PA Board needs to rid black eye
I was disappointed at December’s Pittston Board meeting.
I really thought Bob Linskey would have attempted to push through his idea to have the work session on a different evening than the regular meeting.
What’s the worst that could have happened? The vote could have gone down majority/minority lines. And, if that happened, what a great issue for the next election.
As we wrote a few weeks back, this is actually a good idea.
Like it or not, Pittston Area has a black eye. This black eye will haunt the district for decades.
This black eye isn’t about Tony Rostock and a football coach.
This black eye is about a couple of crooks who sold out the district to the highest bidder who would line their pockets. Read More ...

New WA majority playing their cards
Remember the line in Godfather III: “Keep your friends close but you enemies closer.”
This could sum up how things are playing out on the Wyoming Area Board.
Many in the Gil Dominick and Frank Cassarella camp weren’t too pleased Toni Valenti was appointed Secretary of the board.
In fact, Casarealla abstained on the appointment.
During this past election there were at least four factions: LaNunziata; Aufiere; Bolin and Marianacci; and Dominick and Casarella.
All four were concerned with getting themselves elected. It was only at the end when LaNunziata was trying to parley the Bolin and Marianacci votes into his own. Read More ...

There is another option for Luzerne County
The way many see it there are only two ways to get Luzerne County out of the mess we’re in.
One, raise revenues/taxes
Two, cut expenses.
There is a third, which I will get to later
No one understands the mess we’re in better than our newest County Commissioner Tom Cooney.
You see, Cooney has been in private business for quite a while running one of the leading architectural and engineering firms in the valley.
Cooney, year after year, understood that if his firm could not bring in the revenues to support the expenses, he was left with two choices.
One, cut expenses. Or two, borrow money Read More ...

Obama is one sharp cookie
You know our President.
Yea, President Barack Obama.
He’s so freakin smart it scares me.
This past week, all by himself, he figured out that Al Qaeda was responsible for the Christmas day attack.
Or, should I say, as Obama put it, “alleged attack.”
Golly, this guy is so sharp.
Careful too.
Up until this past Friday he used “alleged” any time he referred to the terrorist. Read More ...
