Last time I told you about NorCo Council member Tara Zrinski, she was abusing her public office to further her political ambitions as a State Representative candidate taking aim at incumbent Marcia Hahn. What made her conduct abusive is that she misrepresented facts about the controversial PennEast Pipeline winding is way from Luzerne County to Jersey. She fear-mongered, claiming incorrectly that homes, a maternity ward and several schools were in the blast zone. She accused Bethlehem Township officials, as well as Hahn and State Senator Lisa Boscola of failing to negotiate, and just taking the first offer extended. She even insinuated they had ulterior motives. Three Township Commissioners, two of whom are committed environmentalists, effectively rebutted her misinformation. But when County Council met last week on August 1, Zrinski offered no apology to fellow Council members for attempting to lead them astray. She instead had two Bethlehem Township residents in the audience, who were there to complain about the PennEast pipeline again. She also played politics again, this time about plastic.
Before the meeting started, a procession of three young men came to Council, carrying a video camera. Zrinski came out to greet them, and they asked to interview her. She readily agreed, but they met in the back room, away from the prying eyes of bottom-feeding bloggers.
Once the meeting started, she got up and recognized the three men. She had a Proclamation honoring Lehigh alum Sam Bencheghib because he is running across the US to raise awareness about plastic in our oceans.
Sam is running in recycled sneakers.
At the time of the meeting, Sam had only completed 100 miles of his cross-country run, but that was good enough for a bullshit Proclamation and a lengthy speech.
Zrinski bragged that she ran three miles herself.
2 years left for this one to be voted out, unless lying to the public for the job can be proven

ReplyDeleteNice Photo op. As a former amateur runner I always love to see the "gun runners", talk about chafe and cutting your circulation! Roll the sleeves down or wear a running top if you want to show off the "guns" Just never understood this idiotic behavior. What were they running for again?
ReplyDeleteWhy does every female politician sound like every guy's ex-wife? Try not to stereotype, but JFC.
