Today’s Morning Call plants an article designed to dispose Northampton County Council to approve a motion at tonight’s meeting not to proceed with a Quo Warranto legal action against the Michael Solomon-Glenn Reibman General Purpose Authority (GPA). Council’s precipitous and premature action on this matter is meant to counter council member Ron Angle’s motion to pursue the Quo Warranto. Joining The Morning Call in prejudicing the Quo Warranto are county council solicitor Brian Monahan and county administration attorney B. Lincoln Treadwell.

A vote against the Quo Warranto by council’s three Democratic members is not unexpected: Two of their Democratic colleagues, Greg Zebrowski, both business partner and campaign client of political consultant Michael Solomon who decided in the wake of the Solomon scandal not to seek re-election, and Marilyn Lieberman, who lost her seat to last November’s elections, were appointed to the GPA by Reibman illegally. In one act, Reibman illegally fused three governmental bodies - executive, legislative, and a Municipality Authorities Act-sanctioned authority (the GPA) - into one - bodies that by law are required to exist and to act independently.

While writing this newsletter, BillyBytes’ editor received information regarding city of Easton reprisals taken against him two years ago for delinquent per capita taxes. These reprisals violated Pennsylvania Act 50, as embodied in Scranton Times vs. Scranton Single Tax Office of 1999 and upheld by the commonwealth’s supreme court. BillyBytes now possesses a written decision by Northampton County District Attorney John M. Morganelli in which he refused to prosecute Easton’s violations of Act 50.

It’s not so ironic that this information arrived at the time of this writing. The reading public learns more each day of official wrong-doing in Northampton County and its seat, the city of Easton. This wrong-doing involves that of the county’s top law enforcement officer, Morganelli, whom BillyBytes has now exposed as obstructing justice in the case of Henry Rodriquez vs. Northampton County and the illegal GPA and its of necessity illegal $111 million megabond.

This failure by Morganelli to perform his public duty is incriminating. It is a pattern of behavior established in 1998 when he declined to pursue charges of political campaign violations against Solomon, but instead referred the matter to the office of Attorney General J. Michael Fisher.

It’s the opinion of BillyBytes that only Morganelli and Fisher possess the legal authority to pursue Quo Warranto and that the commonwealth’s law does not empower Morganelli to confer this authority on Monahan and Treadwell. This is a strategy, leaked in today’s Morning Call, to have Monahan recommend to council tonight that it kill Quo Warranto.

Morganelli, the Glenn Reibman administration, and county council conspire to murder Quo Warranto at tonight's council meeting when they hope witnesses to it will be distracted by the controversial parking garage and Green Future Fund issues.

These conspirators have brought Forks Township business consultant Drew Lewis into their web, albeit reluctantly because of his misgivings about the megabond’s legality. Reibman, who’s using Lewis as a trial balloon, is submitting his name to Pennsylvania secretary of state’s office in Harrisburg.

This is also a red herring since the SoS cares nothing about who’s appointed, but only about the articles that incorporate an authority. The courts, however, do care about this issue when the appointments corrupt, destroy public confidence, and violate the legal autonomy of the executive, legislative, and authorities branches of government.

This explains the panic and chaos in the Government Center.
