Scott Parsons marveled last night at the number of authorities, commissions and boards in Northampton County. There are 26 of them, with 180 people serving, most of them as volunteers. "I think it's great!" said the second-year Council member. As a veteran of borough government, he likely knows first hand how hard it is to find people who are willing to sacrifice their time to serve their community.
"A lot of people in this community take an active role," agreed Council president John Cusick. Always a teacher, he told a group of Easton High School students at the meeting that service on these committees is a good way to learn about local government.

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.
