Sadly the most important elections that we have are the one's the least people vote in. Most of the governing that goes on that affects your everyday life is done by the the town, county or school district that you live in.
Everybody is up in arms over the response to the Valentines Day snow storm from all levels of government but there will be very few changes. You can't fire the Governor even if he might deserve it. The Mayor of Wilkes-Barre is up for reelection but no serious candidate is taking him on. A few weeks ago the Yonk did a rundown of politicains getting sunk by some weather event. My little Burgh of Plains Twp did an outstanding job but I don't give any of the politicians credit or blame them for the streets that got missed the first time plowing. Our DPW guys cleared the snow as best as they could. It's not everyday that 2 feet of snow is dropped on your head.

The City of Wilkes Barre is very mismanaged by this Administration...Seems the City has the equipment to plow snow but most of the people thata work at the DPW dont have a CDL to drive a City Truck...they also are very reactive in nature and the City Council refuses to hold a hearing to find answers to the issue of what happened on Valentines Day 2007...I as City Council member will not allow the City to pile Snow on the Bridges of South Wilkes Barre where we may need to Sand Bag the Creek....how inconsiderate is this Administration towards the people of South Wilkes Barre that have had several problems with flooding in recent months...I as City Council Member will also be sure to use the power of City Council to bring in Department Heads and ask the hard questions so that City Council can help with the solution...I will not just "Rubber Stamp" whatever the Mayor wants without any questions. People of the City of Wilkes Barre need respect and responsible government for a change...Vote responsibly on May15 2007 Vote for Walter Griffith Jr for City Council District A...
