GRINAWAY EVENT

Wilkes Barre Area School Board candidate Kathy Grinaway had an event this afternoon. The day was beautiful and sunny outside but inside the Polish AmVets Club politics was heating up as the realization hit many people that we are about a month out from Election Day. Grinaway is running for the Wilkes Barre Area School Board on a platform of no nepotism, quality education and a good look at what the taxpayer money is actually buying students and parents in the District. Grinaway was joined by her family as well as a legion of supporters who really want to see some substantial change in the make up of the School Board. After a few indictments, resignations and the standard political garbage that is going on, Wilkes Barre Area voters just want representation without any drama on the board……Some of those attending Grinaway’s event was Ruth Hughes, wife of Judicial candidate Dick Hughes. Mrs. Hughes stopped by this event on the way to a Plains Pavilion event for her candidate husband…….Independent Rick Williams, a candidate for County Council also attended the event. Williams is a thoughtful candidate who recently came off a very successful fundraiser. Williams has been making the rounds and doing a lot of listening to people’s concerns about the new government that will begin three days after Election candidates are certified…..And by the way the cakes at the Grinaway event were something to die for according to my sister who also stopped by in support of Grinaway’s effort.

Cummings’ mantra is “Together We will Restore the Republic”. She is running on the following:
