The Republican hierarchy realized after a year of being represented by Angle, it was time to dump him as the "face" of the Party in Northampton County. As I heard said by one Party kingpin, he is such an embarrassment.<br /><br />Cusick has political ambitions and I am sure he was given the "talk", about sticking it to Angle to get him out of the spotlight.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see if the bulldog becomes a pussy-cat under Cusick. No Council President other than Wayne Grube stood up to him. Even Dowd, who is a wuss was a wuss when he was President.<br /><br />Stoffa won't have Angle carrying water for him as President. The only reason you need a County Council President to spend thirty hours a week at the courthouse is if you have a meaningless Administration. So I can see why Angle was there, since this Administration has been missing in action since 2006.<br /><br />Mrs. LiptonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-61847028592951289992011-01-03T23:17:57.662-05:002011-01-03T23:17:57.662-05:00Agreed.

If he engaged in a conference call, back room meeting or round robin, it would be a violation. It is clear that the attempt to oust him involved several members acting in concert, and there may have been a SA violation on their part. But even that is just a technical violation bc they ratified what they did in private in a later public meeting. So I see no SA violation on either side. I do see one member of Council, Peg Ferraro, who may have acted deceitfully. I like Peg very much and it is possible that Ron misunderstood her when she told him she'd vote for him. I'd like to think the best of her.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-37601957105474747832011-01-03T22:54:12.536-05:002011-01-03T22:54:12.536-05:00"But when you give your word to someone and t..."But when you give your word to someone and then change your mind, you should really contact that person and tell him you changed your mind.

However, I don't think RA should have been asking people for their votes on this. That's breaking the Sunshine Act. And RA nearly admits it. He said he went around making sure people were lined up on his side. Isn't that breaking the Sunshine Act? How would he know that he had enough votes to become President again? This has to be debated in open forum.
