That equation means higher quality of life in westmoreland county than other similiar areas of the country. Tom's may have done nothing to influence that, I probably agree. But things are not so bad around here, go to some other area with our same demographics and take a look, there is not nearly the infrastructure improvements you see here.

If that commissioner then wins and the committee that chose her now gets influence in ANY way in her replacement, we would open the flood gates for manipulation. A strong candidate would run, then decide to pick another position and the committee would put anyone they wanted in office. That would not be cool. The justices are completely immune to this whole process and will pick someone that they believe will move the county forward, period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445167597220189246.post-60630401923170253902008-11-09T15:51:00.000-08:002008-11-09T15:51:00.000-08:00Debbie Irwin?

I have no doubt that Tom Ceraso and Tom Balya have our county headed in the wrong direction. When an elected official has spent more than 13 years in an elected office and has very little accomplishments to show for it, it is evident that it is time for a new direction. Whoever fills this seat needs to stand up to the two commissioners when they are wrong. However, they must also move beyond party lines and work with Ceraso and Bayla when it is in best interest for the people of Westmoreland County. This person must fight any tax increases and excessive spending by the current commissioners, make this county more pro business, invite more small business growth through lower taxes and tax incentives, and present more transparent government to the people of the county that both commissioners currently lack. It is time to move beyond partisan politics and move Westmoreland County in the right direction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445167597220189246.post-78934053808452926302008-11-08T15:59:00.000-08:002008-11-08T15:59:00.000-08:00This is funny, as if anyone cares what the republi...This is funny, as if anyone cares what the republicans think.
