On May 8, 2014, the League of Women Voters of Northampton County and the Gracedale Nursing Home are partnering to present a Candidates’ Forum for the Democratic 40th Senatorial District Primary Race. It's scheduled for 7 pm at the Gracedale Chapel.
The three candidates in contention are Attorney Mark Aurand, Bangor Mayor Joe Capozzolo and Northampton County Council member Scott Parsons.
This is the only debate for this race this election season at this time. It is a new Senate seat based on the 2010 PA Census and includes most of Monroe County and the northern portion of Northampton County.
What bothers me is that the debate is scheduled to coincide with a meeting of Northampton County Council.

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.
Should be good for some laughs. Barney Rubble will need two chairs, and bud on tap.
ReplyDeleteGo Scott Go!
ReplyDeleteIf you are debating which one to go to, County Council is recorded on video, while the debate is not.
ReplyDeleteIs Parsons going to show up? The reason there is only one debate is because Mike Fleck doesn't want Scott to look bad, again. At a january Monroe county meeting, Parsons did an awful job. When asked about same sex marriage he said "the gays". The whole room gasped. Not ready for prime time.
ReplyDeleteParsons may not be ready for prime time, but Capozzolo is a joke
ReplyDeleteDoesn't County Council meet May 1st and 15th?
ReplyDeleteShit! I screwed up. You're right. They don't meet 5/8
DeleteJoe Cap will win this debate. Who will come in second? Aurand can't speak without notes. Always has a yellow notepad in hand. Nothing from the heart. Parsons is well, Parsons. He's good if he stays on script, but falters at off- the-cuff. Can't wait to watch!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll have a front row seat bc you obviously are Joe Cap. You really are a snake. God help Bangor.
ReplyDeleteJoe Cap couldn't win a race if only he was in it! Give me a break. One vote Joe..what a claim to fame.
ReplyDeleteJoe was the logical choice for Bangor's mayor. The other two just horrible in comparison. My advice to you Joe is this..be the Mayor and forget about higher office. Do what you do best..marry people and do the parades.
ReplyDeleteParseons is no state senator. the guy can barely put a sentence together.
ReplyDeleteBarney Rubble for President!
ReplyDelete1:58, you seem to have the same affliction. Are you Scott?
ReplyDeleteFleckster alert, 7:15AM.
