121st State Rep happenings




Republican candidate James O'Meara has a shindig tonight at Saint Maria Goretti Church Banquet Hall, 42 Redwood Drive, Laflin, PA.

Incumbent Democrat Eddie Day Pashinski has been out front on the drilling issue lately supporting a moritorium and attending Gas Stock. O"Meara also talks sense on this issue.

Yesterday I received a newsletter from Pashinski telling me what a great guy he is. This was probably paid for with taxpayer funds because the website on it directs you to pahouse.com/pashinski and the email listed is epashinski@pahouse.net. It's chock full of reminders such as reminding me to get a colonoscopy, take a walk at lunch and encouraging seniors to apply for the rent rebate. It also covers his greatest hits, the scrap metal law and dental assistant bill.

This is the kind of thing that drives challengers nuts because they can't compete with direct mail that is not paid for with campaign funds. It should stop.

  1. Gort - bipartisan agreement on these mailers. Just wrong no matter who's doing it. By the way, how did your colonoscopy go?
