I neglected to ask the Scavello supporter who spoke to me if I could quote him, and naming him without his permission would not be cricket. <br /><br />Besides, the identity if this person is irrelevant. What matters is what he said and that it is being said by someone who supports Mario. <br /><br />You can criticize me for not asking.

The roads in almost her entire district are disgraceful and as far as the "transplants" driving to NENJ or NYC, they aren't buying gas in PA anyway. In fact, if you are anywhere NEAR NJ, you are buying there. Always been that way. Both Brown and Scavello have been whispering that HB 76 won't pass, but then they both knew that before they sponsored it. Scavello is all about Scavello and Brown was his second vote. Wonder who will adopt her when he's gone from the House.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-40242971107811051082014-09-04T17:20:34.084-04:002014-09-04T17:20:34.084-04:00Why is the Scavello supporter not named or linked ...Why is the Scavello supporter not named or linked like the person behind the "single digit approval" quote?

So it is NOT just a YouTube video. <br /><br />His (Scavello) protege Rosemary Brown (R) voted against the gas tax Scavello voted for. It was the first time she did not just nod and agree with him. Considering all those NYC transplants in the Poconos who drive to NENJ or NYC for a living, makes you wonder what Scavello was thinking.<br /><br />Also, word has spread recently that behind the scenes, Scavello admitted that HB76 could never pass. Yet he claims to support it publicly. <br /><br />He said once he was going to sue to get more funding for schools. Only to quietly let that promise vanish. Has never had an actual bill passed in over a decade in PA's Beltway.<br /><br />Scavello's problem in this race is the Northampton County side pays attention to more local news than Monroe side: where most watch NYC TV on BRC or Dish and read the NY Daily News and Post over the Pocono Record. <br /><br />Not to mention the Northampton County side is more densely populated than many of the more rural Monroe Townships. <br /><br />Scavello is nothing more than a Republican version of Bob Freeman. Great at getting elected--sucks at actually doing anything other than photo-ops. <br /><br />At least Bob Freeman never calls critics up on the phone to belittle them and claim they are breaking laws (when they are not), or troll comment sections ala 1 Vote Joe. Can't say the same for Mario Scavello. <br /><br />And, has anyone seen him in Northampton County recently? It seems he only cares about winning Monroe.
