In the world according to Benol, legislators should be able to discuss matters privately, vote, and then explain everything to the uneducated public.
But with that in mind, I asked Benol to supply his home phone number, cell phone, work number and email address so that every person in Northampton County can call him every day to learn what is going on. In fact, I requested Council Clerk Frank Flisser to make that request of every member of Council.
As I explained to Mat, his willingness to inform the public is "certainly a relief to me, because I can soon stop blogging about NC government, and write more about youth sports." After all, we don't want any "journalistic malpractice."
Believe it or not, Mat only provided one number. He declined to give out his work number or email for the understandable reason that it belongs to his employer.
Flisser, unfortunately, took me seriously. He provided me with contact numbers for Council. I'm not posting them.
Benol still has what one Council member referred to as "that new car smell."
You should pass them on. It is the publics right to know. What are you hiding?
ReplyDeleteMake your own request.
ReplyDeleteHe is One of the new cub scouts on Council
ReplyDeleteHe's hiding the toilet paper from you @12:30.
ReplyDeleteThat's why you've become such an asshole!
anon 1:02, at least he is not a teabagger.
ReplyDeletehe guy was swept in with Brown. people will now have to endure what happens when you elect Party over Individuals. Faux News and Obama fear mania is not what you should be using to elect local officials. Paranoia is a poor way to pick officials.
ReplyDeleteThe guy is clueless.
He's got that creepy guy smile
ReplyDeleteCompared to Gerry and the pension grabbers, Benol looks to be actually serving on Council. The Sour Grapes Club is so bitter. It's unbecoming but expected.
ReplyDeleteWith the squinted blood-shot eyes and goofy smile, Benol looks like he's from the T (thc) party. Where is he getting the medicinal stuff, Colorado?
ReplyDeletemakes sense that he has that smell.
ReplyDeletehe just rolled off the Tea Party Factory Production line last spring.
Stop crying little girls. Mat is your council member. He smells like he won and defeated a bunch of pension slobs who smell like that old gym bag smell and continue to leach from taxpayers. Playing the system and stealing are the same thing. Those guys are the best thieves in the county.
ReplyDeleteBut can MaTT get us some bud?
ReplyDelete" defeated a bunch of pension slobs who smell like that old gym bag smell and continue to leach from taxpayers."
ReplyDeleteHow sad your life must be. Constantly swimming in your Obama induced hatred. You attack people who worked hard and planned for their retirement. Whats a matter? The corporate boys didn't treat you the way you thought they would? so now you just hate people that have actually accomplished things?
It must be a sad and miserable teabagging life you live.
Competent and morals are trumped by your hate and bitterness.

I love how people that chose to devote their lives to making widgets and were sold the magnificence of the 401(k) are jealous of the single perk public employees receive - a pension. You had the choice of where you worked just as many chose public service over making a higher salary. Now make sure you make enough widgets to increase your overlord's profit.
ReplyDeleteBravo 8:26. Right on!
ReplyDeleteThis is the result of straight party voting. It happened and will continue to happen unless the Dem's get their act together and get to work in every community across the county..not just Easton and/or Bethlehem. Give the R's some credit for sticking together and presenting a unified front. Live and learn D's. Pay attention to what happened and start getting ready for the next election cycle or else the same thing will happen again. Stronger candidates are a must. The old ways are dead on arrival.
ReplyDeleteFuck that. If people want local tea party rule, fuck 'em. The state will continue to elect Democratic presidents.
ReplyDeleteThe state will continue to elect D presidents? WTF does that mean? Did I miss something? Did PA elect a D president when I wasn't looking? Not even Clem would make such a preposterous statement..
ReplyDeleteThis past election..locally..was a D failure to launch party. The county D party did not mobilize their base and they lost. Who the heck was in charge? Evidently..nobody.
ReplyDeleteYeah but they throw nice parties were the "leaders" make nice speeches and tell you how great they are.
ReplyDeleteBernie, new cars don't have odor like in 1963. My dad'd 1964 Pontiac Catalina with a 389 CID GTO engine stick shift and posi-traction - did!HAAAA that car had a smell,we were on the way to Teri's Tavern, on 611 December of 1963.Met Jay GOLDEN's family for dinner. This car was dark blue too.!------ Give this young man a break , he will figure it out , how to be the man that holds the line ,and I will expect INTEGRITY of him. WAIT!
