Please refer to the results of the last election and see he'd already lost the confidence of half the county's voters. Get out of your bunker and understand he's one of the least popular incumbents in any office in the Lehigh Valley. As Casey Stengel said, "You could look it up." He wouldn't survive a recall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-5265455814375416102010-08-24T19:56:50.006-04:002010-08-24T19:56:50.006-04:00I find it amazing that anyone, with half a brain, ...I find it amazing that anyone, with half a brain, could reasonably criticize Cunningham. He has shrunk the County Government in a responsible way. I find it laughable that some on this board would even make comments that balancing a budget should be done on the back of the very same people that provide the services. Cunningham has done a professional job in Bethlehem and the County and is a class act. Can't say the same about his Northampton County counterpart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-9026342537716692502010-08-24T19:34:21.245-04:002010-08-24T19:34:21.245-04:00Where is Scott Ott when we need someone, anyone wi...Where is Scott Ott when we need someone, anyone with some sense of honesty and fiscal responsibility?<br /><br />The guy with money from returned soda bottles nearly beat Cunningham, despite Don's huge war chest and impressive list of connected donors.<br /><br />By last November, half of Lehigh County voters had already decided Don was incompetent liar and should be fired for his gross mismanagement of the county. I wonder what that number is now?<br /><br />At least Scott succeeded in substantially damaging any hopes this Rendell stooge had to take his horror show statewide. <br /><br />Lehigh County took one for the entire state. Unfortunately, it's going to cost a lot.
