The Coalition does not believe that will happen. We do believe that it is a scare tactic being used to get the Coalition and The People who support us to back down, but, because we are the BOSS and CC is the SERVANT we will not back down, there is no logical reason why we should. What we will do in May or November is terminate the services of all servants who do not wish to serve any longer. And they can take that to the bank.
In an ideal USA, the servants would keep their words beginning with the first they usually use - I will fight for The People. It seems like that phrase is one used by many if not all politicians, and then they get into office and forget they ever used the phrase.
We the People are reasonable in every sense of the word, but we will not and should not be silent on these matters. Consider that in Berks county there is a teacher who posted some negative remarks about her students on-line. While her remarks may have been belittling to her students, they were not mean spirited. She believed what she wrote, but because she lives in a politically correct country, she will in all probability lose her job. Well, what we have in NorCo at this very moment is an autocrat that wants full supreme control of everything in the county, and is allowed by CC and the executive office to say and do virtually anything he wants to without consequence. Seriously, the teacher loses her job simply for expressing what she believes, but the contemptuous monarch can do as he pleases...does that sound reasonable to The People, absolutely not... and that is why We The People will not be silent.
What is our example teaching our posterity? That it is okay to be a bully, or to scream and yell at others while calling them despicable names. The greatest instruction being delivered in NorCo today by way of current events is that one better learn to do wrong in a right way so that they can get away with doing wrong...is that really the message our CC and Executive want to present to the county residents?
CC and the Executive have disgraced the county by allowing this despicable demeanor to continue, consequently The People now hold you responsible. Act like the leaders we thought you were when we elected you to represent us. You have to know that it is a privilege to be selected by The People, and as such, that privilege can be revoked by The People when The People lose trust and faith in you...how can we trust those who are less than honest with us?
I wonder if Mr. Stoffa realizes that many of the residents at Gracedale CAN read newspapers. What he did yesterday is to frighten the residents for no reason except for his own political gain through scare tactics.
ReplyDeleteFinally, the truth comes out.He keeps saying that he cares a great deal about the residents and that is the reason for his wanting to privatize.Well, he told all of them that one of two things is going to happen to them IF this American Right of the Vote is allowed to take place:
1. Scale down the number of residents.
2. Close it down and move the people away.
NOW, we all can see through that quiet demeaner and see the truth- he does not care one hoot about these residents. He wants his way or the highway. He can scare young and healthy people all he wants.
But he will NEVER be forgiven for his THREATS to the elderly of HIS county.
John, I always believed in your heart and mind that you really cared about the residents. Well, why don't you visit Gracedale and see for yourself what you did to the sick and elderly of your County with your threats and ego.
I now believe that you have, most definitely, sold your soul.
I hope that Council can see what you have done and find someway to bring peace and tranquility to our citizens who reside there!
How desperate can you be to sell the seniors out for the sake of your mismanagement.Even the infamous Mr. Angle, at the very least, always says that he really cares about what happens to the residents whether he believes it or not. But he has never threatened them in the newspaper about the possibility of losing their home. In fact, he has made fun of those critics
who have even suggested that the residents would be moved all over the state or that a casino will bve built in its place.
In this matter, Mr. Angle has shown more compassion.
Hold the phone
ReplyDeleteANGLE SHOWED COMPASSION FOR HIMSELF
HE IS RUNNING FOR OFFICE
DO NOT FORGET THAT
YOU SEE HIS MANIPULATION OF HIS STANCE IS EVEN WORKING ON YOU
"SURE I VOTED FOR IT BEFORE I VOTED AGAINST IT"
PLEASE EDIT YOUR STATEMENT TO REFLECT THE SNAKE IN THE GRASS AND HIS REASONING
I EXPECT THEN SVENGALI APPROACH TO WORK ON THE UNDER EDUCATED, PLEASE DON'T DISAPPOINT ME
Mr Stoffa it's one thing to break a promise, it's another to break somenoe's spirit and frighten them. With your backgroun working with the elderky how could you have uttered those heartsless words that you were going to close Gracedale. The very thing that you denied you would do all along. I guess when you break one promise the next is easier to do.
ReplyDeleteWords can't describe the disappointment I am feeling right now! Peggy
Angle has refined the art of manipulation. There is no doubt about that. And does he lie and twist the truth? YES!
ReplyDeleteMy comment was meant to say that it was truly hard for me that Stoffa could be bought at any cost-our beloved residents at Gracedale.
I thought that he would be more compassionate because his personality is not as cruel.
I am with you.
SHAME ON YOU JOHN STOFFA, HOPE YOU CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT
ReplyDeleteMr.Stoffa I can not believe those words came out of your mouth. To CLOSE OR DOWN SIZE Gracedale.What were you thinking ? Do you know the fear you spread on the residents of Gracedale? There are many residents that read the newspaper in fact there are 38 residents that subscribe to the Morning Call, and 22 to the Express -Times. These residents also share their newspaper with other residents.
ReplyDeleteResidents that read your words to" CLOSE OR DOWN SIZE GRACEDALE " residents that are able to comprehend your words. Can you imagine what went through there minds ? You terrorized the sick, the elderly, the poor, the most vulnerable. Does that make feel like a real man ? These people have so little and ask for nothing and that is what you say to them ? I can remember when you Mr. Stoffa were up for election, you sent all the retiree's of Gracedale a letter asking for their vote saying you would help Gracedale. Well you got my vote and I am sure many others but is this a way to help Gracedale ?

well said Maryann
ReplyDeletejohn stoffa is nothing more than a coward and a liar plain and simple . he runs the county like a dictator .... this is america the place where democracy lives .... john stoffa should be removed from office .
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame, Stoffa has been lying all along.
ReplyDeleteTo use scare tactics on the sick and elderly is beyond belief. This is the man who says he cannot sleep at night because these types of decisions are too difficult to make.
Perhaps he really should step down.Is he helping the county's elderly,the tax situation,or is he helping his ego with Angle?
I hope that he doesn't believe that Angle would be true to any "GENTLEMAN'S Agreement". Because this little CLOSE AND/OR DOWMSIZED threw Stoffa under the bus.
Certainly, Stoffa can no longer speak his sweet nothings about our elderly. He really is willing to close down if he cannot have his way and SHIP our elderly and loved ones anywhere there is an available bed.
Promises and lies= John Stoffa.
I'll bet he cannot even see that his buddy really did throw him under the bus.
Guess who will eventually go down in NORCO history as the man who sent our elderly down the river???
For years my father said not to trust Mr. Stoff, he would say "he is a snake". Now I believe my father!
ReplyDeletemr stoffa is not a lier he tells you the truth but you dont listen .instead you all scream and carry one at the council meetings and for marryanne she likes to pull and poke at people i was there with my friend i was in the back by door and you dint think for one minute you thougt noone seen you well wrong that was dam out rude stoffa and bernie will win you will see .what you all did was wrong all those people you made sign the petion you told them they had no choice you never told them there taxes wouldnt go up sham on you. yes i beleive if you win stoffa will lay off and downsize he got no choice so just be ready/ you are the people that scare residents not him and hes not sick hes old just like you will be one day .shame on all of you
ReplyDelete"mr stoffa is not a lier" bernie, who are you kidding. we all know its you. reality is no matter how hard the devils tri-angle tries you will all be losers in the end, just like in the begining always losers. what are you going to do when with your self when engle n stoffa are gone. soon they will be gone gone gone what r u 2 do do
ReplyDeleteNOBODY WILL BE ''HERE'' FOREVER' WHO ARE YOU TO SAY WHO THE DEVIL IS..... MR FAKE PREACHER
ReplyDeleteAnom:11:29am.
ReplyDeleteFirst off Mr. Stoffa does not always tell the truth, he told me and another member in the hall of the court house that if he lost he would not go futher. Well he is appealing the case >???
Is taping a friend on the shoulder and asking him a question rude ??? The man is a nurse on my mothers floor and the lady use to take good care of my mother until she changed depts.
And yes you are right we never told them that their taxes wouldn't go up( read what you wrote).
And we didn't twist anyones arm to sign the petition. Please explain what you ment by not giving the people a choice ??
By signing the petition they would have a choice to vote for or against Gracedale but the county is not giving the PEOPLE THAT CHOICE.
I wonder way ?? Please next time you think Iam doing something wrong at the meeting come see me I would be glad to sit and talk with you. Have a great night.

March 15 is the date set for the appeal by Bernie and Angle in Harisburg for the appeal hope to see all of you there on that date.
ReplyDeleteoh ya we will be there.dont want to miss the showdown bernie going to win...................
ReplyDeleteFirst Berrnie cannot pay for the appeal, who is paying the bill? Second Did the lawfirm from Harrisburg help with the paper work, like the help they got in Easton. Another hearing in Easton March 4, You get to watch the horse and pony show live complements of Ohare and Angle, hope to see you there.
ReplyDeleteHistory might tell us that Mr. Stoffa was the County Executive who,so lacking in administrative skills and mangerial style,sold,downsized, or closed Gracedale beacuse he was unable to organize a way in which to keep in touch with the very people who elected him to office.
ReplyDeleteIn the vernacualr, he screwed all the people whether they wanted Gracedale privatized or not.
Why? No community oral presentations nor the consideration of a vote!
