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.
Not a huge surprise, is it?
ReplyDeleteMore interesting would be your take on the Arneson firing.

I am in line with what Mutchler had to say.
ReplyDeleteThere are politics in county office who should be working on polishing up their resignation letters too. Although their one bullet point would be:
ReplyDeleteEliminated 1/2 the county workforce due to establishment of crippling health insurance, creating a work environment that is both hostile and non supportive, and made political decisions that were not only bad for employees but for every Northampton county resident. All by choosing and voting to approve (county council members can use that piece) spending county tax dollars on consultants.
I will say that it is OK for any of them to use this wonderfully written bullet pointin their resignations.

ReplyDeleteI know 5 of them who could use this letter, three of them for sure
ReplyDeleteI voted for McCord in the primary. He was the only one to push hard for the legalization of marijuana.
ReplyDelete12:48,
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, John
How insincere. He's being investigated by the FBI and will likely end up in jail. This would be a major news if he wasn't another Democrat. For crooked Democrats, it's just another day that ends in y.
ReplyDeleteWasn't this the guy Pawlowksi and 7 Points Consulting were pushing for Governor?
ReplyDeleteAnyone know why Seven Points Consulting is changing names to H Street Strategies. Won't that be three names in a year.
The fact that Pawlowski has created a PAC to field candidates of his choosing speaks for itself.
This is the Governor wannabe.
ReplyDeleteSeven Points Consulting has changed its name to K. Dierdre Points Consulting.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the latest? Apparently, Rob McCord is now resigning immediately and will plead guilty to federal campaign law violations.
ReplyDeleteThe lesson of this is: Never trust a treasurer named Rob.
ReplyDeleteMcCord's actions sound eerily similiar to Barron's a few years ago when he very publicly was called out for telling an airport area company that they will never do business in Northampton County if he has anything to do about it. Maybe the Feds should probe Barron's past actions as well. At the very least he should resign.
ReplyDeleteThe union threats and his working as a teacher while full time controller are definitely bad. He should be reported to the ethics board for ethical violations.

Thanks for the quick chuckle.
Glad I didn't listen to "my" PSEA and supported Wolf in the primary. I don't agree with his some of his social views, but believe he can be an effective Governor if the General Assembly meets him half way.
Funny, when I read about why McCord really stepped down, similar to 9:27, Barron was the first thing that came to my mind. However, John Brown has done a pretty good job of helping Barron improve his image. Without knowing his opponent, and so much more for Brown to do (and per the account in the Express, there's more to come) its way too early to read any tea leaves for November.
