NorCo General Purpose Authority Cancels March Meeting

Northampton County's beleaguered General Purpose Authority (GPA) is scheduled to meet again on Tuesday, March 6, at 8:15 am. But it's been cancelled. At the last County Council meeting, two new members were appointed to the board though GPA Solicitor John Lushis insists that his board, and not County Council, "shall" be making at least one of these appointments. I've also told you that the GPA Chair has billed the County $11,950 last year to check on a third-party engineer hired to check on the P3 bridge builder. And Lushis has billed and been paid $810,000 over the past two years. At the risk of setting off the Lushis meter once more, I wrote to ask why this meeting was cancelled.

Is it because the GPA refuses to recognize incoming board members? Are they going to court?

I have heard nothing from Lushis, but began to ask around and learned that it is common to cancel a scheduled meeting unless there are action items to consider.

I am still waiting for complete replies to my Right-to-Know request.
