Meet Kim Yedlosky, Easton City Council Candidate

Kim Yedlosky, a long-time resident of Easton’s West Ward and corrections officer at the Northampton County Jail, is running for Easton City Council. Yedlosky, a graduate of Northampton Community Collage, is married and has one son.

Kim Yedlosky claims City Council has ignored the West Ward neighborhoods in favor of downtown beautification projects.

She also wants to see a higher police presence throughout the city’s West Ward to ensure greater safety for Easton’s residents. She favors an aggressive approach to blighted properties and wants to encourage home ownership in the West Ward by reducing taxes and easing "burdensome" regulations.

“I look forward to serving my neighbors in the West Ward and working to make the whole city a safe and enjoyable place to live,"  she states.

She is a Republican.

    Kim may be just what Easton needs. She's not an insider and she won't be a rubber stamp for everything Panto wants, just because he wants it.
    As an Easton resident I will support her in any way I can. It is refreshing to see new faces willing to step up to public service.
    GO Kim GO!

    So she can guard criminals during the day and at night, the crooks on council starting with Sal Panto, biggest one of them all!

    Easton already has a political party and doesn't need outsiders asking questions. She probably doesn't like Panto's $14 million debt boondoggle to build a combined city hall/bus terminal/jockstrap museum/sushi bar/head shop/thrift store. Rejected!

    Bernie, you are great at investigations. Find out about her DUI, being thrown out of the brickhouse for fighting, or the alcohol/ drug use. This is what im hearing, would like you to investigate.. And the Demcandidate,.is he on the up and up?

    I applaud Kim on her quest to represent us, here in Easton. If you travel through the West Ward, it's clear that we're in a state of decline. Mayor Panto and company are doing what most inner city politicians do, spend money we don't have on pet projects that don't benefit us; all at the expense of future generations. The problem is, people are leaving Easton, so there may not be a future generation. As we've seen in our recent political history, democrat isn't synonymous with caring. Why would we expect better results if we keep electing people satisfied with things getting worse. I believe Mrs. Yedlowsky would be a big step in right direction for all of Easton.

    WOW, I live in the West Ward and I see improvements every day. If she thinks the "Oh poor West Ward" is going to get her votes she is wrong. The city has restored two blighted drug houses on my block and now two nice families live there. I understand that they have done more than 20 in the WW. All of theplaygrounds have been renovated, the street sweeping program is wonderful andcrime is way down. C'mon man stop berating us if you ar eone of us, we have enough trouble with the outsiders who still look down on us like it was ten years ago.

    Why not accentuate the positives.....and BOH, you yourself have told us how well we are doing and that the neighborhood is doing well.

    I am not particularly troubled by a DUI, although I saw NONE. I believe everyone is entitled to one DUI. If you're Irish, you're entitled to two.
