Yet, Kanjo voted in favor of a bill limiting Veteran Affairs doctors: (http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/resourcesforveterans/a/vaendslaser.htm) Kanjo is marching in lock step with Obama, i.e. more Federal involvement = limited access to health care (Why? So he can bring home the pork to his nephew rather than doing the right thing). He may vote to limit the scope of practice for podiatrist, nurse practioners, occupational therapist, physical therapist, social workers and others just to grow the Federal government.<br /><br />Good Luck Mr. O'Brien<br />(Be a Democrat for the people rather than for big government.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-45444024891357472802009-04-22T04:20:00.000-04:002009-04-22T04:20:00.000-04:00Tickled:

Neither one likes him but neither one makes a difference. Washo prefers Corey to other alternatives-he is a lot better than Evie would have been-but Washo does not want Corey to run. Washo is afraid Harry McGrath, also known as "I will do anything the school directors tell me to do because they control my ENTIRE income", might push some nitwit in 2011 (like Evie or Tom Gilbride-who is even worse than Evie) if Corey wins and has to resign as commissioner. Here is my prediction: Corey runs but so do a bunch of other names and Kanjo lives on. IF CHRIS DOHERTY GETS IN THE RACE, COREY HAS NO SHOT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-75155865147347214962009-04-20T21:49:00.000-04:002009-04-20T21:49:00.000-04:00Corey O'Brien has no chance of winning.

He is referred to as Bobby, Jr. on the sixth floor...a reference to his arrogant predecessor - Bob Cordaro. I hear Evie McNulty, Corcoran, even Washo can't stand this guy. He loses in the primary and is passed over as Washo's running mate. Game, set, match, and he goes back to practicing law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-61005264513917054142009-04-20T18:11:00.000-04:002009-04-20T18:11:00.000-04:00Gort

Chris Doherty shouldn't be Mayor of Scranton let alone a Congressman. He likes picking low hanging fruit. If he was any type of leader Scranton would be out of Act 47 now. Staying in 47 is a safe bet chosen by the weak,epecially when you consider they entered it in 2002. Read this <A HREF="http://www.thetimes-tribune.com/articles/2007/03/25/editorial/18124747.txt" REL="nofollow">Times Tribune article</A> on it.<br /><br />As I reported before, I was told that Doherty was supressing the reality of gangs in Scranton.

Most of the better retail activity has occured in Dickson City, not Scranton City proper although a small part of the Viemont Mall is techincally located in Scranton. <br /><br />When choosing a college look at the environment for the University of Scranton and that at St. Joseph's University, both Jesuit schools. The choice is pretty obvious for a prospective college student at the same expense.<br /><br />With the marketing of Kanjo these days do you think he is worried?
