After months of foot-dragging, Northampton County Council last week finally introduced the gift ban ordinance first proposed by Executive Lamont McClure in April. It only took them three months to get around to it.
Northampton County's Home Rule Charter has a pretty clear prohibition on gifts, but the County's Administrative Code contains so many exceptions you can drive a Mack Truck through it. What McClure has proposed is akin to Governor Josh Shapiro's gift ban.
Ironically, the ordinance is sponsored by Council member Ron Heckman, who did nothing but complain about it.

“…is akin to Governor Josh Shapiro's gift ban.”
Hopefully that’s worth more than Governor Shapiro’s word.
