LC Comm'rs Offer Prayers, Best Wishes for Bill Hansell

As a result of unexpected health concerns, Lehigh County Exec Bill Hansell has stepped down. The Board of Commissioners issued a joint statement yesterday, thanking Hansell for his service, and offering prayers and best wishes,

Hansell, a former Commissioner, was appointed last summer to finish the unexpired term of Don Cunningham, and has led county staff in beginning implementation of priority-based budgeting and performance measurement, along with the usual leadership responsibilities of a 2,000-person organization.

"Bill cares deeply about good governance," said Board Chair Lisa Scheller. "He stepped in at a difficult time, and got up to speed on the budget and other issues quite rapidly. We're saddened to hear of his illness and wish only the best for Bill, Connie and the family."

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.
