A group calling itself The Easton Jobs Initiative will launch this Saturday at the circle in a rally that will include hot dogs, soda, water, snacks, music and face painting for the kids. There will be speeches, too. Lots of them. Easton Mayor Sal Panto, Business Matters' Tony Iannelli, Shiloh Church pastor Phil Bavis and LV Building Trades President Jim Reilley will provide the hot air.
The aim is to create a website that unites job seekers and employers.
I thought that was CareerLink. Even Craigslist. But according to the news release, this one is apparently just for city residents.
Let me get this straight. Nonresidents are already paying a commuter tax. So now is he going to steal their jobs, too?
I hope the "hundreds" of residents who are projected to attend make sure they plug the meter.

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.
Be sure not to get a parking ticket while there.
ReplyDeleteEmployers from outside Easton should refuse to hire Eastonians until this nonsense stops.
ReplyDeletedems are such whores
ReplyDeleteIt's Jim Reiley not Pat
ReplyDeleteHas Sal arranged a ceasefire among warring outsider gangs during the launch ceremony? Is the trolley bulletproof?
ReplyDelete"It's Jim Reiley not Pat"
ReplyDeleteThanks your correcting me. Jim Reilley.
I don't see how he can restrict people from attending or approaching employers. Is someone going to ask for ID?
ReplyDeleteSeems like nothing more than Sal politicking for the locals.
Just stay away from the "West" ward. Folks there are trigger happy.
ReplyDeleteBetween the school system and traditional city voting habits, an employer would be an idiot to hire anyone from Easton, unless you're creating a football team or mob of drug dealers.
ReplyDeleteThis event will raise the most parking ticket money in parking ticket history in Easton. They will plant the seed (Hot Dogs) a few hundred and rake in thousands.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget if you get a parking ticket, but are part of Easton's elite, your ticket will be forgiven. Anyone else.... Don't even think about it... No chance for you!
