When will someone submit a RTK request for the salaries of Lehigh Valley Planning Commission employees that we all in Lehigh and Northampton counties pay for???
Remember a few years back when the Express Times did a RTK gauntlet of municipalities in the 2 counties... seems like a good time for an update.
Its our tax monies, we deserve to see where and how much of it is spent!
I bet Becky A. Bradley is making a solid 6 figures promoting herself and demeaning her employees.
If anyone wants a good view of the salaries from a couple of years ago google Express Times Database Lehigh Valley, Warren County public employee salaries
Blogger's Reply: Why don't you file a RTK if it is so damn important to you?

MSM, (USA Today, Gannett Newspapers, NYT. et al; ) have all had tingles running down their legs in multiple orgasms over the Hillbillary team as they are well aware that their importance and influence will be sidetracked if the Trump Train rumbles past them on the Mainline track to Make America Great Again..
Blogger's Reply: This vulgar comment is an apparent reaction to USA Today's decision, a first in its 34-year history, to weigh in on a Presidential contest. It comes down against Donald Trump.
From the day he declared his candidacy 15 months ago through this week’s first presidential debate, Trump has demonstrated repeatedly that he lacks the temperament, knowledge, steadiness and honesty that America needs from its presidents.It's what I'd expect. No responsible media source could support a Presidential candidate who tweets, in a 3am tirade, to "check out the sex tape" of a Miss Universe who dared criticize him, even though no such tape exists. Believe me, I checked. The closest I could find was some goofy reality show that is not even XXX. I was very disappointed.
Whether through indifference or ignorance, Trump has betrayed fundamental commitments made by all presidents since the end of World War II. These commitments include unwavering support for NATO allies, steadfast opposition to Russian aggression, and the absolute certainty that the United States will make good on its debts. He has expressed troubling admiration for authoritarian leaders and scant regard for constitutional protections.

Hillbillary once again has the msm in her pocket. Who knows by hook or by crook she manages to con or hoiiodwink people. Mr. Trump will not be deterred. His campaign continues to roll along with real Americans.
Some have heard that since over half the country will not accept her as President some states may secede from the union if she is elected. Could you blame them?
I see that like The Donald, you bray away in the wee hours. They tried that with Lincoln, too.

yep some have heard that the trumpkins are delusional.

Bernie,
Any thoughts on the Supreme Ct's decision regarding casino host fees? Seems like the court gave the legislature an out by allowing them time to fix it, but some communities have to be worried about counting on Harrisburg to fix it.
Anyone who believes a news source or "fact" checker doesn't have their own agenda is a blithering idiot.
It seems that the weight of the 1996 Miss Universe is more important to the media than issues like immigration, terrorism, ending corruption in government and jobs for Americans
Tens of thousands of ballot boxes filled with Clinton ballots were just found in Ohio.
http://christiantimesnewspaper.com/breaking-tens-of-thousands-of-fraudulent-clinton-votes-found-in-ohio-warehouse/
Hillary is hell bent to be queen. I suspect that in this election the cheating will become so blatant it will be obvious to anyone. Especially those who supported Bernie that found out that the fix was in for Hillary who feel quite betrayed by the way the nomination was stolen and their nominee sold out.
The mainstream media just falls in line with whatever narrative Hillary's campaign is pushing. They are her lapdogs.

"But other than that, Mrs. Lincoln; How much did you enjoy the play?"

first problem is that Ohio ballots in Franklin are electronic and do not even look like the so called "fraudulent" votes.
second the owner of the site has a record of outlandish claims.
so the only real fraud is coming from lunatics like chefetz.
the sad part is that trumpkins have to try to fake an excuse for donnie losing an election that has not been held yet.
I lived on Lincoln Street. I drive a Lincoln. I never tip less than a Lincoln. Hillary, you're no Lincoln.
@11:43 you make an excellent point.
I remember Ronald Reagan saying that he wanted to live in an America where it mattered far more who your mayor and governor were than who your President was. think that would have made The Framers really smile.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz has said that Donald Trump is ‘Not Fit to Wipe Floors of the White House’
Debbie is one of the most intelligent people in the Democratic party.
Debate Commission: ‘There Were Issues’ with Donald Trump’s Audio
Say it ain't so Hillary ? You spiked Trump's microphone ?
Are u serious? Easton's JV's would kick Notre Dame's asses! Easton's JVs would kick Easton's asses!!!
Of course there is no such thing as voter fraud
The Democrats have told me that a thousand times. Obama would never lie to me, would he ?
There may be a constitutional argument for secession. If not the congress could amend the constitution. Why should the states be forced to endure Hillary Clinton if the people do not think she is the legitimate President?
No but I think Nixon and Bush II may have
Hey, look at me you Children of the Recesssion. I'm wearing Armani and flying around in private jets. My husband and I stole several billion from Haitians living in poverty then claimed immunity when the Haitian government asked for an accounting of the donated money. But I can still hold my head high, do the shimmy and look down my nose at the deplorable basement dwelling American public.
You see I have establishment values. I can violate laws, lie about it, then be vouchsafed by the Guardians of the elite which now includes the FBI. In case you peons haven't caught my drift, you better learn how to decorate basements because when I get done taking what little you have left you may be left with basements and nothing else.
3:56, A billionaire who got his money from his daddy and by stuffing people and declaring bankruptcy and who also flies around in private jets is in no position to present himself as a man of the people. It rings hollow, like everything else aboutb trump and his trumpions
Well at least Trump created thousands of jobs, including many good ones for minorities and women. Hillary has created zero jobs, except for their foundation which underpays their fake staff.
Female staff
@4:00 If the various Bankrupsy laws aren't legal, then why do millions of Americans use them to get out of overwhelming financial debt?
It sounds like you believe that they should be outlawed Bernie.
I'm curious, when has Hillary or Bill or Chelsea had to sit in the middle seat of a commercial airliner over the past 30 years ?
I'm a Millenial. I studied hard in school. Life isn't fair. I want everything to be free. I deserve it. I am entitled. I love my mom and dad. Is Hillary going to be my mom? Is she going to be Mrs. Santa Claus. I need new video games--mine are boring now.
Give me. Give me. Give me. I am a millenial. I want. I want it now. Give me. Give me now. My Hippie grandparents and my wannabe Hippie parents never punished me. They were tolerant. They were empathetic. They were compassionate. They did not judge. They were inclusive. They celebrated diversity. We celebrated Kwanzaa every year--we are not Black.
I believe everything can be free. Obama gave me free health care. Doctors owe me. Nurses owe me. I want free food. I can't survive without eating. It should be an entitlement that everyone gets free food. I want a free car. I see everyone else has a car. I want a car too. I'm entitled to a car so I can see my friends and do things. I want free clothes. I can't go outside naked. I want free video games. Maybe Hillary will give me everything I want . I am going to vote for her and find out.
Thousands line up to see Trump in Manheim, Pennsylvania hours before rally scheduled to begin.

How do you create jobs as senator or Secretary of Stae? President Clinton created over 200,000 jobs per month. GW Bush 13,000 per month. Trump created jobs overseas for the foreigners he hates.
Hillary is the candidate who draws bigger crowds at four figure fundraisers than at free rallies for the voters.
5:99, you sound like a member of the baby boomer generation, selfish, hateful and dishonest. It is thanks to ugly people like you that real millenial will grow up worse off than you. Your grandchildren must be proud of you. Go buy avTrump hat.
4:53, you need to spend a little less time listening to am talk radio and a little more time reading and then perhaps you'll learn how to spell the word bankruptcy. Under the law, bankruptcy is legal. But when someone uses it four times to stiff the little guy, he's a slug and deserves no office. The fact that you defend this is itself despicable.
4:28, trump did create jobs for women and minorities. He has laid off and stiffed them here. He even stiffed the little girl els he hired to sing for him at campaign events.
I believe you file for bankruptcy, and a judge has to approve it. You just can't claim to be bankrupt and walk away. Also anyone that runs dozens of businesses isn't going to have success in each and every one of them.
By the way, how many businesses have the Clintons started?
All businesses hire and fire and lay off employees. That's the American way. We aren't the Soviet Union.
As a GOP Congressman might say, "You lie!" Not all businesses lay off their entire workforce. They don't stiff creditors. That is not the American way. It actually is more akin to the Soviet way. Though I am no businessman, I am fortunate to know several who are very successful. Two of the three I know quite well are conservative Republicans. I am unsure about the third, but know that two of the three never laid off a worker, even when they had to suffer a temporary loss of profit. None would dream of bankruptcy.Trump is a heatless bastard who loves to say, "You're fired."
As for how many businesses Clinton has started, how many has Trump started that were real, honest-to-goodness businesses? Seems he create bullshit businesses, has others invest, and then walks away as things go south. I can tick them off.
He is no businessman. He is no feminist. He is no job creator. He's a con artist who has no business running for President.
Sounds like you've been drinking the entire pitcher of Clinton Kool-Aid Bernie
Clinton is the one that belongs in Leavenworth, not the Oval Office.
But then, who else did the Democrats have to nominate but Hillary Clinton? All the "moderate" Democrats have retired or been voted out since Obama came into office in 2008.
There is no one on their bench of any substance, and no new generation of Democrats waiting to replace the Obamas and the Clintons. That's why many Democrats are in panic mode right now. Hillary has spent well over $100 million just on campaign ads that are nothing but negative about Trump. They haven't moved the polls much or at all. Trump uses the media in large part to be his campaign ads by staying on the front page.
Basically, all Hillary has are a few syncopants and the Media that are keeping her in the race. After Labor day, over the past month, many Americans now arre taking this election seriously, and what has happened? Hillary's poll numbers are fading and fading fast. Now we've learned that she had Trump's microphone rigged in the last "debate" and right away Howard Dean accuses Trump of being a drug addict. One would think that this was all coordinated? And videos of the debate hhave shown Hillary making odd motions with her fingers to Holt. As if Holt was being told to ask Trump a 'gotcha' question, but never ask Hillary about anything of her past.
A conspericay theorist might think that Hillary has this election rigged.... you know, like the Wikileaks emails showed how she rigged the primaries aginst Bernie.
Well people are seeing that the Queen has no clothes. After all, what did she actually do of substance that she can talk about with pride? All we see on tv are her negative ads against Trump and the constant shit throwing at him to distract people from her non-record of achievement of anything substantial..
Not to forget to mention her 30-year record of slimy scandals, all having to do with money in one form or another.....
Woo-hoo. All those talking points I one breath. Nice that you call her a queen. It is a typical trump tactic. Still not voting for Dangerous Donald

and trumpie is the best the republicans have to offer?
in one way it is laughable and the other a sad demise of what was a party that had serious and respectable leaders.

"The $916 million loss certainly could have eliminated any federal income taxes Mr. Trump otherwise would have owed on the $50,000 to $100,000 he was paid for each episode of “The Apprentice,” or the roughly $45 million he was paid between 1995 and 2009 when he was chairman or chief executive of the publicly traded company he created to assume ownership of his troubled Atlantic City casinos. Ordinary investors in the new company, meanwhile, saw the value of their shares plunge to 17 cents from $35.50, while scores of contractors went unpaid for work on Mr. Trump’s casinos and casino bondholders received pennies on the dollar."
yep the donald made money and screwed everyone else.
What happened to the $6 Billion Dollars at the State Department that became "missing" while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State ?
I have deleted two anonymous comments suggesting I am being paid by a candidate to support his campaign, and that is why people need to vote for trump. That is a false charge, is made recklessly and for the sole purpose of damaging my reputation. I started blogging in 2006, and that false accusation has been made in one form or another since that time. Repeating a lie, over and over, does not make it true. But I will allow the post to stand if the author identifies herself so I can sue her for libel.
"What happened to the $6 Billion Dollars at the State Department that became "missing" while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State ?"
After striking out on claims that Trump is patriotic bc he filed for bankruptcy and stiffed small business, and the claim that Trump created jobs for minorities and women, when the truth is those jobs are all overseas in sweat shops, an anonymous Trumpion suggests that Clinton stole $6 billion as SoS. This is yet another lie from people who tell whopper after whopper.

Bernie, your Republican insider friends everyone knows must not like Trump. It is sad you are carrying water for them? It is hard to fathom your willingness to sell the country down the drain., Do you realize that Mr., Trump is America's last great hope?
Europe is down the drain. It has been essentially invaded and their western culture is dying quickly. America is the last best hope for Western culture and civilization. If America goes the way of Europe, the philosophical ideals of freedom and equality of the Greeks is finished. It will also spell the death knell for Christianity.
Mr. Trump may be able to save us, Clinton will just expedite our great western culture's demise. That is why real, patriotic Americans are voting for Mr. Trump. Why do you not see that?
God Bless America!
Let's see. We have bounced from Trump the feminist to Trump the great businessman to unfounded accusations that Clinton stole $6 billion to personal attacks claiming that I must be getting paid to write what I write to claims that I have Republican insider friends who hate Trump. Do you realize how stupid you sound? Seriously. Now you claim a man with the moral ambivalence of a con artist and who trades wives the way I change underwear is the savior of Christianity. Give me a break! How long have you been taking stupid pills?
Do you honestly think, for a moment, that anyone tells me what to write? Most of my R insider friends will be voting Trump. I have respect for them and do not judge them and they do not judge me. And by the way, don't come on this blog anonymously and try to preach about morality bc you obviously have none.
All Democrats believe politifacdt. Who checks the "fact checkers" ?
It's really funny that Trumps PERFECTLY LEGAL bankruptcies were filed due to Bill Clinton-era changes in IRS law.
I'm curious if Hillary Clinton has ever called any of her Wall Street backers "deplorables"
$6 Bil Vanishes From State Dept. Under Hillary Clinton
http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2014/04/6-bil-vanishes-from-state-dept-under-hillary-clinton/
You know, the funny thing is that normal people don't give a damn qgou5t Donald Trump's taxes or his private business.
Big Business is on the side of Hillary Clinton by the way. None of the Wall Street people who have given MILLIONS to the Clinton charity has given a dime to Donald Trump. We've all known that George Soros doesn't pay any taxes, but 99% of Americans pay taxes. What has Obama or Senator Hillary Clinton done about the inequalities in our Tax Laws? The IRS has been rigged for decades in favor of the Rich. we all know this.
Where is the news here?
What we are concerned about is Clinto's scandals; but not the scandals per se; it's the lying and the stonewalling and the general lack of trust she presents to the American public; it's the scandals that she's been involved in for the past 30 years, all the way back to the Rose Law Office's billing records, that couldn't be found by the Clintons, found in the White House Bedroom by a maid.
It's the lying and general corruption of this Clinton Charity, which looks like for all to see as influence peddling.
We don't give a damn about Trump's divorces or his using LEGAL TAX Laws to his benefit. That's why the rich pay lawyers to find legal exemptions in the IRS Tax Code, and why you and I pay taxes and they don't.
The bankruptcy that people should be concerned about is the imminent bankruptcy of the federal government and most state governments. It will have real effects on your lives.
A person who bankrupted his own companies numerous times will think nothng of doing it to the US. That does concern me.
Doesn't it strike you odd that all the people who benefit from our corrupt tax system by paying little or no taxes support Hillary Clinton?
Do you know the internals of Donald Trump's businesses to know that Trump "bankrupted his own companies" ?
8:34, You mean Donald Trump? According to the crooked NY Times, he may have avoided paying taxes for 20 years. But that's OK. It's those people with dark skin who bother you.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-taxes.html?_r=0
What does Donald Trump's taxes have to do with Hillary Clinton's incompetence that has led to millions of people dying in the Middle East and other places around the world as Secretary of State ?
How do you know that the New York Times didn't fabricate those documents? Isn't it illegal to obtain someone else's tax returns?
What has Mrs Clinton said about "reforming the IRS" to prevent people from not paying taxes legally ?
You just got done saying people who pay no taxes support Hillary Clinton, so it's fair to conclude Donald Trump supports her since he pays no taxes. Pay attention.
It clearly seems that the Democrats are throwing everything they have not to talk about the failures of Hillary Clinton and to distract the American voter from her lies and corruption.
Are you better off today than you were eight years ago ?
The only one throwing complete bullshit is you. You started with the ridiculous claim that a man who calls a beauty queen "Miss Piggy" is a feminist. You then claimed that he is a great businessman when he is actually a man who has sent jobs overseas and has filed for bankruptcy four times in 15 years. He stiffed thousands of people who did work for him. You then try t claim bankruptcy is patriotic and that he is a savior of Christianity when he trades his wife in evert five years and talks about having sex with his daughter. You then claim Hillary Clintob stole $5 billion and when I point to a nonpartisan and independent site showing that you are full of shit, you dishonestly reject it as Democrat. The you go on to claim that people who pay no taxes support Clinton, and I point out that he must then support Clinton because he's evaded taxes for 20 years. You are hopelessly full of shit and are supporting an incompetent. I'll take the candidate who lied about her email.
Oh now we are going to talk about tax returns from 1995, Twenty-ONE years ago.
Of coarse you can write off business losses, this is stupid and nothing but another distraction from Hillary Clinton, who can't talk about her record, her achievements, or anything else about her.
But then, you don't have business losses when all of your income comes from Bribes and Payoffs or as the Clintons call them "Speaking Fees" because they Build Nothing, Employ Nobody and Don't Sell Anything
The bigger question to me is how did Unemployed Bill and Unemployed Hillary make 10 Million Dollars Last Year?
Clintons paid taxes on their speaking fees. Two decades on paying no taxes and you want to elect this tax cheat President. Time to get your head out of your ass, Dave.
For the past month or has it been two, I forget now, the Clinton supporters have told us that since the FBI let Hillary off the hook for criminal conduct for her mishandling of classified information and operating a private server for her government email as Secretary of State, one of the most sensitive position in the United States Government, with less security than Google Mail has.
I forget also how many things FBI Director Comey mentioned. I believe the prhases "Gross Negligence", "Extremely Careless" "Putting America's Secrets in Danger" were used. This is, of course, about the person that Democrats want to be President of the United States. But I suppose that just doesn't matter, does it ?
Now, since Hillary Clinton has been given a de facto clean bill of health (no pun intended) on the matter. Let's use the same standard for Trump's taxes that the Democrats used for Hillary Clinton "Gross Negligence" and all the other facts tht the FBI's investigation found. Since 20 years has passed since the year the NYT used in its article, and Trump has not been found guilty of tax evasion, then where's the beef in their article? Oh, I get it. The Democrats are implying that Trump's "crime" was that Trump AVOIDED taxes. Not that he was grossly incompetent with our national secrets. That would be OK I suppose to the Hillary Supporters. But last time I checked that was perfectly legal and a smart thing to do.
What percentage of their income are the Clintons paying in taxes due to the phony "foundation" they set up? Is Bill still taking a deduction for donating his used boxers and briefs (he told the MTV audience he wore both back in 1992)?
The Trump Derangement Syndrome with Democrats is heading way up in the stratosphere right now, and is moving at warp speed as the panic amounts them sets in that Hillary is going to lose this election, especially after seeing the THOUSANDS that lined up to see Trump in Manheim last night, that stood for hours to see and hear his message.
I will not reply to your profanity, you know better than that Bernie. You should use your intelligence which you have shown on many many occasions, but seem to have some kind of mental block when it comes to Hillary Clinton.
It's not "presidential' to tweet about a sex tape? Why not? How many presidents could have actually supplied us with their own sex tapes? Many of them. It's too bad all of Bill Clinton's sex attacks were before the days of cell phone cameras and social media. We would have had an eyeful....unfortunately at the expense of those poor victims of his attacks.
Now you are defending against an attack I never made. It's unpresidential as hell, though, to tweet lies about another person, and that's what The Donald did.
Dave, You don't like profanity? Go fuck yourself? That's right. If it is offensive for a bottom feeding blogger to use profanity, then you must be really appalled when a presidential candidate uses it..... Like the Donald. But you're not. So please Dave, get your head out of your ass already> You are now defending a two-decade tax evader. If he was poor and black, you'd want to lynch him.
Bernie O'Hare you don't care about the downfall of Western civilization and cultur4e do you? I guess you will be happy with Kenyan sharia law and socialism, right?
Give it a rest. He's losing.
11.01
the one from the FBI director you really missed
" we have no evidence sufficient to justify the conclusion she violated any of the statutes related to classified information".
as to trumpie the NYT stated his actions were legal.
now trumpie can explain how rich real estate guys get tax breaks joe six-pack does not.
trumpie can tell the guy who lost his house during the massive downturn of the economy how he does not get to carry forward losses for 18 years.
trumpie can tell joe-six pack how trump is doing his part to help America by avoiding taxation.
and the trumpie foundation?
my hat is off to you for having the fortitude to try to compare trumps actions concerning foundations.
seems trumpie does not list his foundation properly-avoiding independent audits.
seems he uses foundation money to pay his business debts.
and last i heard Hillary did not use foundation money to buy a painting of herself or football helmets.
i am sure the donors to trumpie foundation will be pleased to know their money went for the good purpose of buying a helmet.
lastly when you look at the Manheim rally where are all the non-white folks?
guess they stayed home.
"Give it a rest. He's losing."
Sadly, no. If he loses we hard working, real Americans, with real western democracy roots will be losing our country to darkness.
"If he was poor and black, you'd want to lynch him."
If he were poor and black, he wouldn't be paying taxes in the first place. Now go do an unnatural act to yourself.
So another media person goes off the deep end as Glen Beck, it is amazing what this election has done.
If you're rich and pay no taxes you're a genius, if you're poor and pay no taxes you're a mooch. Typical Republican thought
