Just look at Upper Macungie and you will see how that township dismantled the Berks Lehigh Regional Department all in the name of local control.

The people in boroughs are there bc they love their communities. Township Supervisors are much the same, and tend to be very bright people. City councils are more urbane, but if they are more intelligent, I haven't noticed.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-75278315143311377062013-12-17T15:33:22.977-05:002013-12-17T15:33:22.977-05:00Caption for photo: "Let's go boys, time t...Caption for photo: "Let's go boys, time to go pick da taters..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-59643780002586949492013-12-17T12:05:23.472-05:002013-12-17T12:05:23.472-05:00Its attitude is professional.

If that bothers you, that says something about you.<br /><br />Nagle, who appears to be the driving force in LN, went out of his way to say his concerns had nothing to do with the officers. It is just the cost. <br /><br />I doubt LNT could operate as well and at the same cost with its own force, but my guess is he wants to run the numbers. <br /><br />There is also an intangible that Nagle needs to consider. He can look at Nazareth, Plainfield, Bangor, Hellertown, Wind Gap, etc., for examples. Municipalities with their own forces are going to have all the drama associated with it. It is not really a good deal to get involved in these little wars. A regional force removes the drama. To me, that is worth a lot of money, and saves costs for municipal government in intangible ways.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-10256924178240135982013-12-17T11:51:35.377-05:002013-12-17T11:51:35.377-05:00this police dept. is just full of attitude. who n...this police dept. is just full of attitude. who needs them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
