Malissa Davis RIP

Malissa Davis, VP of Bethlehem Tp's Board of  Commissioners, passed away on Friday after a lengthy illness.  She had served on Bethlehem Tp's Board since 2016, and prior to that, was a regular at their biweekly meetings. 

An environmentalist, Davis was initially drawn to township government by the rapid pace of development in a once rural area. Her background at Foster Wheeler as a cost estimator enabled her to wade through the weeds of line items at budget time. She also was an advocate for open government. She encouraged public comment and organized informal monthly "Meet the Commissioners" meetings at the community center to hear the concerns of residents.

Post a Comment

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.
