad idea. I see an expensive lease as a very poor use of taxpayer money. If you would like to sell the Betchtel and Wolf Buildings, I encourage that. I would use the proceeds to build an extension onto Gracedale by competitive bid, and bond out the rest if you must. I realize that the county human services employees prefer a more posh environment to work in, however, they should all be grateful to have a decent job with a steady paycheck in this god awful economy. Tough it out, and do this the right way. NO Lease. Please forward to Peg, her email didn't send.
Regards,
Tricia Mezzacappa

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.
Hey Bernie is this for real? I wonder if Angle and Heckman will endorse her viewes.
ReplyDeleteAt this point I think she could beat all thiose losers except for Peg. Now that shows how bad they are.
ReplyDeleteCusick, Deitrich, Gibert, Thery are toast. Why do you think the "Tea Party" Republicans, so quick to want to dump Gracedale, have signed on to an unnecessary, overly expensive new building. The only way they will get their names on the commerative plaques. Otherewise they are not even footnotes in county history.
Maybe nuts but surely accurate.
ReplyDeleteShe's wacky. But she's right on this. They say that even a blind squirrel (drugged, psychotic, narcissistic, armed, dangerous, convicted, etc.), finds a nut, eventually.
ReplyDeleteBernie,I have to agree with the statement about the people that the county employ not the buildings. As I view into my own little modest tunnel toward my modest little retirement in the future ,I have reservations about TAX costs here and may need to move to SPAIN or BELIZE,Ha!I state again we need leadership that discourage by retaining programs and requirements of conduct ,less service in this county of less that 125,000 real taxpayers.Good morning to everyone it will be a good day.
ReplyDeleteThis woman is mentally unstable. Yet, reportedly, she has a pistol permit. Now she is running for Council. Another Angle type if you would. She has no clue about what County employees want or not want. Her comments about a posh environment are just stupid. The voters will see through this real quick. If any council members are reading her silly email, simply ignore it please. You do not need to listen to or even consider comments from people who have mental issues.
ReplyDeleteShe could not even win a seat in her own little boro..and she wants a county seat? This is laughable. Is there not a mental test that should be administered to all those seeking elected office? There should definitely be in her case!
ReplyDeleteWe all elected a black man to be the president to United States of America! I always thought that to be an impossibility and now the Monority Majority carries a strong voice in the USA because in these hard economic times we are the populus that is the highest and the mental people are in high standings too!! Because while most are low functioning there are those that are high functioning!!!! There are many great people in history that have had mental illness that have created things we today take for granted¿

It's a bizarre email in which she talks about a "safe" campaign season and lams county workers for wanting a "more posh environment." I was unaware that wanting a roof over your head - one that does not cave in on you - is wanting a posh environment. "Tough it out" she says. "[T]hey should all be grateful to have a steady job," she says. Not one word about the 18,000 people who consume human services.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Mezzacappa is against this lease should make lease foes think twice.

Thi is something she recently posted at The Exoress Times webpage, with obvious reference to me:
"Tricia Mezzacappa
Hi Jimp, I dont usually respond to anons, but here it goes.
Maybe I'M scared, but I dont think I'm paranoid, or a gun nut. See, law enforcement doesnt always work for insignificant nobody's like myself. They dont always serve and protect, either. When armagedon comes a runnin towards my house, I stand armed and ready. I picture armegedon about 5 ft 9 and balding, little eyeglasses on the tip of his nose, and enough fat flaps to insulate a bull. Deep breath, aim, shoot, and....one hollow point goes right through his skull, he's dead before he hit the ground, kersplat....PERFECT"
The woman is a menace.
While some great people have suffered from mental illness, they have been good people with kind hearts and who did not threaten to kill people. She is dangerous and as mean as cat shit.
ReplyDelete18,000 people who rarely of ever come into a county office. Employees being ;laid opff entiore departments at a time. Heckman was right on that. Even the union business agent agreed. Stoffa is using his old firends drama and fear to get his legacy.
ReplyDeleteBesides it's not luny Mezzaa's fault Stoffa has let the
Wolf building rot for seven years in order to get "his" and Mohr's building up. This isn't abut the consumers. Why did Stofha tell employees if they don't back him they will never have a nice place to work for twenty years.
What a self-serving azzhole. That will be his legacy no matter what.
Would you please stop hounding this woman? you need serious help.
ReplyDeleteWilliam House will be her campaign manager and Earl has signed on to deliver her concession speech live from her bunker.
ReplyDelete"Would you please stop hounding this woman? you need serious help."
ReplyDeleteThe Blog Mentor would rather I not tell you that this emotionally unstable liar is running for public office. Again. Had I written nothing about her, very few people would know just how bad she is, and on so many different levels.
For The Blog Mentor and Mezzacappa, rolling around on the floor and foaming at the mouth is just another day.
ReplyDeleteThis is the type of Person we need in office, She is also supported by our local leaders.
I can see it now, Reibman & Mezzacappa making decisions on behalf of the residents of Northampton Cty.
ReplyDeleteLet's see:
Dumb & Dumber - Fruit & NutCake - Anybody home & oink oink & both can sleep with their eyes wide open...
Trish is freakin' hot
ReplyDeleteEven if voters were to agree with Mezzacappa on the building project, any candidate should be weighed and measured by more than one issue. It's scary to even imagine this woman being elected, appointed, or even hired in a role that would have her dealing with the public, let alone making rational decisions involving policy.
ReplyDeleteYou only need to visit her blog (if you can call it that) and see that she has some serious problems. She is vindictive, insulting, and shameless in how she writes about anyone that disagrees with her. She supplied her own negative campaign against herself and the one thing about the Internet is that it is forever. She can't permanently delete what she supplied for the public to see.
Politics is not where she belongs and I imagine the GOP will distance themselves from her quickly. I'm sure they realize that she is a huge liability for any GOP candidate in the Lehigh Valley.
I wonder what her campaign office address is? I would like to send her a campaign donation of Wellbutrin and Lithium for her entire headuarters of campaign office workers. The really loser in this whole scheme of things is Earl the Pig. He is guilty by association. He really can't get out of this situation.
ReplyDelete"This is the type of Person we need in office, She is also supported by our local leaders."
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt that even one local leader will support her. Name one. They will instead run from her. She is poison.
this is almost as sad and frightning as donchez running for mayor in bethlum
ReplyDeleteIf Tricia Mezzacappa is afraid to be in the same room with Bernie O'Hare, as he claims in court filings, why did she decide to run for this particular public office? She knows O'Hare is a fixture at County Council meetings. In those court filings, she says she suffers from situational anxiety in the presence of O'Hare. She says her anxiety is so bad she would have to testify by closed circuit TV from another location rather than inhabit the same courtroom as O'Hare. My conclusion is Mezzacappa actually suffers from situational veracity, not situational anxiety.
ReplyDeleteShe wont even be able to get the 1000 signatures needed to be on the ballot.
ReplyDeleteShe wont even be able to get the 1000 signatures needed to be on the ballot.
ReplyDeleteI think it's only 250 and $100.
ReplyDeleteSo Tricia Maezzaloony needs 250 Signatures? She's got that many different personalities in her head. If she hooks up with the Blog Mentor and his 500. she is golden..... as long as Voter Reg doesn't check to see if they are real people. Maybe she could hold a pig roast to raise the $100 bucks?!
ReplyDeleteIt is only 250 signatures for a county council seat, but most candidates exceed that number by at least 50% to ensure they have enough if signatures are challenged.
ReplyDeleteFor betting purposes, let's make the over/under of how many she can get at 50.
50? I'll take the under there. Bernie..how many votes did she actually garner the last time she ran for W.Easton council? I have no idea and will guess..37!
ReplyDeleteShe got 78 votes in her bid for West Easton Borough Council. And those came BEFORE most of the craziness. Since that time, I think everyone steers clear of her in W Easton. The NorCo GOP has been warned about her. I don't believe she'll get any support from them.
ReplyDelete"as long as Voter Reg doesn't check to see if they are real people. "
ReplyDeleteThey don't, but I can guarantee you that I will check every one of them myself.
Does this woman have a chance of winning?
ReplyDeleteDoes this woman have a chance of winning?
ReplyDeleteHer only chance is to RTKL everything she can about the existing county council and the financing. She has to find a smoking gun that gives her an issue she can focus the people's attention on and divert attention away from her own shortcomings.
She should start by requesting information on council members' submitted expenses for reimbursement, financial interests, and other county issues. She should submit these RTKL requests on a daily basis, perhaps submitting more than 1 each day in order to keep the county council too busy to wage any type of campaign against her.
She'll need to attend every county council meeting and contributing her thoughts when the public comment portion of those meetings gives her the opportunity to be heard.
We realize that she won't be able to give West Easton her knowledge and expertise on issues close to home, as she embarks on her quest to improve our county, but we're willing to make the sacrifice in order that she might do, on a county level, what she's done for West Easton.
If she isn't seen at West Easton council meetings, or is unable to submit RTKL requests any longer in West Easton, because of her commitment to running for a county council seat, we of West Easton won't hold it against her.
Go Trish! Stay focused on the county! Show all these naysayers that you are a force to be reckoned with!
Sounds like a plan.
ReplyDeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteIt's the only one I could think of that will make her someone else's problem for awhile.
Mezzacappa has my vote, the council meetings would be pure gold
ReplyDeleteBernie, IM hearing that Kelly Gross is considering a county council run, any truth in that?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteKelly and Mezza should run as a Team for Council.
I've read her blog, and must say that I worry about your safety, Bernie. She's...I don't even know what the psychiatric diagnosis would be. Megalomaniac?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, what IS her disorder? She constantly contradicts herself, but I don't think she even realizes it. Does she believe what she writes? Or does she just think that people are so stupid they won't catch the inconsistencies?
I am finished with west easton and their empire of tyranny, tax hikes and waste. In order to be successful in any election there, one must have a 7th grade education, as does Tom Nodoline (who I heard is running for Mayor) or the inability to subsist or harmonize anywhere outside the confines of. 5 mile West Easton. Broad minds who think outside the box are treated like Nelson Mandela, subjected to Marshall Law, and treated like a treasonous war criminal. The current cartel who governs that Borough will all reign on another 50 years until they croak in council chambers, after taxing themselves and all citizenry out their houses. West Easton is on its way to being the most expensive place to live in America.
ReplyDeleteWest Easton is where the 7 Horsemen of the Apocalypse reside and where Hitler escaped to, after faking his own death.
ReplyDeletePeople who live there only do so because they are under the spell of witches and warlocks that run the town.
There is a secret military base under borough hall that is used for torturing residents.
It's good to see Tricia was able to ward off the mind control rays with her aluminum foil hat.
Kelly Gross has been urged to run since last year. The best Council people are not the ex-teachers or the the legislative aides to state reps and state senators or the true believers who insert themselves into county parties.
ReplyDeleteThe best Council people are those who have served on boro council, a township board, city council, or who has worked and built credibility as a volunteer.
Take a look at the current council. Newbe Bob Werner, an ex-teacher, is a bit of a blowhard. Quarry worker Scott Parsons is light years ahead of him. Difference? Parsons served on a boro council.
The people who works in these small governments really care, do not give a shit about politics. They spend hours making sure that the park is open or the flower pots are watered or the pool is closed or the dog park has bags for dog refuse. Little things. To improve quality of life.
Kelly Gross is one of those people. She has spent countless hours volunteering for her tiny boro. he has been going to meetings since age 7, much like BT Manager Howard Kutzler started his local service working at the Northampton pool. She has spent two years fending off an insaniac and has done so with great class, refusing to lower herself to that person' level.
I know she is being urged to run, and I am one of the persons urging her. But the decision will be hers.
Is she a D or an R?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do not think it matters in County government except for the extremists, she is a Democrat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great name for a political Party!

ReplyDeleteElection Committee:
ReplyDeleteRTKL everything? That is exactly why so many good people don't run for office. If a candidate wins a county council race using such a strategy then we truly deserve whatever we get.
C,
ReplyDeleteYou need to know the back story...
Mezzacappa conducts fishing expeditions at the expense of taxpayers. She has submitted about 140 RTKL's and appeals thus far in West Easton. Actual costs to West Easton have reached $10,000, factoring in staff time, legal fees to answer appeals, and other expenses that are incurred by her abusing the RTKL, in which she can only be charged 25 cents for copies.
Meanwhile, she bitches about taxes rising in a town of 1200 people who have to pay for her personal vendettas.
I get it.
ReplyDeleteOh please. "Taxing me out of my home?" I venture to guess I have a much bigger house than this loon and our taxes are under $2K a year.
ReplyDeleteThe NorCo GOP has been warned about her. I don't believe she'll get any support from them.
ReplyDeleteUm, they supported Angle and he's just as insane.
I may vote for her just to irritate the blogger. Comic relief in what otherwise is a meaningless government body.
I am finished with west easton and their empire of tyranny, tax hikes and waste.
ReplyDeleteNewsflash: West Easton is a postage stamp with 3 people living in it. No one gives a fuck about it or you.
