O'BRIEN WRITES CORDARO


In a continuing campaign straight out of the box, Democrat Corey O'Brien's effort has raised some interesting questions for the incumbent Cordaro/Munchak team. Here's a copy of that letter in its entirety:


TO: Damon Bowen Campaign Manager Munchak-Cordaro Campaign
Dear Mr. Bowen,
Late in 2006, the county commissioners approved a taxpayer funded television campaign to air on WNEP-TV 16 under the Lackawanna Wonderful theme. The commercials feature Bob Cordaro touting the Republicans' perceived accomplishments over the last four years. These commercials are blatant political advertisements, aired during an election year. In January, the Munchak-Cordaro Committee reported that it had raised over $600,000 for the re-election of Bob Cordaro and AJ Munchak. If Bob and AJ want to tout their perceived accomplishments, they should do so using campaign funds, not tax dollars. We respectfully request that the Republican administration:
1. Release the details of production and airtime costs that the taxpayers are paying for this political propaganda;
2. Pull the advertisements from television immediately; and
3. Reimburse the taxpayers through their campaign fund for this advertising campaign which began late last year. This administration has engaged in enough wasteful spending on the backs of the taxpayers without the people bearing the burden of financing their campaign advertising budget. We knew the 48% tax hike would hurt the people, but we did not know it would also fund their campaign. While we prepare for a spirited debate on the issues during the Democratic primary, we would be remiss to allow the fleecing of taxpayers at this time.
Sincerely, Andrew Eldredge-Martin
Campaign Manager Friends of Corey O'Brien
P.S. This letter has been sent to local press contacts and posted on our campaign website.


THE BAD BEHAVIOR CONTINUES
Bad behavior still prevailed at the Scranton City Council meeting this past Thursday. It's getting to the point that if TV dial 61 is going to become a hot spot for politicos. When some of the stuff starts showing up on YOU -TUBE and other type web cams, all the hard work at promotion and image building by the Doherty administration and the Chamber nationwide will just go down the drain. Sure the "regulars" and "usual suspects" can be trying, but elected officials should not feed into the madness.

Next Weeks Scranton City Council Meeting should be interesting as Janet Evans will autograph her Playboy Pictorials. Featured in the "old bags in government" special, the permanently air brushed and, leggy Mrs Evans is shown wearing only a "legion of doom" T-Shirt and her trademark Mary Tyler Moore 1970 hairdo! Others showcased in the feature include Harriet Miers, Gen Peter Pace resplendent in a gown by Versace, Laura Bush wearing outfits first worn by Katharine Ross in the original Stepford Wives, and Janet Reno in a lovely Hart, Schafner and Marx 3 piece. Mrs Evans upcoming tour schedule lists the OReilly Show and Springer. Evans stated that she hates MsFanucci because shes younger and much more attractive as is Mr McGoff! Mr
Courtright seconds Evans remarks re Fanucci and McGoff."

Sadly Fanucci was correct in last weeks coments. I watch these meetings and it becomes impossible not to treat the Legion of Doom with the disdain they deserve .There still goin on about the Christmas Lights at Nay Aug!

Hey, speaking of Bob Cordaro...

I'm not sure about this baseball team stuff and really need an answer.

Here's how it appears to me: Bob Cordaro is trying to do end runs and power plays to become the king maker and wrest control for either himself or Lack County, away from Luz County.

Can someone tell me if I'm right or wrong? If wrong, explain it in fairly simple words what's going on.

Confused minds want to know.

Peter Pace is a sissy! Pass it on...Wonder how many gay Congressional Medal of Honor Winners there have been? Ann Coulter is probably a lesbian...and the beat goes on...Bill OReilly is the Morton Downey Jr of his time. Watch for him to be beaten and have his head shaved in the bathroom at an airport soon!!!

Thats Fred Dalton Thompson! A bit of a character on the Nashville scene as a hot shot kick ass attorney a few years back. His girlfriend for awhile was the Super Hot Lorrie Morgan! I admired him on that one. Always kinda liked him as a ballsy character and a good actor. He is better than Paul Harvey Sr or Jr right now. Disagree with his politics, but respect him! You pictured Dann Florek, I think also a good actor and sometime director in the Law and Order Franchise. Good picture of Bobby. That is Bob Cordaro.
