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.
As Chapman goes, so goes the world.
ReplyDeleteDixville Notch hasn't a thing on the noble bell weather of Chapman - small, but mighty.
ReplyDeleteAIDCOM ANDHOW MUCH DID REIBMAN PAY FLECK TO GET OUT THE VOTE FOR HIM IN CHAPMAN
ReplyDeleteI am sure it was in the millions.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Bangor Boro? How did the 2 Johns do in the town of his opponent? I heard Callahan had more votes than Brown.
ReplyDeleteI'll check that out. I just finished the tally in Bethlehem, where anonymous commenters said Callahan would lose.
ReplyDelete7:27 less republicans registered too. Jackass
ReplyDeleteChapman Borough.....the new County seat, for sure.
ReplyDeleteThis is another case of mismanagement by the county government. How many workers did we have at that polling place? One machine operator, One constable, one judge of elections, and we paid the rent for the polling place as well as a crew to deliver and later pick up the voting machine. Why can't you combine a small place like this?. Such a waste.
ReplyDeleteand all for six voters.
ReplyDeleteYou apparently lack the proper respect for mighty Chapman Borough.
ReplyDeletegod bless those 6 voters, atleast they are Americans and did their voting. Shame on all the other registered voters who did not particpate
ReplyDeleteTotal turnout in CHapman was 26 (4 absentee)
ReplyDeleteRepublicans 16 26.42%
Democrats 8 19.23%
That beats the county average for turn out
You cannot combine the Chapman Polls with others, we have our own elected officials, we need to hav our wn ballot.
Personnel wise there is no special needs Chapman means just one extra voting machine on a whole truck.
Chapman is small town America, and that is something special. A great place to live.
I agree with Dottie to a certain point. Chapman is a nice town. It should be a nice village within a larger municipality. Penn has close to 3000 municipalities! We should combine many of the smaller towns into others. These small towns are a drain on revenues, with seperate depts., and other costly entites. Do we need these towns with a hundres or a couple hundres residents? I dont think things will change, but they should.
ReplyDeleteWith the way Bethlehem and Easton have been run (murder, mayhem, high taxes, lies about tax cuts, police corruption, fees, fees, fees), Chapman would do well to stay as far away from the county sewers as possible. Chapman is a nice place to visit. But don't. Leave the place alone and continue to enjoy your own paradises.

ReplyDeleteThe charter of Chapman Borough predates those municipalities around us. We are a great place to live becasue we are not absorbed into larger municialiies. Our taxes, crime rate and pullution levels are all low and our quaality of life and personal freeedoms are high. That is a rarity and something other people are seeking. Why would we give that up? It is our topwn and we like it just the way it is.
Best turnout percentage in the county.
ReplyDeleteHaters!!!
