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.
Good for Mr. Reibman, he deserves their support.
ReplyDeleteIs this who Fleck represents?
ReplyDeleteIt's an endorsement not votes
ReplyDeleteunion pukes endorse whoever will kiss their butts the most - this endorsement is a joke but them most unions are also
610: yes it is
ReplyDeleteYou have got to be kidding. Reibman's treatment of county employees are the reason the county went from three unions to eleven unions. He screwed them royaly and they threw him out of office. Not one county employee or their family members will forget that he froze their wages and wouldn't even consider a cola.
ReplyDeleteWhat the laborers fail to reconize is the thousands of county union jobs this guy screwed up!
ReplyDeleteGlenn will bring up the rear in this race. Should just drop out now, tell Pawlowski to kiss his azz, and throw his support to Callahan. If this is pumplowski's revenge on Northampton county, he can kiss my azz too!
ReplyDeleteActually union employees never had pay freezes. Also the pay freezes for non-union were one year, made up the following year.
ReplyDeleteMore employees lost positions under Stoffa then ever before.
How many households are represented by local 1174?
ReplyDeleteI will be convinced when Reibman gets the support of the local garbage collectors. He has been giving them a lot of business the last few years of his term. Remember those old mid-night paper shredding sessions? Those garbage collectors must have loved him!? Now he needs their backing more than ever!!!
ReplyDeleteWho else, too? The old Allentown Ambassadors baseball team. Remember the half built stadium that sat there half built for years? Some people ran off with the raw materials that were left there to rot. He could get the support of the baseball team, all of the franchise workers like the peanut vendors, the builders of the stadium, the criminals that stole all of the raw material, and the heavy equipment operators that had to raze the facility to make way for the strip mall and the fireworks business that is there now.
You see, he can get a lot of backers and supporters!
