Easton NAACP to Host Candidates' Night For Judicial Candidates on Oct 25

Easton's NAACP will host a candidates' night for judicial candidates Nancy Aaroe (Rep.) and Brian Panella (Dem.) on Wednesday, October 25, 6 pm, at the Palmer Library, located within the Palmer Tp Municipal Center off of Route 248. 

Both Aaroe and Panella are well-versed in family law. I would be interested in hearing whether they think co-parenting classes are a good idea and whether evaluations from outside experts should be admissible. I'd also like their views on whether a non-lawyer should be running a custody division. 

I was unable to schedule s candidates' night in Nazareth because a number of residents complained that they felt unsafe when over 100 people came in from the outside during the previous candidate forum. 

The only person they really need to worry about is me.

  1. Why no candidate nights for Controller?

  2. Nancy Aaroe has 32 years of quality legal experience under her belt. Panella has 6 years, filled with 6 (or 7, I've lost count) part time appointments. That's all I need to know.

  3. Scared of people coming from the outside? Fellow citizens that share the same county government? What a bunch of nonsense!

  4. I agree, but there it is. Fortunately, I was contacted by a friend who provides private security from retired police officers, and he has just offered to do so next time I host an event, so it will return next election.

  5. Brian Panella judge? How much experience litigating or as a trial lawyer? Panella is attempting to ride his daddy's gown into a judgeship. How can he in good faith, with little to "no" experience run a courtroom? Nepotism is alive and well in Northampton County. Whatever happened to an attorney experiencing a long and respected legal career before vying for the top spot on the County court? If there is justice (no pun intended) Aaroe will get the job. At the minimum she brings thirty-two years of lawyering experience to the court. Maybe laws need to be enacted determining a required timeframe in the legal business, coupled with trial or courtroom experience before becoming eligible to run for a judgeship, were your rulings in the courtroom could ruin an individuals life.

  6. I’m not impressed with either of these choices. Maybe I’ll write-in Terry Houck — now wouldn’t that be fun! These candidate forums need to be held earlier (August🙄) due to mail-in ballots being sent out so early, thus extending election DAY to weeks.

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.
