They haven't for a good decade or more, and current actions are showing that nothing will change. The hope was that with different leadership on the committee, we'd see a stronger push for the local candidates, but bitching about by-laws and only worrying about bus trips with Cartwright to DC seem to be the only things this group of Dems feel is important.

Everybody must give until it hurts. That's the promise we made to our seniors. We cannot let them be thrown on the streets to suffer and die.

If he can do that, he can run successfully for county exec - and I never once thought I would use those words in the same sentence.<br /><br />Yes, I am also aware of McClure's shortcomings and past actions, but what's the rest of the Northampton County Democratic Committee doing to resolve this fiasco? Why don't we see press releases from Mr Garvin decrying the state of affairs at the courthouse offices? Why aren't we seeing some Democrats emerging as executive candidates?<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
