"Gracedale nursing home is on the market and could fetch $30 million. A funding deal for Bethlehem's SteelStacks performing arts center will net the county more money than originally anticipated. And, next year's budget is balanced a month early without a tax increase. Angle couldn't have gotten this far alone. The so-called Slate Belt bulldog relies on the support of an overwhelming conservative majority — Republicans outnumber Democrats 7-2 — and a patient, practical executive in Democrat John Stoffa."
"No matter what he says about me I still love him and that's not something he's used to," said Stoffa, who campaigned on a promise to develop better relations with council. In clashes with Stoffa's predecessor, Angle accused Glenn Reibman of wasting tax dollars and likened his administration to Hitler's Third Reich."
Gracedale was first said to probably bring in $35 million dollars, then 30, then 25 to 28. The truth is that the bids came in much much lower, or they surely would have revealed the numbers.
Oh, yeah, even the republicans don't care for Angles antics, they too are starting to move away from him. We will see how far in May.
The budget was reported to have been padded so that Angle could look good. The problem is that no matter what Angle does, he never looks good. That is because The People know who and what he truly is.
Angle was once overheard saying to another politician, "you will never get far in politics because your too honest" WOW, since the Mcall has reported the Angle has gone so far, we guess that means that Angle must be real dishonest.
Who would have thought Angle is dishonest? Only 92.22 percent of the Express Times readers. Oh, by the way, ET is proving to be a better read than Mcall these days. Perhaps we will drop our subscription of the Mcall and sign up for the ET.
Regarding Stoffa, we actually believe that Mr. Angle has promised Stoffa something good for his retirement. See, we know that Stoffa does not care for Angle much. But hey, he has to play the game. After all, he is on his last leg in politics.
More to come...

I read the Morning Call front page article endorsing Angle as Council's president since he would be more tame while he held the gavel. Is that reporter alive and well?Is this how low the newspaper goes now to endorse individuals who can be a bit more civilized by voting that person into a higher position?
ReplyDeleteWhile viewing the Council meetings on-line, I have heard our current President use profanity from the bench. I have heard him demean both men and women,especially women. I have heard him literally yell at call citizens' names if he doesn't like what these people say.He makes faces at any citizen with whom he diagress. I have seen him walk away from the bench while people are addressing him. I could go on and on,but the message and the other 2 articles in the MCall just under the endorsing one move into Angles real-life problems.
There have been throughout history those bullies who have promised to take care of the people when they, after a time, end up taking over everything.
This reporter could not have written this article without a special interest "something" for the newapaper.
The MC article wasn't describing the same Angle I've seen sitting on the dias. The one I'm familiar with is rude, disrespectful and is a bigot. That is --unless you share his views. This tyrant is even demeaning when dealing with fellow coucil members. How they can restrain themselves when dealing with him is beyond me. Let's hope they develop the courage to NOT re-elect this person as president in Jan. If the coucil does not have someone better to lead them then they should ALL be replaced!
