Dan Spangler Is Right...

Who's going to stop me?

...During last Thursdays County Council meeting Mr. Spangler made the statement: "The SKUNK is gone, but the STINK remains". He was boldly referring to Ron Angle, who truly did hurt our county with his antics.

However, we feel the need to boldly identify the "STINK", who does remain - To us, the stink without a doubt is: John Stoffa, who also has hurt our county with his foolish misuse of tax resources.

He sued the taxpayers with the taxpayers own money to satisfy his "I can do whatever I feel like doing, no one can stop me" ego.



Who thought I would get caught?
Not me!

We of course feel that he should be in a cell alongside of Justice Joan Orie Melvin who also misused tax resources in the same fashion that Stoffa has. She however, is currently convicted and paying for her misdeeds.

But not Stoffa! He seems to believe he can do whatever he wants to do in Northampton county with no fear that he will have to pay a price for his wrongful behavior. We have to ask: why is he afforded the opportunity to believe that?

We The People patiently continue to wait for justice!

Will JUSTICE ever come? Or will those responsible for dispensing and enforcing the laws of our great county fail us too?

Will they prove by their inaction that John Stoffa can in-fact do whatever he pleases without fear of consequence?

Only time will tell!!!

Take That To The Bank?

It appears that Mr. Jim Deegan is trying out for a comedy act.

He say's: "If you're considering a home improvement loan or need a cash infusion for an island getaway or to satisfy a bookie, avoid the traditional route. Spare yourself any bank red tape or splintered kneecaps. Go to Northampton County Council."

Wow! Who's bookie? Would it be a bookie he knows? And, doesn't he know that bookies are illegal? If so, why is he referring us to County Council to satisfy an illegal transaction? And, what's with the splintered kneecaps?

What we find rather amusing is that Mr. Deegan discovered fault in the current County Council for doing something that they are fully authorized to do, but never found fault with what County Executive John Stoffa did, which he was not authorized to do.

Stoffa plans his misuse of tax resources against the taxpayers.

You all remember Stoffa-Gift don't you? That's when john Stoffa misused tax dollars to serve his own partisan purposes. Well, we have to ask: Why didn't Mr. Deegan and the Express Times do a piece on that un-authorized use of our tax dollars.

He goes on to say: "Council cavalierly brushed aside the prospect of saving county residents nearly $87,000 a year by refusing to award a new contract for non-emergency ambulance transportation at Gracedale, the county nursing home. When County Executive John Stoffa did an end-run and approved the money-saving deal unilaterally, council sued him. Now two sets of county lawyers are racking up billable hours on your dime."

Jim Deegan TRUTH distortion Award.

What Mr. Deegan conveniently failed to mention is: Council for various reasons, decided not once, but twice...not to grant the Gracedale contract to John Stoffa's preference. As we understand it, Stoffa's choice could cost the taxpayers more in the long-run than any promised saving in the short-run. So, out of spite, John Stoffa belligerently decided he would do what he felt like doing anyway...Folks - That's why Council agreed as a whole to sue Mr. Stoffa.

How many more days?

Yes, it's true that there are two "County Solicitors" racking up billable hours on our (taxpayers) dime...but don't be bamboozled, it is a direct result of John Stoffa's doing, not Council. Council is merely informing (by way of their litigation) Stoffa that they (Council) as elected officials serve a purpose. And he (Stoffa) cannot simply and unjustly dismiss their decisions.

Mr. Deegan can rest assured that in the end - JUSICE will prevail...
...he can take that to the bank!

The New Bond...

...Which less than desirable County Executive John Stoffa presented during last Thursday's County Council meeting as if it was a bond for Gracedale, turns out to be a bond costing 11.4 million, of which, $7.1 million will be applied to repair 18 "Priority 1" bridges. And that still leaves approximately 36 bridges in disrepair. The bond will also include previous bond refinancing.

Gracedale, which seemingly is to blame for all of Mr. Stoffa's other failures, will receive 4.3 million to repair generators which failed during "Super Storm Sandy" (because John Stoffa decided to neglect them). But, wait a minute, didn't Stoffa say just last Thursday that HE spent almost 28 million dollars at Gracedale? Well, his failing mind must have overlooked the generators - And so much more!

In speaking to a source a Gracedale, we were informed that Gracedale did not receive any priority treatment after the storm because the electric company was informed by Stoffa's administration that all was okay at Gracedale. In fact, the conditions were deplorable. There was no power at Gracedale from October 30th, 2012 until November 2nd, 2012. That was four days ladies and gents of Nor-Co...four days!

Our source also tells us that there were extension cords all over the building...which Stoffa failed to tell us. Residents couldn't be bathed because there was no hot water...which Stoffa failed to tell us. The generators, which should have worked flawlessly, did not because they were neglected...by who? By the person we trusted to serve us - the man who instead sued us...Yes, by County Executive John Stoffa...Who really should resign.



You need to do it!

If Stoffa wants to know who our source is, all he has to do is ask. We'll certainly be more than happy to disclose that information to him in court...Sue us again buddy. There is a list of people who have much to say about their Gracedale experience after Sandy hit. But they would like you to misuse tax-resources against us again. And possibly more importantly, many before Sandy hit as well. We wait patiently for our day with you in court sir! Yes...patiently.

Your "Resignation" will be accepted!!!

Stoffa Has Done Nothing...

...But continue to hate Gracedale.

NO...He does not live here - keep going...far, far away.

What planet does the nonsensical ignoramus live in? Not ours! He says:

"Stoffa himself acted honestly and with integrity. He engaged in no pay to play. But for his entire first term, he was hampered by a Council unwilling to work with him."

REALLY??? How STUPID do you think the taxpayers of Nor-Co are Bernie?

In our opinion, John Stoffa does not have an honest bone in his dishonest body.

And how dare you, a court established evil-doing fraud...talk about integrity?

Well the manure is surly flowing now ladies and gents of Nor-Co, so please pick up your feet.

Bernie you can read our lips, "Integrity" requires "honesty", and everyone knows John Stoffa is a dishonest liar, period. NO...you can't chime in - we said PERIOD!

And you of all people Bernie should be the last to try and lift Stoffa up. Is he paying you to say these wonderful things about him? If so, it better be worth it, because no one is buying it!

Ron Angle - I tried to hurt Gracedale...
...but, she slapped me down, and the flames burn.

Folks...doesn't Bernie sound like a "rocket scientist"?

Listen to what else he says: "The Gracedale question undeniably hurt Angle"...no kidding Sherlock!!!

We The People kick him to the curb, just like we would have done to Stoffa if he would have demonstrated your level of stupid by attempting to run again...not running Bernie demonstrates Stoffa has a half once more intelligence than you do. DHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

The brilliance continues when Bernie says: "But once the people did speak, and voted to retain the nursing facility, Stoffa has done everything he can to turn things around".

What??? REALLY?

You must be drinking kamikazes again, or was it straight-up vodka? Or maybe Your now smoking crack!

John Stoffa has done NOTHING to help Gracedale Bernie...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!


Folks, do you really want to laugh? Get a load of this crock..."He (Stoffa) has invested money in the facility". John Stoffa has not invested a "nickel" as Ron Angle would say...not a nickel!


We The People invested our hard earned tax dollars - freely given (in most cases) to the government to invest in Gracedale. And then we gave our greatest commodity "time", which cemented the reality that John Stoffa, Ron Angel, and the brutish Bernard O'Hare III could not do what they wanted to do...Sell our pride and joy - Gracedale.

We can go on, but, stupid is stupid...

...Do we really have to?

COAF: We Don't Need No Stinking Stoffa!

During last night's County Council meeting - County Executive John Stoffa decided to present a CE report (which he doesn't always present these days). So what did he have to say? His second remark was:

"Since I began my term of office in January of 2006 up until today, not counting the proposed bond that you will vote on today for Gracedale, this administration with County Councils approval has spent $27,970,378.00 on capital expenditures at Gracedale. People say we haven't done anything up there, that's not true. We spent nearly 28 million dollars."

The first problem with that statement is...he did not specify where that money went. You see, he did not outline specifically what items of necessity at Gracedale required 28 million dollars. He also failed to indicate what years he spent how much so that we could verify it. We the People don't arbitrarily say: "they haven't done anything at Gracedale". No...we have witnessed the neglect first-hand. Just like we have seen many other county owned buildings under his administrations watch neglected as well. The second problem is, he made it sound like the bond vote was for Gracedale specifically, but as usual, he was not clear where the additional 4.3 million that he spoke about would be going.

The best part of his report  however, was his opening remark: "In case anyone is interested, I'm down to 140 days, but who's counting?".

"Your wife" said Mr. Cusick.

This comment of course brought some laughter. What we found interesting about the comment was that it appeared to be mocking the taxpayers of the County. From our perspective, he seemed to be implying that he shafted the taxpayers by using tax-resources (Stoffa-Gift) to sue the taxpayers on a partisan issue, and there is nothing we can do about it. What a despicable view. But, we're sure that in the end - JUSTICE will prevail...And patiently we wait!

Nor-Co, between John Stoffa and Ron Angle our County has suffered so much corruption.

Mr. Stoffa, you sir are a disgraceful man.

And while your trying to get up on a high horse to showcase yourself as such a wonderful administrator (so that when your 140 days are up you will be praised for all your misdeeds), we know the TRUTH. The TRUTH sir is: your a deceiver...a liar!

And We Don't Need...

...No Stinking LIAR!

 

Another Defeat...

...For John Stoffa!

The Honorable Judge Leonard Zito issued a preliminary injunction which precludes John Stoffa from entering into a contract with Lifestar Response until the judge makes his final determination in the case against Stoffa.

In his arrogance County Executive John Stoffa  has lost one legal battle after another...after another.

We look for the story in the Express Times, but as usual, it seems they didn't think it was a worthy story.

The Morning Call however, did run a story - see: Council Granted Injunction Against Stoffa

Stoffa really needs to resign! Resign!! Resign!!! No...its not an echo John. Stop pounding your head, it won't help!

Judge Zito stated: "This matter implicates a substantial question concerning the scope of executive authority under the Home Rule Charter that must be promptly resolved to prevent potentially irreparable damage to our county system of government."

We agree! This type of shenanigans cannot be allowed to occur ever again. There has to be checks and balances in place to prevent future attempts to circumvent the authority of County Council.

By the way John...you really should resign.

Why? Because no one has any confidence in you anymore. Your incompetence is visible for miles buddy.

And You have become quite the derision in Nor-Co.

Stoffa Is Trying To do The Right Thing...

REALLY??? Says who?

On May 22nd, 2013 John Stoffa was quoted in the Express Times by the "Opinion Staff" as saying: “I’m not usurping anybody, I’m trying to do the right thing.”

John Stoffa is an outright LIAR, and we have no problem saying that.

We said it to his face before the County, and we will say it again today. 

What do we base that statement on?

He told us in the 911 building during a meeting that if we really wanted to save Gracedale we had to get the names. And when we got the names what did he do? HE SUED US!!! HE OUTRIGHT LIED TO US, period.

Now he wants us to believe that he is once again "trying to do the right thing"...Yeah right - while all along we can crystal clearly see he is doing the wrong thing.

How so? Well, forcing County Council to sue him is NOT THE RIGHT THING!!! It's a waste of tax resources. In fact, because he is forcing it, it's MISUSE of tax resources. And it's JOHN STOFFA doing it - not County Council as portrayed by ET.

When is someone in authority going to do something about this reckless maniac? He does and says things that are beyond anyone's comprehension, yet he does and says, and it is accepted.

The Express Times "Opinion Staff" seems to suggest that one person (Stoffa) is better qualified than SIX, YES, we said SIX members of Council to make a decision that even the taxpayers feel comfortable with. The "Opinion Staff" also suggest that: "Council could still call off the lawsuit, and it should" - Really??? WHY?????

Since your so smart "OPINION STAFF", tell us WHY! And then tell us exactly who you "THE OPINION STAFF" are...because you never tell us that! Oh...that's right - your ANONYMOUS.

Hey ET...Please tell us - what happened to "majority rule"? Are you suggesting that the majority should be at the mercy of the few...or worst yet - the ONE!

In our opinion, the newspapers aren't worth the paper they are written on. Who exactly is the ET to tell County Council what they should do? When in fact, We The People have already spoken.

SIX - YES, count them - SIX Council members representing their constituents made a decision, not once, but TWICE.
The second time...well, it really doesn't matter because ET thinks Stoffa is the only one that counts...they appear to think he's GOD!

Well, we have NEWS for them...

...HE'S NOT!
