In my many years of politics I have been able to sort out the people who want to be someone verses the people who want to do something.
Wendy Cominsky is someone who want's to do something. She has all sorts of ideas to improve Luzerne County. I may not agree with all of them all but let's put them out for discussion.
Her platform is on the website:
A snippet:
Alternative Energy
We also should be considering alternative energy as well as
protecting what is left of our natural resources. Apparently some people
did not learn their lesson from the coal companies. Tunkhannock is
seeing a dramatic drop in local business since the gas drilling craze is
fading. When we run out of gas, like the coal mines, those companies
will be gone and many people will be without jobs and many businesses
without customers. This can cause economic collapse and we need to
prevent it. Everybody was sold on gas because it would bring jobs to the
area and lower energy costs. Here’s the exciting news: so will the
development of renewable energy sources! By shifting our focus to
renewable energy, we will lower costs and still have fossil fuel energy
to rely on in times of crisis. Environmentally speaking, I believe that
clean water will become more valuable than gold in the not so distant
future. We absolutely need to protect our natural springs as if they
were our children, because frankly, our children will pay the price if
we don’t.
blah blah blah... county commissioner talking about national energy policy... loud mouth, uninformed yutz.
ReplyDeleteI'll be voting for Wendy, mostly for one simple reason: She's not like the others. We need elected officials who aren't simply part of the "old white guy" crowd, you know, the same crowd that has been running NEPA for a century and a half.

Republicat or Demopublican...at a local level it's all the same stuff anyway.
