   “I’ve voted with her 95% of the time, why is she (Valenti) bustin’ my nuts now, “ John Bolin mumbled under his breath at this past Wyoming Area Board meeting.
   It looks like my video camera missed one of those finer moments in Wyoming Area politics.
   Reports have it that there was some controversy and a stale mate over some transportation issues.
   At issue was the retention of three bus transportation drivers one of which was Jimmy Dennis’s sister.
   Toni Valenti along with Estelle Campenni, Nick DeAngelo and Sam Aritz wanted to terminate the agreement and contract it out.  They contended this would have resulted in an annual savings of $22,000. Read More ...

Good news for some, bad news for others
   I have good news for some this week and bad news for others.
   First the good news – for those who have complained that I should have my priorities in order because I play in my weekly golf league on Tuesdays instead of attending school board meetings, I lost in the playoffs consequently no more golf league.  That means I’ll be attending the monthly meetings
   Now the bad news – for those politicians who were happy as a pig in mud because I had golf leagues on Tuesday’s prohibiting me from attending the monthly board meeting, I lost in the plays and now I’ll be attending.
   Yes, it’ll be back to business as usual.
   I’ll be sure to come early, bring my video camera and get great videos of board presidents Mark Singer and John Bolin.

   Since our spring “Blogfest” was such a success, fellow blogger Gort and I have decided to do a fall “Blogfest.
   Yes, bloggers from throughout NEPA will be in attendance and this will be another chance to meet the faces behind the computer.
   It will be again held at Rooney’s Irish Pub on Main Street in Pittston on Friday, September 17th starting at 5:30.
   There will be another special treat.  Starting at 8:30 singer songwriter Lisa Bodnar will be performing.
   We have adopted Lisa’s song “Come Hell or High Water” as our theme with our “Kitchen Table Politics” videos.
   Many of you told me you really like her music and have asked about her.  Well, this will be your opportunity to put a face with the music. Read More ...
