Latona replacement should have no political baggage. ties

2012-05-12T11:03:58Z

   With the Pittston Area Board about to appoint a replacement for Ross Latona, the board is at a crossroad.
   First, the board should seek someone who will agree to fill out the unexpired term of Latona and has no plans to run for re-election next year. Someone who has no political risk or nothing to gain and that would be evident by not running.
   Next, the board can stay on the road that continues to have a dark cloud hanging over the school by appointing someone who is aligned with them politically.

Pundits wrong on Congressional race

2012-05-12T11:04:07Z

   Since Matt Cartwright’s trouncing victory over sitting Congressman Tim Holden, all the political pundits in the mainstream media have been saying the district wanted a liberal congressman.
   Well, I hate to rain on their parade but nothing could be further than the truth.
   For example, my friend Kevin Bluam in The Times Leader opined “On the issues Cartwright was strong. Be it jobs, our regional economy, health insurance for pre-existing conditions or coverage for young adults in their early 20s unable to find affordable health insurance on their own, Cartwright was standing up and speaking out. There was no misinterpreting his meaning.”

Latona to resign PA Board on Tuesday

2012-05-09T13:23:51Z

   Pittston Area Board member Dr Ross Latona will be tendering his resignation at this up coming School Board meeting Tuesday, May 15, 2012
   Latona confirmed his sudden resignation was based on “personal reasons” noting, “I’ve enjoyed my tenure as a director and accomplished quite a bit.”
   Last year, Latona was aligned with then majority members Bob Linskey, Terry Best, Rich Gorzkowski and Marilyn Starna.
   After some internal wranglings for a teaching job, he struck a deal with the other side and quickly flipped to join the ranks with sitting Board President Tony Guarigilia.
