Conahan allowed Toole to put tooth paste back in the tube
What do you think would have happened if the feds were in town with the fiasco that Wil Toole pulled off a decade ago?
Let’s just take a look at one instance.
First, disgraced judge Michael Conahan dismissed the charges only after Toole paid back $19,000 of the $30,000 Toole ran off with (click here to view the article).
Geez, this sounds awfully familiar.
Karen Holley paid the money she robbed from the Sanitary Authority. Read More ...

With 45 days left on Wall's term, he goes on $1000 junket
Wyoming Area Board member Gerry Wall must really like chocolate.
With approximately 45 days left until Wyoming Area School Board member Gerry Wall is no longer a school director, he continues to spend our hard earned tax dollars.

Amesbury, Hughes and Gartley |

Handicapping the Judicial race
Many politcos have been attempting to handicap this judicial race.

With this, Amesbury will be tough to beat.
So that leaves Tina Gartley and Dick Hughes.
