Northampton County Republican Chair Glenn Geissinger has confirmed that he has banned four committee members from attending monthly meetings until a criminal investigation of their behavior has concluded. He declined to identify the members, but I have learned that the proscribed members are elected state committee members Debra Biro, Melanie Heilman, Steve Lynch and Richard Morea.
This quartet is alleged to have disrupted a meeting in June with an extremely intrusive personal attack against two members. Lynch later gloated about it on his Facebook page. I decline to specify the nature of this ugly onslaught and refuse to publish any comments that attempt to go into the details. These two members have been damaged enough.
Geissinger informed me that the state committee authorized him to disallow these state committee members until the criminal matter is resolved.
None of these members attempted to crash last night's meeting. Local police were put on notice.
Lynch, incidentally, is a failed candidate for Northampton County Exec.
