IS IT ME, OR DOES THIS NOT PASS THE SMELL TEST?
This photo was taken this afternoon at Plains Solomon School. Is this improper solicitation (albeit passive) on District property by a candidate formerly employed by the district trying to be a School Board member? This just looks sooooooooooooooo wrong.
I don't know about you but I like this sign a lot better!
CARTWRIGHT TO HOLD TOWN MEETINGS
Cartwright Announces Three Affordable Care Act Informational Town Hall Meetings
Today, Congressman Matt Cartwright announced that he will be hosting three Affordable Care Act informational town hall meetings across the 17th Congressional district.
The town halls will be held in Pottsville, Wilkes-Barre Township and Wilson Borough.
“I look forward to hearing from and helping to inform the people I am privileged to represent and to answer their questions on this important topic,” said Rep. Cartwright. “I believe in being open, accessible and accountable to our constituents.”

“I believe in being open, accessible and accountable to our constituents.”.....as long as they don't work during the day.
Hey Yonk, looks to me like our Congressman wold get no PR at all if it wasn't for you. Who runs his office and why whoever it is does not put any effort into getting him PR is beyond my imagination.
Hey isn't that candidates truck parked in a handicapped sot? Maybe there is a joke in there.... handcapped and running...... ouch
Oh Jesus Christ. Who cares. It's a freaking school board race. It's not like it's a race for Congress people, come on.

Hey Yonk, looks to me like our Congressman wold get no PR at all if it wasn't for you. Who runs his office and why whoever it is does not put any effort into getting him PR is beyond my imagination.
FIRST, THE CONGRESSMAN'S OFFICE IS RUN BY SOME VERY GOOD PEOPLE. A FRIEND OPF MINE, A VETERAN HAS BENEFITED FROM THEIR HANDS ON HELP.
SECOND, WHERE DO YOU THINK I GET THE INFORMATION FROM? THE CARTWRIGHT PRESS OFFICE IS RUNNING NON STOP SENDING THE INFORMATION OUT. I CHOOSE TO PUBLISH IT JUST LIKE I DO SOME OF CONGRESSMAN BARLETTA'S. I'D DO SOMETHING WITH CONGRESSMAN MARINO BUT THEY HAVE SENT ME NOTHING.SO WHAT I WRITE COMES FROM THE CONGRESSMAN'S STAFF.
THIRD, TIMES HAVE CHANGED. DAN FLOOD AND TO A CERTAIN EXTENT PAUL KANJORSKI WERE IN THE PRESS BECAUSE NEWS DIRECTORS THOUGHT IT WAS NEWS. BUT NO MORE. IRONICALLY, WE HAVE MORE TV NEWS THAN EVER BEFORE BUT LESS IN DEPTH COVERAGE.
THE NEWSPAPERS ARE SHRINKING IN SIZE AND IN CONTENT. THE CONGRESSMAN'S STAFF IS SENDING NEWS OUT BUT AS THE OLD SAYING GOES, YOU CAN'T LEAD A HORSE TO WATER.
THE LACK OF COVERAGE OF A CONGRESSMAN IS NOT A STAFF PROBLEM ON THEIR END, BUT A MEDIA PROBLEM.
BUT YOU CAN BE SURE THE PRESS HOUSE WILL BE FULL BECAUSE CARTWRIGHT ACTUALLY HAS THE GUTS TO DO A TOWN MEETING ON HEALTH CARE.
ONE MORE THING, REMEMBER THE OLD "DAN FLOOD REPORTS FROM WASHINGTON" AND THE HUGH SCOTT REPORTS? THEY WERE ONLY 5 MINUTES AND EVERY TV STATION RAN THEM. NOT TODAY WHEN YOU CAN GET BIG BUCKS FOR INFOMERCIALS.
IN RESPONSE
Oh Jesus Christ. Who cares. It's a freaking school board race.
RIGHT. BUT IF YOU WANT DOUBLE DIPPING FORMER SCHOOL EMPLOYEES MAKING POLICY, GIVING OUT JOBS TO RELATIVES OF POLITICIANS, NOT HIRING QUALIFIED MINORITY CANDIDATES, THEN YEAH, IT'S ONLY A SCHOOL BOARD RACE. HOW 'BOUT HELPING ME PAY MY PROPERTY TAXES FOR THIS SORRY ASS SCHOOL DISTRICT? OR CHIPPING IN FOR A FRUIT BASKET TO THE GUYS HAULED OFF TO JAIL.
Grinaway has my vote and those of my family! Go KG!!!
