County Free for All on Pittston Politics

   It looks like our “Free for All” was a success last week with 52 posts. Most addressed West Pittston.
   This week, let’s try it again.
   However, we’ll split it into three: County, East Side and West Side.
   Blog here about the county.
   So have at it; no name calling; keep it above board and unsubstantiated allegations will not be approved.
   However, if you have an allegation and you disclose your actual identity, your post will be given serious consideration.

As I had mentioned in a blog Sat. That had the life expectancy of 6-8 hrs before the new edition came out. I was making a comparrative point between Pittston City Council and sheriff. How people came to an uproar that the 2nd runnerup in a council seat, did not take the seat, immediately. Well, what does the Governor have to say. We voted for theese people. Yes, I have had supported Savokinas, but I still want what our people, the one's that voted for the other cantidates, to become officials. The ones that We picked! Of course I know who that is. But I would vote for him unilatterally in any Demican election. Sincerely, Bill Gaffney Pittston

Huh???

So, based on the logic of awarding the vacated city council seat to the guy who was runner-up to Best, Gov Rendel should appoint the next highest vote-getter behind Savokinas?

Easy; that would be Stankus. He received the 2nd highest number of votes.

I feel our next sheriff should be Frank "Waxie" Vaxmonsky. He is intellegent, tough, honest, and fair.

Or maybe instead of a sheriff Barack Obama could appoint a Czar to the position. That would be change we could believe in!

Susie "Waxie" would be good. I also like Stephen Vitek or Joe Vitek any Vitek really these guys are no nonsense take charge guys. Why don't they get into this political battle. Stankus had his time. Has anyine

Hey JoeV, several times over the last few months you reported rumors that Toole would be stepping down, hes up to his neck in it when is the bum going to be taken in or step down before hes taken in?
