The LuLac Edition #1080, Jan. 26th, 2010
PHOTO INDEX: GOP COMMISSIONER STEVE URBAN, FORMER U.S. ATTORNEY TOM MARINO AND NEWLY MINTED JUDGE JOE COSGROVE.
URBAN LOOKING
Luzerne County Commissioner Steve Urban is going to make a run for Lieutenant Governor in the 2010 primary. Urban does not have a lot of dough in his coffers but that never stopped him before. Urban has run shoestring campaigns before and prevailed. Granted the state of Pennsylvania is no Luzerne County but here's a few advantages Urban has.
1. A good resume.
2. The perception that he might be the only clean untainted official in these parts.
3. An endless source of energy.
4. A crowded lackluster field in the race. The only person with strong name recognition is Philadelphia City Councilman Fran Rizzo, Frank's son.
5. Urban might be underestimated but not outworked.
It's a long shot but hey.............ya never know.
MARINO ON THE RUN
Tom Marino, former United States District Attorney in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, will make a major announcement about his political future in the 10th Congressional District at the following events on Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Here's his LuLac itinerary:
1:00PM Pierce Street Deli
517 Pierce Street
Kingston, PA
3:30PM Pallman’s Farm
1511 Summit Lake Road
S. Abington Township, PA
6:00PM Ehrhardt’s Waterfront Resort
205 Route 507
Hawley, PA
The announcement comes on the heels of increased voter anger toward policies in Washington that have led to record levels of unemployment, spending that is best described as reckless, and a government run health care plan that raises taxes and reduces care and services to seniors.
COSGROVE IN
Attorney Joe Cosgrove is Luzerne County's newest Judge. The Senate confirmed him 50-0. Cosgrove's appointment comes on the heels of the 1 year anniversary of the charging of Judges Conahan and Ciaverella. Cosgrove takes over the latter's post.

Voters in Lackawanna County voted against Cordaro/Munchak as much as for for OBrien Washo. Tinkerbelle and Goofy could have defeated the standing majority! I guess we are to assume that all the problems in the Lac are solved now and OBrien is ready to move on. It appears few remember his classless treatment of Evie McNulty (or do they) and his total lack of resume or accomplishment in politics.
I watched Nancy and Kevin on TV this morning for as much as I could stand. Nothing against either one, but it just doesnt work
at all. Waste of TV. Perhaps if they could get away from the ineffective split screen format...
Both are pros and could probably pull it off but not in its current format. TV adds nothing.
Corey's comin on strong. I'll say one thing for the guy, he is a campaigner.
