Late last month, General Purpose Authority Chair Shawn Langen was invited to appear before County Council to explain some of strange happenings in what Executive Lamont McClure has called a "rogue" authority. Langen had publicly complained that it would be a "dog and pony show." After suggesting to Council that they lacked his understanding of high finance, he refused to answer a Lori Vargo Heffner question, asking him to explain what he did for a living. It might make him late for a dinner party.
In the wake of that disastrous performance, both Peg Ferraro and Mike Dowd resigned from the GPA's seven member board.
McClure has appointed himself and Lori Vargo Heffner to replace them.
Council is set to confirm these appointments tonight.
Earlier this year, McClure appointed Paul Anthony and Frank Pintabone to the Board.
What this means is that the Executive will soon be in control of the GPA.

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.
Now Fire Lucious and that ridiculous law firm from Philadelphia
ReplyDeleteLangen’s supreme arrogance on display. Finally looks like the end of Team Lushis and Langen.

ReplyDeleteIs this appropriate? This is a government overreach of an independent authority. This happens after someone on county council did a witch hunt on this authority.
