15 down and hundreds to go.
The TL and CV are reporting that Wyoming Valley West School Board President and executive director of the Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority Allen Bellas has signed a plea agreement with federal prosecutors and is expected to be charged soon with accepting money for an official action. He also served on the LCCC Board of Trustees from 2003 to 2007 and the feds are also looking at that outfit. If you are keeping score at home that makes it 15 people that have now been charged with corruption in Luzerne County this year.
His wife, Nancy Bellas, is the Democratic nominee for Luzerne County Prothonotary. Not knowing her connections I was surprised that she won the primary against Duryea politico Art Akulonis and the most qualified candidate Gerald Mullery. Now it makes sense or should I say nonsense.
I have been predicting for months that Republican Carolee Medico Olenginski would win the election and fair or not this probably just sealed the deal.
I spent the afternoon browsing Bellas' campaign finance reports that ace Election Bureau honcho Leonard Piazza has posted on the county website and they have many familiar names. She accepted money from Bob Mericle after he was identified as being one of the two bribers of the Juvie Brothers. Other highlights are contributions from Maryanne Petrilla, Bob Reilly, Jim Blaum, Frank Crossin, Murry Uffberg, Bill Joyce, Mike Pasonick, AJ Lupas, Mike Butera and other cast members of the local Democratic establishment.

How do you go about finding all money michael pasonick gave out and to who
In a perfect world, Carolee would not be on the ballot and she certainly would not be allowed to abuse her first husband's name. I wonder if she pays him a royalty?
Sorry to all those Carolee fans but there is no way I want her back under the dome. Once was more than enough.
9:18 PM If you have a burning desire to know what he gave locally, the only thing you can do is to visit the Election Bureau and go through each and every candidate financial report. You either need a lot of time to kill or target certain reports and give them a quick look. In this election, your lucky that there are only a few key offices, some mayors and of course county Row offices. Probably an hour would do it.
As for me, I will not be voting for the Prothonotary. Both these little ladies, Miss Bellas and Miss Medico would better serve society if they spent more time in the kitchen than in the courthouse!!! Women today want it all, what with their Chairman Mao pant suits and on and on! Look how Petrilla destroyed the reputation of Mr. Skrepenack and I need not go further. So all you ladies out there, learn to cook, clean, iron, and if you have to talk about politics, keep it in the home!!!!!
destroyed the reputation of Mr. Skrepenack I think he did that all by himself
Mean Old Man sure is having fun. Bet he made a lunch, opened a beer and is sitting at his screen waiting for all of the indignation to fly. Good show Old Man, I'm also going to enjoy it. Now let's see who takes the bait first?
