As a Lawyer - what can he point to that was outstanding? This should be available now, before he quits his position as Commissioner.<br /> Most of us at our Tuesday get-together feel two Commissioners would be enough. They would either agree to a project or it would be turned down and many dollars would be saved. Just think of all the perks our Commissioners receive - including $$, a staff,those wheels, and the tele that can make your life so much easier. The 8th Floor needs be occupied by another department, except for the meetings open to the public. We noticed the cut in personnel/wages - - how much is going to be cut from the Commissioners Salaries? The housing in Eagleville for weekenders - costly! We do have buildings like Sacred Heart that could be used. Even if it were sold, it would not be as costly as building an additional prison for drunks etc.<br /> So, let's keep our Court House running with people that are well rounded in their thinking, because they have always campaigned for people that would make our County better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189189510360665362.post-3804888630204694612009-10-21T15:18:24.914-07:002009-10-21T15:18:24.914-07:00Got that right!Got that right!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189189510360665362.post-37749520907069167192009-10-21T10:31:06.033-07:002009-10-21T10:31:06.033-07:00We now know that two of the three County Commissio...We now know that two of the three County Commissioners, Frick and Frack are full of hot air.

She is going round and round with a local business that deals with the township. This problem is who & how much was contributed to a certain campaign that was printed<br />in her literature - I'll let the court decide. As I said, she is my candidate that we here in this family believe in her ability to move our township forward.<br />Now, as for the company, they have always done a great job for the township, but they are not running for the position of Supervisor, they have a contract that is all and that is under the business of the township. <br />So, support your candidate and don't let the apples and oranges situation cause a great candidate be overlooked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189189510360665362.post-62961437388277646872009-09-19T21:45:26.775-07:002009-09-19T21:45:26.775-07:00What on earth is the July 9 blogger talking about?...What on earth is the July 9 blogger talking about?

The traffic around 8:30-9:30 most days are backed up. Taking note as to the destination of the cars - they turn on to Audubon Road. So, if at all possible the Shannondell Drive is a great idea when it comes to a thru street. Traffic would go directly to Trooper Road and not clog the village interesection.

My family especially enjoyed your statement about the 28 million dollars you managed to secure for all the Route 422 improvements that benefitted only West Norriton and Upper Merion Townships. Our voters really thanked for that one at election time. In as far as a lawsuit is concerned, isn't that suit called a S.L.A.P.P. suit in layman's terms and means just "frivolous".
