As most of you know, Vic Scomillio has stepped down as Northampton County Solicitor to distance himself from Executive John Brown. In a memo released late last night, Brown has named Vic's successor - Cathy Allen. "I wish I had ten of her," he writes. Though Allen has no law degree, Brown is confident that a Republican-controlled Council will grant his wish. "Why not?" he asks."They already approved a voice over artist as Director of Community and Economic Development."
Brown and public relations consultant Kim Plyler were absent from last night's council meeting. They were apparently at Staples, making copies.
(Psst! I'll tell you what really happened tomorrow. I'm busy letting air out of footballs right now.)
FOLKs, THIS STORY IS A JOKE!!

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.
As a taxpayer, I have read about Mr. brown and his staff and I've come up with only one thought.....He is obviously NUTS. Putting someone in the legal department as the lead County Solicitor (with no law degree) is the most ridiculous idea I ever heard. He must be pulling your crank Bernie.
ReplyDeleteIn a related move, Bethlehem council held an emergency meeting to discuss succession from Norco to lehigh
ReplyDeleteFreemansburg is joining Bethlehem in that move
ReplyDeleteSlate Belt also leaving for Monroe County asap.
ReplyDeleteLocal boy goes bad and brings shame upon his home town of Bangor.
ReplyDeleteAllen will need her own private solicitor once her shenanigans are made public. Brown was probably at the Phillies caravan at the Sands. Freebie tix, y'all!
ReplyDeleteSorry Bernie for being OT. Any thoughts on this story.

ITS A JOKE..... WAKE UP! ITS A JOKE FOR GODS SAKE
ReplyDeleteThe sad fact is, it's no longer easy to tell a joke from reality in this upside down America we live in.

Bernie doesn't joke. When Bernie speaks people listen.
ReplyDeleteApril 1st comes early in the O'Hare household
ReplyDeleteInteresting Mr. O'Hare-
ReplyDeleteYour very own version- THE WAR OF THE COURTHOUSE..... the aliens from Bangor have landed and are taking over every position within the Courthouse and ending government as we know it...
I cannot believe how stupid people are... The War of The Worlds... our new "O'HARE" version right here in Easton... COME ON PEOPLE WAKE UP!
Cathy Allen laughs not at your juvenile puerile attempts at humor but you waddling about the courthouse scrounging out stories for a blog that earns you nothing but detractors.
ReplyDeleteFor Cathy this position is just a springboard, her ambitions extend all the way to Harrisburg where the real power and prestige lay. Having turds like O'Hare chomping at the bit writing rubbish daily is a vindication of sorts, John Browns next term will be transformative in ways obese, obtuse ogres like Bernie cannot fathom
The story is a joke, and it matches the administration which is a joke. It is really painful to watch - but they are banking on us not watching.
ReplyDeleteAnon 1:21 - lay off those toxic mushrooms.
ReplyDelete@1:21 You need some more sleep, though figuring out how to drive around in the snow in a Mercedes will probably make you restless tonight. You wrote a few years ago about how fortunate you were to own a RAV4, but I would advise not taking it out of its hiding place anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteThe sad part of this story is you have to tell people it is a joke.

ReplyDeleteAwesome observation.
this administration is so fucked up a person would and will believe anything anyone writes or says about them
ReplyDeleteJohn brownpants and Cathy Alien are the worst, were the worst, and will always be THE WORST!
ReplyDeleteCathy will have to clean up the trail of green slime left by Scomillio. I hear that is a full time job for her. Cruising the prison lots will have to wait until the Judge race is over and Scomillio returns!
ReplyDeleteSponge John Brownpants and his Blundering Herd. An administration that will go down in the anals of county history.
