There is nothing unethical about that. But what is unethical is that he also comments at nearly every township meeting about different township issues that have no bearing on his office. This is improper. I brought this to his attention last night and he walked off, saying he is a citizen and has that right. He does not. He gives up that right when he becomes a judge. <br /><br />"In appearing before governmental bodies or consulting with government officials, magisterial district judges must be mindful that they remain subject to other provisions of these Conduct Rules, such as Rule 1.3, prohibiting magisterial district judges from using the prestige of office to advance their own or others’ interests, Rule 2.10, governing public comment on pending and impending matters, and Rule 3.1(C), prohibiting magisterial district judges from engaging in extrajudicial activities that would appear to a reasonable person to undermine the magisterial district judge’s independence, integrity, or impartiality."<br /><br />http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/207/chapter51/s3.2.htmlBernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-78348664444264292152017-04-07T08:21:46.491-04:002017-04-07T08:21:46.491-04:00Bethlehem spends on what it wants and cries for wh...Bethlehem spends on what it wants and cries for what it needs and gets the county to pay for it.
