The old ways don't work the same. Guys who got lazy and complacent lose. Luzerne county is in a state of flux and what happens now will shape things for years.Barry O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003569801219363145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12341882.post-50868858594706996912011-11-16T23:23:05.035-05:002011-11-16T23:23:05.035-05:00Stefanie Salavantis won against a do-nothing oppon...Stefanie Salavantis won against a do-nothing opponent... hardly a fair comparison.

Both the Supervisor race in Dallas Twp. and the Council race in Harvey's lake were decided based on one issue - the safety of drinking water. You want proof, just look at the District Attorney race. Salavantis won each and every back mountain precinct:<br /><br />Dallas Twp: Salavantis won 1008-729<br /><br />Dallas Boro: Salavantis won 399-294<br /><br />Harveys Lake: Salavantis won 445-317<br /><br />Lake Twp: Salavantis won 223-121<br /><br />Lehman: Salavantis won 356-299<br /><br />Jackson Twp: Salavantis won 983-725<br /><br />For a total win of 3860-2796 or 58% of the vote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
