Mr. Mayor, is That a Vote in Your Pocket or Are You Just Glad to See Me?
The Times-Leader follows up on allegations of over-zealous politicos getting all aggro in polling places during the May primary election. (Click here to read)
A temporary clerk hired by the county to work at Wilkes-Barre’s Kistler Elementary School polling location on May 17 submitted a written complaint to the county accusing Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton and Kingston Mayor Jim Haggerty of standing inside the building to interact with voters, shake hands and pass out literature.
According to Times-Leader commenter "Joey", the politicking near the polls has become so out-of-control that "...their little flunkees...just about rape people."
Yikes!
Doing the Big-Check Dance in Downtown Wilkes-BarreDim lights Embed Embed this video on your site Big, comically oversized checks might look funny, but when politicians hand out big checks, the joke is usually at taxpayers' expense In April 2010, Congressman Paul Kanjorski did the big-check dance in downtown Wilkes-Barre.Coming along for the ride were Pennsylvania state senate hopefuls, John Yudichak and Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton.On the receiving end of the big check was a start-up company, Federal Review Services. Federal Review was promising to create 100 new jobs in downtown Wilkes-Barre with salaries from $35,000 to $65,000. Federal Review announced layoffs only two months after being handed that big check. The moral of the story? Big checks from politicians don't create jobs. Jobs are created by businesses that fill a need in the marketplace. If you have a great idea that will make money, you don't need the government...you need a bank. People who rely on government sources for start-up funding usually have better connections than ideas.

Ten years and seven million dollars later, CityVest is out of cash and the hotel is headed for the wrecking ball. Did CityVest have any intention of restoring the Sterling or did they purposely implement a program of "demolition by neglect"?
Mysterious Fracking Fluid
The New York Times left-wing, pinko/commie agenda has expanded to include a disinformation campaign looking to discredit the patriotic gas drilling industry. According to this article some of the mysterious chemicals showing up in fracking fluid include benzene, instant coffee and walnut shells. Add some banana peels and rotting fish heads and you've got the the same hearty stew fermenting in the dumpster next to the Valley Scanner office complex.
