| Roseann Constantine and Judge Emil Giordano |
On Monday, Roseann was in Naturalization Court, busily getting everything together for 21 people who would soon be awarded U.S. citizenship. That's just one of her many jobs, though it is probably the most rewarding.
When Judge Giordano came out to the bench, the first thing he did was to recognize Roseann, in front of everyone, for her many years of dedicated service. "I don't know what we're going to do without her," he lamented.
What's sad is that Northampton County is losing a lot of institutional knowledge that will take years to replace. The people who are leaving don't want to, but feel they have no choice.
The latest blow is the loss of the one person who weathered all the storms in Northampton County government from the beginning of Home Rule. Frank Flisser, the one person who both Republicans and Democrats could trust, is retiring as County Council Clerk at the end of the year. If anyone is irreplaceable, it is Frank.
If John Brown truly thinks the County's employees are its most valuable asset, he needs to ask himself why all those who can leave are leaving.

Wow Flisser leaving! Frank must be fed up with the toxic environment created by the Clown administration. He's seen good and bad executives come and go. Too bad he has to leave during a time when the WORST is in office. Tough way to end a sterling career.
Let everyone leave. There are hundreds of people lignin g up to take their places. It is a free country.
334am you i believe are the most ignorant person i have encountered on this blog
Frank was the best.

You've already established that John Brown is a sadistic, premeditated killer who targets county employees for death.
My underemployed spouse with 25 years of staffing and management experience, has already applied for this job. The benefits are better than my private sector benefits and we're hoping she's successful. We've been told there are lots of applicants.
Brown Sucks Period.
This is such a sad day for Norco......
Really I have not seen the job posted. Jobs are ussually posted internally before they are open to the public. If what you say is true, then your spouse must be friend of Mr. Brown.
Flisser is appointed by council. No posting there.
Brown only cares about slash and burn and holding to a campaign promise - if is reduces the bottom line, who give a shit how much damage it costs?
"Really I have not seen the job posted. Jobs are ussually posted internally before they are open to the public"
Not this one. In additin to being an appointment of Council, the position is classified as exempt. The Clerk serves at their pleasure.
john brown is simply clueless! RUMOR HAS IT HE WANTS TO HURT THE WORKFORCE EVEN MORE THAN HE ALREADY HAS! UNBELIVEABLE
"My underemployed spouse with 25 years of staffing and management experience, has already applied for this job."
Good, I'll do a RTK so I can expose you to the county workforce. ... Unless you're lying.
You nailed it Bernie! Anon 5:34 is either an impostor or a big hypocrite. He makes light of Brown's treatment of employees then reveals his/her spouse wants to join the county workforce. A crock of crap.
If this is supposed to be some sort of insult, you should know that the only person who looks bad is you.
To the Easton Lebanese community: The person who made that disparagiung remark is Henry Schaadt, who lives along the Delaware Rivewr in the Eastton area. If any of you know him, be sure to thiank him for his attempt to disparage a good person.
Bernie's perfect county employee is a Democrat who never retires. This is how we end up with such shitty government. Good grief. You made more sense when you were calling the county executive a murderer. That's a tactic you decried when used against John Stoffa by the Gracedale goons. Now, it's your stock in trade.
2:38 is also Henry Schaadt.
No I'm not. I don't have any idea who this Schat guy is. And I'm not Mezzakooky, either. I read this blog daily and sometimes agree with you. Calling Brown a killer was rather ridiculous, though. I get the feeling you'd take it back if you weren't so upset at his ignoring you from the very first days of his campaign. I don't think you really liked Callahan that much. You supported him lustily in response to Brown's campaign putting you on ignore. Yours is the best local political blog around. It doesn't mean that you're not a vicious partisan at times.
Where did Henry Shat? I don't want to step in it.
When is Trachta going to serve justice upon the rogue unethical blogger who inhabits the bowels of Main St? Does the hovel have a moat or guard chimera, have there not been enough affronts to the dignity of hard working patriots like Dan Troxell, and Mayor Styre?
We must raise up against cyber terror to usher in a new dialogue or else this fine community will become a modern day Gommorah.
River is Henry Schaadt. I hope the Easton Lebanese community thanks him for his attempted smear.
Schaadt''s a sicko, much like Mezzacappa and the Blog Mentor. He once sent me a pic of a dead Nazi for kicks. There is a judgment and municipal filed against him, and I think this idiot once set his house on fire.
This seems to be happening a lot of places. I left my job this year, because they more or less wanted the older people out. But there was about 20 of us that left. But the people they put in our places can not do the job the way us old timers did it. They may think they can, but won't happen. It's sad that those of us who did everything for the companies or places we worked for get the shaft. it's too bad some of the management they put in charge don't have the decency and respect for all those faithful employees.
To whomever made that ridiculous comment, Rosann is my sister. She worked this job for 38 years and I can tell you she was very dedicated and one of the best county employees ever. Back off, pal.
Stephen, You should be proud of your sister. I say this as someone who has worked at the courthouse for many years. The slur in question comes from a troll named Henry Schaadt, who lives in the Easton area. He is a sick person. The Internet attracts them.
Bernie, thank you kindly. My sister is one of the most loved women in our Lebanese community and also one of the most respected at the courthouse as well. This idiot has some nerve and if I ever have the pleasure of meeting him, I will tell him to his scum face. Idiot needs to back off and leave my sister alone. Now.
His remarks were totally out of line and he has done far worse.
Lucky for him I did not see the disparaging remarks he posted at 1238 pm which you removed. Thanks...she is special, and not only to me. That coward who posted those remarks, is a TRUE coward.

love rosann! they don't come any better than her!
Rosann is a good lady!! It's a damn shame what one man (term used lightly) has done in less than one year to the county. I sure hope he gets his payback soon.
Her is the deal... if you don't like it quit. That is what is being told to government workers everywhere. Government workers are constantly reminded that they have it better than the private sector and that hundreds of people are lined up to do their job. At the end of the day someone will step up and do the work. Morale will be horrible but, so what, someone will step in and do the job like 5:34 states. Now, the only problem is who will train that person and develop that person?
These people all got their jobs through connections in the first place. new connections, new people. Skill was never a big thing in the county. A new person will take the job and do fine.
This is Henry Schaadt again.

Anonymous, you are a real idiot. She did not get her job through connections. She started working there when right out of high school when she was 18 years old and is/was a faithful and respected county employee for 38 years. You hide behind your Anonymous tag, you COWARD, and have nothing better to do but criticize people, left and right. You're a lonely and unhappy clown and when you die, they will have to pay 10 people to carry your casket. Nobody loves you and you have no friends. Back off of my sister and move on to your next victim, you idiot. She worked very hard and does not deserve to be ridiculed by a moron like you.
I hope Rosann Constantine has many wonderful things planned for her retirement. She deserves to relax and enjoy herself and her family after 38 years of dedicated service to the County. She will be missed by many.
