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.
Drop him off t Gracedale... We are tired of career politicians and bullshit. 30 years is way to long and creates corruption
ReplyDeleteHe's not a politician! He is an ordinary citizen volunteer who gives his time to serve the public. I ride LANTA routinely and I can tell you the quality of services has grown incredibly over the past 5-10 years, with extended evening and weekend hours The Fred Williams inter-modal station on 3rd Street in Easton is such a nice facility that is used by LANTA, NJ Transit (service to Pburg) and Transbridge for service to Clinton, EWR and NYC. Stop by this facility sometime and watch the young, old, disabled and riders like me sitting in a clean comfortable station waiting for the bus. Instead of taking an anonymous potshot at a good guy, why not commit to follow his example and leave the car at home occasionally and ride the bus somewhere!
ReplyDelete7:51. I was trying to think of a fair and intelligent response but the only one that seems appropriate is YOUR AN ASSHOLE
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Fred. However since the late great Steve Schmidt left the Board (and may God bless him with restful eternal peace) there continues an absence of an actual regular, daily consumer of Lanta services. An occasional whirl around simply is not the same as someone who uses this service on a daily basis. Moreover, public transit has become exponentially more important to the economic development and vitality within the region since Steve served. Shame on both counties for accepting this situation and continued inside job mentality of lanta.
ReplyDeleteFred Did use the bus on a regular and consistent basis don't you don't want to read
ReplyDeleteHe occasionally took the bus. He drove to his diocesan job and was never a daily user like Steve Schmidt. And before his diocesan position, as a Democratic activist while on the Lanta board he drove County wide because Lanta was even more limited the 80s. You clearly dont know history nor facts nor do u understand the point made. Par for the course.
ReplyDeleteSteve Schmitt was an advocate for a car-free lifestyle. He occasionally would allow others to drive him but did not like it. Fred Williams was not quite so extreme. He drove, but he also took the bus, also walked, and did these things long before they were fashionable. You like to trash people anonymously. That's par for the course.
