Scheller to Waive Her Pay in Lehigh
Her detractors might say she's finally getting paid what she's worth. But I consider it a very noble gesture on her part. She's loaded, doesn't need the money, and is in effect donating $8,000 to her County in addition to whatever she pays in taxes.
I don't share her philosophy on most issues, and don't expect other Commissioners to follow suit. But it's an indication to me that she's sincere.
In four years, who knows?

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.
Since she can afford it a shrewed move to push her agenda.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I doubt her sincerity given who she's married to and the shenanigans they and their partners have pulled.
ReplyDeleteI think 933am is right, it's a shrewd move to try to claim the moral high ground, done by a person to can easily afford the donation.
Big deal. She is richer than God.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but is she richer than the Catholic Church?
ReplyDeleteI know she's loaded, but it's a nice gesture.
Bernie, I just pulled out the reform team mailer from 2011, and I have to tell you, Scheller looks like HELL now. Either they massively retouched that picture back then, or the job is killing her. It doesn't even look like her.
ReplyDeleteChris, If she looks bad, and I consider her an attractive woman, that is entirely my fault as a photographer.
