Langen, Donahue Resign From GPA

It's getting difficult to keep up with the game of musical chairs being played at Northampton County's embattled General Purpose Authority (GPA). Since January, the GPA has lost Helene Whitaker (her term expired) as well as Neal Koplin, Peg Ferraro, J Michael Dowd and Executive Lamont McClure. He stepped down after just eight days. But the music appears to have stopped for the last time. Some time today, GPA Chair Shawn Langen finally resigned. Board member Shawn Donahue, who had been siding with Langen, also stepped down.

In a strongly worded resolution on June 21, Northampton County Council called for Langen's resignation.

I am delighted this has happened without litigation. But what makes me even more happy is that I no longer have to wake up at the crack of dawn to cover one of their meetings.

So now, instead of business people who are relatively non-political, the GPA is now ruled by a bunch of slimey political hacks like Pintibonehead and Dirtinger. God help us!

Damn Bernie! This went fast. Wasn't it just a few months ago this crew was going to sue the county? Seriously the GPA and their Allentown Attorney claimed they were large and in charge. This was a pretty fast fall in the political world.

You have to write an obituary summing up the Fall of the mighty. What they were at their zenith and what events transpired to bring about the total collapse. Is there any one event which sealed the deal.

Amazing.

When do we get our 800k for phony legal bills back? Nothing worse then a lawyer that overbills and takes advantage.

It was the Fiancé Committee meeting I watched online. They really held his feet to the fire. Good for our officials. Sad they didn't they do this sooner. I saw they had their meeting notes and everyt8ing.

Bob Ryan of KDDI America has lost the plot, a total disgrace to his country and company. I'm guessing Joe Murray took the spot from your son, get over it chump and start praying for your salvation before Bernie gets Morganelli involved maybe even Orloski!
