Progressive Townships/Counties have seen their bridges fail and "REPLACED" them for the safety of motorists. This bridge could have been replaced years ago had it not been filibustered. <br /><br />Instead, authorities in Lower Saucon have fought, interfered and opposed every effort to rectify this situation. Now, travelers are without, yet another, thoroughfare in Hellertown/Lower Saucon <br /><br />This did not have to happen, AND did not happen overnight. Lower Saucon/Hellertown Voters: Remember this each time you encounter the bridge-closed signs (plural) at each end of Route 412 and respond accordingly in the voting booth.

The biggest issue most retirees from the county have is the unrealistically low major medical limit. In the past some of the county executives have reset the limit for Part B, we are hoping that Mr. McClure will do the same. He received a great deal of support because Brown refused and we heard that Mr. McClure agreed with the reset.<br /><br />Without that reset, many retirees cannot even use their retirement health care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-41647129034610531792018-05-06T18:03:55.333-04:002018-05-06T18:03:55.333-04:00"Whatever the deal is at time of retirement i...<em>"Whatever the deal is at time of retirement is the deal that will be in place for that employee."</em><br /><br />Actually, whatever the deal is at the time the employee started employment is the deal that must be honored at retirement.
