I Won't Be Able to Kick Steve Barron Around Anymore

 

This meme was actually created by a member of Steve's staff. 

Over the past few weeks, I've had to bite my tongue when several readers suggested that Steve Barron would be running Northampton County should Tara Zrinski be elected as Executive. What they did not know is that Barron had already given notice of his intended resignation, which will take effect tomorrow at the end of the day. I kept quiet about it because some malicious people would almost certainly attempt to sabotage his new job. He is leaving county employment for a higher-paying job with considerably less stress, and I wish him the best. 

According to the meme, Barron has been providing content to bloggers on slow news days since 2007 and is a proud supporter of citizen journalism. That's right on the mark. 

I suspect that in tghe years to come, I may be able to start kicking Steve around again. He's the public official that County Council loves to hate, but he also is one of the few people in government who actually reads the Home Rule Charter and Administrative Code. True, he doesn't always follow it, but he tries. 

He'll be back.

    TZ could always hire McClure after his failed election try. After all, he does know the smoke and mirror ways of norco finances.

    I'm going to miss walking through his cigar smoke every morning as he sits outside and puffs away right in front of the 'no smoking' sign.

      Ever get a glimpse of him inside a Wawa in the candy bar aisle? If not there check the soda fountain.

    Well, good for him, but his arrogance may one day be his downfall.

    Did he ever pay back the county for the pay he collected while teaching and politicking on county time?

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.
