NorCo Council Moves Oct 17 Meeting to Oct 24 So It Can Celebrate UNESCO Designation

All nine members of Northampton County Council voted last week to move its scheduled October 17 meeting to October 24. Reason? Members want to join in the celebration of the designation of Moravian settlements in Bethlehem, Northern Ireland and Germany as World Heritage Site. This designation had been sought since 2002, and it includes about 10 acres in parts of historic Bethlehem. 

According to Council President Lori Vargo Heffer, the regularly scheduled October 17 meeting would conflict with a "big dinner" scheduled that evening.

Council member John Brown suggested just canceling the meeting, but Attorney Kevin Kelleher (sitting in for Solicitor Chris Spadoni) sagely observed that the Home Rule Charter requires that Council must meet twice every month. In addition, Heffner remarked that Council has a lot of work.

    Lazy Lori wants dinner. Boring Brown wants to violate the Charter. I sense a TikTok in the making.

    John Brown can’t wait to reinstitute co-insurance on the employee’s health plan.

    This is the worst Council in the history of Home Rule. Nothing is getting done except the placement of tampons in restrooms. Vargo Heffner is a total failure. She’s only interested in mini-vacations on the taxpayers dime.

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.
