Bill Courtright, is not for the people, as some of you may tend to believe-Sure he spoke up against SOME items Fanucci and Gateeli and McGoff tried to push through--He sure knows how to fool the people--but when big issues come where is he--does he protest loudly against Gayelli and crew when it comes to standing by the people-? Not a whimper-- The 35 million garage deal is just another example of his not fighting for us-- Will we ever forget the CRF loans--I won't --BUT many of you have--why? Because he appeared to be for us later on and we forgot-- you have been ALL duped-- Bill has a definite agenda-- and the majority of the people think--"Gee Bill's a great guy we need him " Don't kid yourself-- He only makes excuses when he is put on the spot--and we get no good reason why he did or didn't do something he should have--he just stutters--I know exactly what Bill Courtright is all about and let me WARN you it is not for us, the common person, the ones who are struggling to save our homes and make our paychecks last until the next one. Take the time and think to yourselves-when has Bill really come out and fought strong for us-- Sure he voted no to certain things-- that he should have--but one has to ask --why? To get votes is why-- to look good is why--When Bill Courtright comes out blasting against Gatelli and Fanucci and McGoff and stops spending our money--"CRF"S maybe I'd reconsider-but what you are forgetting is--I know Bill Courtright and he is not capable of really being for the people--it is not in him- he puts on a good show-- the trouble is he will be as good as gold before election to lure you in-- then he gets your vote come November-- then watch out-- the gloves are off-- now he does what Bill does-- WHATEVER "HE" WANTS" at our expense-- the clue was the 35 million garage deal-- don't you wonder how someone who is for the people, for US, could sell us down the river and not even care-- well I rest my case-- a vote for Bill Courtright is not a vote for the people-- make no mistake about that-- It is a shame we will probably find out the hard way, because Bill has always gone under the radar--and no one bothers dear nice guy Bill-- well you are in for the ride of your life by falling for his charade-Bill Courtright has his own agenda-- and we are not in it-- pay real close attention--and when September comes back--sure he will possibly speak up to gather the needed votes, even though he feels very secure already from the last election-- just do not allow him to fool you yet again-- nice guy? yes-for the people NO!! a resounding NO!!!!
doomers ... is this a copy of a DD post or is this your post .... just wondering?

I know that Fay does not and never has spoken for me ... and I can't imagine being so hate filled ... and no offense to any of the PD posters ... I can't imagine being so dedicated to posting on a website ... sure on occassion I spend a lot of time posting ... but that's not often ... it's actually sad that Fay has no life to speak of ... she uses her vacation time to go to Council meetings ... she must use a lot of her time to listen to radio shows ... Sue Henry ... I use my time off to spend time with my family. I kind of feel sorry for her ...
I think that she will be switching gears soon ... afterall the School District will be building a new school ... and well we know how she feels about new schools.

Ok Fay ... you asked a question ... about Sherri Fanuccis ability to keep her job and finish her term on Council ... Well Fay ... you need someone else to look it up for you ... but I thought that I would help you out ...
Is Sherri Fanucci allowed to hold two jobs both paid for by taxpayers money Everyone seems to have an OPINION on this matter and I believe it was even brought up at council--and brushed aside as though it did not matter-- I was speaking to a past school director the other day and they felt it was not legal for Sherri Fanucci to be allowed to have two jobs both coming from taxpayers money-- where to we go to find out the law on this-- like I have ALWAYS stated JUST BECAUSE they say it --(the lying three--Faucci, Gatelli and McGoff) does not make it so-- I would seriously like to see it in legal print where it states Sherri can maintain two taxpayer paid jobs at the same time-- anyone out there-- where is John Galt when I need him-- or simply direct Joe or Joanne to the correct legal department-- You see, all of these politicians get exactly what they want with no struggle--no hard objections from us-- example John Pocius's pension-- maybe he should not have it --well why is it he still does if that is so--same with Sherri-- remember as I have stated before Bobby Osbourne was taken off of the school board--and he was there for years until someone finally pushed the issue--so is that what we need to do--push the issue-- Marie Shumaker?-- someone-- we at least need to know the truth and take it fromthere--Hearing Sherri say it is fine she holds these jobs does not cut it for me-- and before you suggest why don't I do it- I know next to nothing about law--and for me to try to figure this out would bea waste of our time--and we need someone who knows which steps to take to dig into this very important matter-- All I want is the absolute truth--is she allowed to hold both jobs at the same time paid by the same taxpayers? Thank you anyone who would help in this matter--
Ok Fay I'll tell you the steps which are pretty easy .... google the hatch act ... do you have that ... then click on it ... and when you get there ... well it will give you any information you want on Public employees in Politics ... it's an amazing thing that google. You can do it ... I know you can ... but just in case you can't here is the link for you! Elected official who becomes a state employee
Here is a bit of what you will find there Fay as it pertains to an Elected official who becomes a state employee ... that's what Sherry is ...
Here you go:
Because the Hatch Act does not prohibit a covered employee from holding public office, the state employee would be allowed to finish out his elected term despite the fact that he works in connection with a federally funded program. However, while he remains an employee working inconnection with a federally funded program, he would be prohibited from becoming a candidate in a partisan election. Candidacy for purposes of the Hatch Act has been interpreted to extend not merely to the formal announcement of candidacy but also to the preliminaries leading to such announcement and to canvassing or soliciting support or doing or permitting to be done any act in furtherance of candidacy. As the statute has been interpreted to prohibit preliminary activities regarding candidacy, any action which can reasonably be construed as evidence that an individual is seeking support for or undertaking an initial campaign to secure nomination or election to office would be viewed as candidacy for purposes of 5 U.S.C. 1502(a)(3). Consequent1y, the employee would need to leave his covered state position prior to beginning his candidacy.
Now Fay ... I got you this far ... I think that you can do it on your own to find out if Sherry can run again ... but she sure can serve the rest of her term.
Oh and by the way Robert Osborne ... he was not removed ... he was not eligible to run again but he served for the period in which he was elected. Get it straight!

Fay you idiot, as we told you before, Bobby Osborne was not on the school board "for years" before "someone pushed it" and he was taken off, he was on the school board for one term of 4 years. He chose not to argue that he could run for a second term. If I remember correctly his contention pertained to this portion of the code :::: would be prohibited from becoming a candidate in a partisan election. :::
As school board candidates can, and most often do, cross-file he felt that thisqualified as NON-PARTISANgiven that you run as both an R & D on the ballot. I have no idea if his contention would have proven correct. He decided it wasn't worth arguing about, so he chose not to run. Period end of story.
Fay...you my dear are an idiot!

and if you read the hatch act you will find out that ... they cannot be canidate in a partisan election ... but can however be appointed to fill a vacancy ... they just cannot run for the office.

Gee Fay, I wonder if being a public school teacher would count as a job coming from taxpayer money? When last I checked, most of my city wages and a portion of my property tax goes to support the Scranton School District, so by your logic, I am hereby requesting that Janet Evans set a good example and step down as a Scranton City Council member.
Do I have a second to that motion?
