BAD MUSIC TO MY EARS

Rumor has it that a newly elected State Rep (eddie day) stood up in front of the democratic caucus during a discussion of eliminating the rep's per diem. eddie day, supposedly, went on a rampage about how he needs the per diem to buy new clothes for his state rep job.

Locals Mundy, Euchis and Yudichiak had to grab him aside and tell him to shut up unless he wanted to be known as the "clothes man"

NICE START EDDIE, YOU CAN ONLY IMPROVE AFTER THAT START!

So much fo good government and representing the voters back home. Guess we elected a musician who owns only bellbottoms.

Its the Bellbottom Blues for eddie day.

Make room for Daddy or Who's your Daddy?

Either way Todd Vondeheid is the Daddy! Rumor has it that Mike Lombardo is getting a $100,000+ job as VP of LCCC to make room for the $175,000 job at the Chamber for Todd Boy.

When will people wake up and see how the Chamber is destroying Wyoming Valley in general and Wilkes-Barre City in specific.

ELECTION RESULTS CAUSED BY ARROGANCE !!!!!!

First, I must admit that I was wrong in my 121st state rep prediction. Eddie Day won BIG!

I watched election coverage all Tuesday night and into Wednesday. I have watched and listened to pundit after pundit analyze and over analyze the results. I heard all the exit polls indicate why the republicans lost their elections.

My personal belief is that one thing and one thing only lost the Rs the House and Senate and that is ARROGANCE. President Bush and all his R followers believed that they were right and that nothing anyone could say would change there minds. It took a thumping by the Ds to push Bush into firing Rummy.

I was thrilled and scared at the same time by the results. I was thrilled that America spoke up and told Bush and his Rs that we don't believe them anymore. I was scared and still am that the Ds don't do the same thing and screw up the chance for a D president in 2008.

Disagreement, debate and compromise are what the Framers intended. The history of the Framers and most of the leaders of our country disagreed, debated and compromised and came up with our "CONSTITUTION". Winston Churchill once said that "democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried."

Government works best when all work together towards a common goal. We don't all have to agree on how to get there, but if we work together we can more efficiently get to where we want to go.

So, to all new and old elected officials, the people have spoken. Let's all work together and more forward together.

Election Predictions!

My predictions for Tuesday:

Rendell.........Big

Casey............Big

Carney..........10%

Katsock.........5%

Yes, that's right! I believe that Katsock will knock off Eddie Day!

Many discontented Democrats will vote for Katsock and put her over the top.

As for the last comment from my last post. I believe that Reilly will have trouble retaining his Clerk of Courts seat. He spent a lot of his war chest on the state rep race and doesn't have it for a race as Clerk. After his third place showing in rep race, former supporters will run from him if a legit opponent runs. Look for a strong dem candidate from lower Luzerne County to run against him and win. The Kanes can't help him anymore.

I predict that Brian O'Donnell will run for Mayor and win, especially after Mayor Realtor's bid rigging antics come out and the state starts an investigation.

Comments on Mayor Realtor

There were two comments posted this morning on the Wilkes-Barre Taxpayers Blog. Does anyone have any actual information on this comments? They are copied below.

Comment 1:
"Next council meeting ask council and the mayor how they purchased $60,000.00 worth of vehicles from a subsidary of a landfill owner from lackawanna county without bidding the contract. "

Comment 2:
"Oh yea, I forgot! There may also be a local contractor repairing catch basins in W-B for the entire term of the present administration. I hope they were bid. I beieve that piece mealing a project to avoid bidding requirements is a violation of state law. Oh! I am sorry, I forgot that Mayor Realtor has the same policy as Pres. G.W., if you don't agree with him you are anti-W-B or anti-american. It would also be a shame if a top administrator appointed by Mayor Realtor was a former employee of this company. "

If there is some truth to these comment, we the Taxpayers should know all the TRUTH!!!!
