Brad Osborne was elected Chair and Mike Schware Vice Chair at the reorganization of Lehigh County's Board of Commissioners last night. Newly elected Commissioner Dan Hartzell stated that, when he covered the Board for The Morning Call, there was a tradition of having a Chair and Vice Chair from different parties. He did not mention that, when he covered the Board, those parties were the Democrat-Republican Party and the Federalists. Hartzell nominated Geoff Brace for Vice Chair, but he was rejected along party lines.
When he was Chair, Republican Dean Browning revived that practice. Democrats Dan McCarthy and Bill Hansell served as Vice Chair. But that was before Wayne Woodman became GOP party boss.

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.
the road warrior was a joke as a journalist. he'll prove to be a joke here also

ReplyDeleteBrowning later partnered with 4 democrats to give us a 16% tax hike.
Probably not the best point to make.
Democratic-Republicans and Federalists. I love it!
ReplyDeleteDean certainly brought people together. He united his opposition and was quickly shown the door by them.
ReplyDeleteNow Browning is trying to get on the tea party good side. He is loving every teabagger crazy site on Facebook. The guy is pretending as much as he can to be a right wing whacko. We sill see if it works.
ReplyDeleteAnd what kind of person posts an anonymous attack like the one you did?
