From the Scranton Times Tribune:

"Tuesday's council race saw Mr. Rogan gaining the most votes among his team, with Mr. Joyce close behind and Mrs. Evans a few hundred votes behind him. "

Now you all tell me why she should become the Council President ... she shouldn't!  But that's just my opinion!

ahhhhh ... do you see your throne and your crown slipping away ... and do the election results have anything to do with some of the people wondering just how you are going to be able to do your council job when you can't teach ... due to your back injury ... hmmmmm ... very interesting.

After all if you can hang out at a celebration party ....after campaigning all day.......and "party" (those by the way are the words of the WILK announcer who attended the party  "They are partying here" you must be cured right??

Hold off on that one Thursday...the Evans implosion begins in January.

Printer Friendly Surprised Evans would show up with her bad back and all (cough, cough).

My point is that Janet supporters have always claimed that Mrs. Evans would be the top vote getter even if she did not campaign ... which from what I understand she did not ... however she no longer can claim that they love her more than anyone else because she did not get more votes than the other candidates who won ... she may have almost gotten more than the mayor ... and usually she does ... but the point here today is that she didn't.

I understand what it is your saying Balko ... But there obviously are people out there who voted for the two that did not have name recognition and did not vote for Mrs. Evans.

Unfortunately so were any number of historic people ....who in retrospect were loons...

This is ENTIRELY CONSISTENT with what we have been saying all alone.  Janet Evans is the ROLE MODEL for the glad-handing politician who simply tells people what they want to hear, but yet has actions that run counter to her lofty campaign promises. 

She talks about how horrible the Mayor's budgets have been, but yet she produces nothing of substance in response.

She talks about giving raises to uniformed employees (and when it comes to the Police I actually agree with her BTW) and increasing their numbers, but seems to think that this can be paid for by rolling back administration costs.  Correct me if I am wrong, but there are probably 4+ unionized employees in Scranton for every administration appointee.  Oh, and she's going to do this without raising taxes.

She talks about "cronyism" and other abuses of power, but yet her own hiring as a full-time teacher in the Scranton School District was a TEXTBOOK CASE of a politician self-dealing.  Add to his the English Teacher back injury that seemed non-existent when she was rollicking during election celebration last Tuesday night. 

Janet Evans will always get a lot of votes because Janet Evans is a skilled politician.  Unfortunately there are a lot of people who are gullible enough to believe what they hear.

Free Speech does't require a multi-paragrah disclaimer Mr. Pilchesky.

So Hammer what you are saying is that the Times is wrong about the story that they ran concerning the vote totals for the Tax Collector and Council races? I don't know that they could possibly have made that story up.
