You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
No hard decision here. A non-transparent & crony supporter of tax cheats, glorified unqualified employees and questionable background v. a man who has strived to be good and cares about the people, the employees and the County in general; McLure sounds right. At least he stayed with county for 10-years, not like Brown who wanted to run out, after two years, to become Auditor General.
ReplyDeleteSimple choice here, McClure is the way to go. John from the get go appointed a new prison director without following proper process and a 20% salary bump compared to outgoing director, and is doing everything in his power to give him a new prison. If left to Brown it would be right here by Gracedale. Can't elect Brown to continue robbing Northampton of hard earned money by financing a prison which possibly is not even needed, but certainly not in the midst of Nazareth/Upper Nazareth. Vote McClure
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for a change.
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for McClure.
This really is my favorite website about John Brown:
ReplyDeleteBrown Corrupt, Callous and Crony-Filled
The links are great and the photo is fabulous!
