Northampton County elected officials should be embarrassed that expense reports are no longer listed online for candidates running for office throughout the County. The last reports are listed for 2013. Where candidates get their money is often key for decisions they make later. The public should know this information, without having to go to Easton to look for it. Why aren't these reports online?

Maybe it's time for Shiffert to throw in the towel?

If somebody isn't going to take the time to become an informed voter, that person just shouldn't vote:

Voting is probably the most important function the County provides. Yet if one wants to review where a candidates' contributions come from that person must go to Easton to find out and ask to review this at the Voters Office. The last year these reports were on line was 2013. When every one else has these reports on line why doesn't Northampton County? County Council should insist that this be done!

So, Bernie, now that we're into September is the County's "line" that Court Admin Jill Smith was on a "temporary leave of absense" a crock or what? Somethin' don't smell right down there.
Blogger's reply: I have written several stories explaining what has happened.

As a life long (30 yrs) resident of Bethlehem Twp, I have never seen a pumpkin patch in the township yet there is the cover of the fall 2016 newsletter, showing a family holding hands and walking through a pumpkin patch? Propaganda you say? What else are township officials painting a rosey picture of?

Why would you get rid of Shiffert? Handily beat Stroudsburg, kicked the crap out of Freedom, and just barely lost to a Powerhouse in Liberty.
Shiffert's life matters.
I am so proud of our William Allen football team. I know they lost last night to East Stroudsburg North, but they played their hearts out. The team scored 34 points which is the most I remember the team scoring in an awfully long time. THey were also ahead in he first quarter :) way to go guys !!!
Each and every one of the players should know that all of us who went to Allen are proud of their effort, and to keep it up. The wins will come and success is theirs :)

Too little, too late.
They are great kids, Jamie. In terms of sheer athletic ability, I don't think any team can match up to Allen in sheer athletic ability in basketball. Wait 'till basketball season. Parkland and Freedom were real assholes and ran up the score against Allen, so it was nice to see Easton beat Freedom and Liberty take out Parkland. Karma.
4:27, Sorry, but the presidential election is not part of Opinions Online this week.
Agreed. This whole election cycle is just down right deplorable.
Yes, but can they beat Dieruff on Senior Day?
The evening of 9-11 we were All United. We Shall Not Forget. God Bless America.
Re: The Pumpkin Patch comment and wishful thinking.
What about the Pa. DOT Bengal Tiger that appears on Vanity Plates?
