The Missing Council Member

Once again, Northampton County Council member Lamont McClure skipped out on a Committee meeting yesterday. He blew off a Council meeting, too. Controller Steve Barron told the audience that McClure is in Ocean City. I don't begrudge him some time off, but I have yet to see him put some time in.

Despite his appalling 14.7% attendance record at Committees over a 6 year period, McClure actually ran for County Executive this Spring. His 21.55% performance at the polls is a pretty good indication what voters think about his attendance.

3 comments:

  1. He will be voted out in 2015.

  2. I believe you are correct. His district is now more R than it was, and the Dems now know him.

  3. The Dems will indeed have a tough time keeping the seat. With McClure as the Democratic candidate, it could be a certain take for the R's. Unless they muck it up with some whacked out teabagger.

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.
