“Out Damned Spot”
Nancy, When I awoke this morning with the idea of e-mailing you, I first checked some of my www.billybytes.com Website articles and http://www.billybytes.com/blog/.
I also looked in my wallet on my bedside nightstand for the scrap of paper containing the name of your U.S. Senator John McCain’s legislative aide in Tucson.
The Continuing Corruption in Northampton County and Its Seat Easton
Nothing symbolizes the corruption in the City of Easton, Pennsylvania, than its parking meters.
Corruption in Nothampton County and Its Seat Easton
An officer of that orgnization is the corrupt Easton City Councilman Ken Brown, a conspirator with other officials of Northampton County and its seat Easton of the city’s predominantly African-American Dutchtown-Gallows Hill neighborhood, which he and his collaborators sacrificed to the county and the city for the county courthouse and prison expansion, a boondoggle that in itself is a major fraud.
“Lehigh Valley Corruption
My untitled blog posted of November 21, 2006, linked to The Morning Call Girl’s reporter-pimp Matt Assad, titled “Traffic planners to shine a light on Cemetery Curve,” contains these two paragraphs:
“The link [Assad’s] is especially relevant to the “Bushkill Village” project because it includes the property between the Delaware River and the former Simon Silk Mill at 13th St., developable property that lies between that section of of Bushkill Creek and the ‘Cemetery Curve’ described in the link [italics added].”
Northampton County, PA, and Warren County, NJ, the “Lehigh VAlley’s” Version of Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi
Please read article posted by Wally Edge of “Inside Edge - NJ Politics @ PoliticsNJ.com:,” titled “Boss Perrucci,” a Philipsburg, New Jersey native and BethWorks and partner of Sheldon Adelson, owner of the Las Vegas Sands/Venetian Casinos of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Macao, People’s Republic of China, and owner of the majority of stock of the proposed Sands Casino on the site of the former Bethlehem Steel site in South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Wally Edge says of Perrucci: “It’s tough to tell a Democrate from a Republican in Warren County these days, but it’s clear that former Warren County Democratic Chairman (and Bob Torricelli campaign treasurer) Michael Perrucci is emerging as a significant power in solidly-Republican Warren County. A fledgling law firm, Florio Perrucci Steinhardt & Fader, includes former Democratic Governor Jim Florio, current Warren County Republican Chairman (and Lopatcong Mayor) Douglas Steinhardt; Paul Fader, the ex-Mayor of Englewood who served as Chief Counsel to Governors James McGreevey and Richard Codey; abd Bloomsbury Mayor Mark Peck, a former aide to Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll who ran for the GOP Assembly nomination in the 23rd district last year.”
Corruption in Northampton County, PA, and Warren nd Hunterdon Counties in New Jersey
For unknown reasons, the blog I posted earlier today from the Wally Edge blog did not post. So here it is again:
“It’s tough to tell a Democrate from a Republican in Warren County these days, but it’s clear that former Warren County Democratic Chairman (and Bob Torricelli campaign treasurer) Michael Perrucci is emeging as a significant power in solidly Republican Warren County. A fledgling law firm, Florio Perrucci Steinhardt & Fader, includes former Democratic Governor Jim Florio, curent Warren County Re;publican Chairman (and Lopatcong Mayor) Douglas Steinhardt; Paul Fader, the ex-Mayor of Englewood who served as Chief Counsel to Governors James E. McGreevey and Richrd Codey; and Bloomsbury Mayor Mark Peck, a former aide to Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll who ran for the GOP Assembly monimation the the 23rd district last year.”
Corruption in Northampton County, Its Seat Easton, and Pennsylvania
Contrary to assertions by so-called Lehigh-Valley’s Ramblings blogger Bernie O’Hare, the “valley’s” mainstream media including print media The Express-Times and The Morning Call and electronic medium WFMZ-69 TV, these media persist in managing the “valley’s” news.
Today’s edition of The Express-Times in a “news” article implies, for example, that Easton’s planning commission gave final approval to Ashley Development’s 9-story condominium-retail complex at last night’s meeting.
The Corruption in Yoknapatawpha County, Pennsylvania
Dowd was first elected to Northampton County Council in the late 1990’s or early 2000’s, about the time Glenn Reibman was elected the county’s executive.
