Beth Tp Mini-Judge Candidates Include Former Easton Meter Guy

Andrew Tupone, a 911 dispatcher for Bethlehem, is running both for Constable and Magisterial District Judge in Bethlehem Tp. His LinkedIn profile fails to list this, but he's also a former Easton meter maid. In response to a Right-to-Know request, I learned that he started there in October 2011, but left in November 2012 for a better paying job.

During his brief stay in Easton, Tupone developed quite a reputation as someone who liked to hand out parking tickets, and is even thought to have targeted certain individuals.

One of them challenged those tickets in court, and arrived ready to do battle, only to learn that Tupone was no longer employed in Easton.  All of the tickets were dismissed.

That was back when people still had the right to plead their case in from of a judge.

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.
