McClure Shows Up For Budget Hearing

Northampton County Council member Lamont McClure has been absent from nearly every Committee meeting this year.But he showed up at yesterday's Budget hearing. Why? The answer is simple. His mentor, DA John Morganelli, was having his budget reviewed. McClure got his start in Northampton County thanks to John. McClure's wife works for Morganelli, too.

Funny how McClure thinks it's terrible for County employees to be involved in a nonprofit that feeds the needy but has no ethical dilemma in passing on the budgetary requests in the office where his wife works.

McClure is Council's liaison to the Northampton County Housing Authority, where Lori Sywensky will be banned under his goofy law. McClure has never attended any of their meetings.

  1. Mr. McClure was at the meeting doing the peoples business.

    John Callahan, Hunter and Heckman were prancing in the Northampton Halloween Parade throwing candy.

    Apparently Heckman, a graduate of Northampton high School was hamming it up in his old his old alma mater jacket.

    Who is really working for the county??

  2. 1:53. That makes no sense at all. They are running for office, why would they be at a budget meeting? You are just a hater and when they win I hope you eat crow.

  5. Haters gonna' hate. The question to me is why Mr. Holier-than-thou, who never goes to budget or committee hearings, shows up for one involving his wife.

  6. Hey Bernie, the Excess Times wrote up the county council Q&A today. Your buddy O'Donnell claims Premier healthcare has a conspiracy going at Gracedale.

  10. 7:36, This post is about Lamont McClure, not the Bath Halloween parade or the COAF, though they are pretty scary.

  13. How much longer do we the people have to deal with McClure? I would love to initiate a recall of his seat on Council. He should be impeached along with Barron.

  14. If it could be done legally, I would attempt to have our FT Controller impeached. He is never even there.
