After initially setting my GPS to take me some place in upstate New York, I finally made it to Ron Angle's 70th Birthday Bash on New Year's Day at the Chelsea Sun Inn. That's tucked away on Stone Church Road in Upper Mount Bethel Township. Although I could tell lots of stories, I'll limit them to one, at least for now. It's about Monroe County Commissioner Charlie Garris.
Monroe County, like most counties, still retains the Commissioner form of government, elected two people from the majority party and a third from the minority party. Garris tells me he spent $38 in his race. His Republican running mate, John Moyer, spent nothing.
He only won by about 100 votes, and tells me he thinks he should have spent $39.

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.
Well, he had lots of yard signs throughout the County. If he only spent $38, he must be recycling. Or maybe that's just $38 out-of-pocket.

ReplyDeleteComments like that and the death wisher say much more about you than Ron. To top it off, you are a coward who can't sign your name.
