Last night, Northampton County Council voted unanimously to endorse a gift ban proposed by Executive Lamont McClure. Though the county's Home Rule Charter already contains a gift ban, the county's Administrative Code included so many exceptions as to render it meaningless.
McClure's gift ban amends the Administrative Code to make it consistent with the Home Rule Charter.
It follows the gift ban imposed earlier this year by Governor Josh Shapiro.
Council member Ron Heckman said he was initially "taken aback" by the proposal. But after speaking to Council Solicitor, "I understand what [McClure's] doing and it makes sense.",
Heckman and Council member Kevin Lott sponsored the gift ban ordinance.
