Locked Out of NorCo Council!


Though Northampton County Council meetings are supposed to be open to the public, you have to be inside a locked building to get there. Last night, five Easton High School students and I were locked out of the building because the Deputy Sheriff who ordinarily would let us in was called away on a Protection From Abuse matter. We eventually got in, after the meeting had started. NorCo Council was conducting a meeting that excluded the public, in violation of the Open Meeting Law. They didn't give a shit.

    Haven't people realized that this current group of county officials don't care about people. Just their fanatical supporters.

    Another example of the non-transparent useless County Council in action. A house cleaning is appropriate and warranted! But we'll see how the electorate cares.

    I'm shocked, shocked, to see that Brown conceals regular county business behind closed and licked doors.

    @7:49,
    I, too, wish more younger people got involved with public service. The current crop of leaders, local and national, are an aging group. The major problem is that most Millennials can't be inconvenienced into performing public service. It detracts from their "look at me" attitude. They'd never be able to participate in meetings that don't involve text messaging.

    Most Millennials lack the social skills necessary to hold public office.

    "Most Millennials lack the social skills necessary to hold public office."

    "The major problem is that most Millennials can't be inconvenienced into performing public service. It detracts from their "look at me" attitude. They'd never be able to participate in meetings that don't involve text messaging."

    Why would anyone pass up the opportunity to interact with this sort of attitude?

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.
