Is it lunacy or just stupidity?

The crowd actually cheered Greg Skrepenak yesterday. I know I shouldn't be surprised. After all, these are the same people that keep voting for Kanjorski. Old kanjo gives his family 9,000,000(don't worry I didn't forget about the $3,000,000 that just went to the nephew in Colorado) of our tax dollars. What do the people do? Vote for him again of course. Is the average voter of Luzerne County whacked out enough to forget about all of Scrap's scandalicious behavior? Debit cards, food vendors, no-bid contracts, etc, etc ad nauseum. It appears so. Shame on all of you that cheered for Scrap's bullshit plan. You folks either need to lay off the drugs or learn to consider the big picture.

Luzerne County Elected Officials Bad at Math

Please click the link, read the article, then read this. Our cornhole commissioners actually got us into this deal. They want us all to believe that they actually thought that paying $58,000,000 over a 20 year lease made more sense than owning the facility for $8,000,000. For those that may not be as good at math as I happen to be and also for those who are as tragically bad at math like Scrapheap and former comm. Vonderhideyourwallett; The lease is essentially $2.9 million per year for twenty years. Now, had these flunkies actually ever been to a math class they could've figured out that buying for $8. million would've cost $1.92 million for 5 years had they took a 5 year loan. Yes I included generous interest in that payment. How in the holy vermilion hells can anybody think that lease was a good idea??? Nobody is this fookin stupid!!!So what explains it?? I would like a forensic accountant to look into Scrap and Todd's personal finances. Can anyone say offshore accounts? Does the name Cayman Islands ring a bell? Does this answer the question of how a $42,000 per year earning commissioner could afford to join Huntsville Golf Club? The above pic illustrates the math skills of the fecal impactions that got us into this mess for their own profit.

Another Black eye for Luzerne County Government

As has been covered on Gort's blog http://gort42.blogspot.com, Scrapheap's best friend Sam "I am the Problem" Guesto has really screwed the pooch this time. He even has Petrilla after his head. Poor old Scrap has no comment. Well, no shit Sherlock. He is your boy and doesn't so much as blow his nose without your permission. The fact that the warden has come out and said he was present when Guesto ordered the no bid bullshit has to be taken very seriously. He has put his job on the line for telling the truth. No matter what Petrilla says, Guesto should be suspended without pay immediately. Scrap should take a leave of absence until the investigation is complete. If laws were broken, and it sure as fark looks that way, certain local political hacks need 3 hots and a cot courtesy of the state for a few years. That includes you, scrap!!! The one amazing question I have is, who is this outside agency that is conducting the investigation????

Luzerne County, Home of the Despot

Can anyone actually believe the friggin unmitigated gall of the powers that be in the courthouse? It isn't just the commissioners but the judges too. What must Guesto have on all of them that they are willing to committ political suicide by giving him another job? Judge Ciavarella, say goodbye to being a judge. You will not be able to "skooch" your way out when it comes time for retention.

I rarely agree with anything Corbett has to say but I sincerely hope he keeps his word and continues to hammer these politicians. They say people in this county have a coal cracker mentality. I say it is time to prove them wrong. I say we vote out all incumbent county seats. I say the new administration goes through every employee's file. If they got their job through connections, so sad, too bad, you're fired!!! It is time to stop the corruption. It is time to stop the cronyism. It is time to elect leaders that not only listen to the people but actually follow the will of the people. If the new crop follows this current crop, boom, out they go. I say we repeat the process until we get good leadership in all county offices. By good, I mean moral, ethical, and honest. I think a provision of law needs to put in place that we can impeach any county officeholder and have them removed!! I think the law should state that they be replaced by the people voting not appointed by a shitheel governor.

Business as usual in Luzerne County

Nice vote Greg. It shows just how in touch you are with your constituents. Hyder abuses the living crap out of the system and still keeps his job. What's next? A raise? Don't worry Mr. Skrep, I'm sure all of the voters will forget about it before you have to run again. Then again, you are probably looking forward to leaving office so you can work at your bar full time.

Was Petrilla's vote motive real or was it just a contrived position? Your guess is as good as mine. As for the other members of the prison board, what a bunch of farktards. Urban's vote was a given but those other two richly deserve a kick in the nuts.
