tomorrow av security suite scam marino the drug czar thursday october 18 2018 luzerne county democratic organization there are 6 legislative districts in luzerne county that are based on the pa house districts and that is how the county democratic and republican parties have been organized for as long as i remember there used to be 7 but it gets confusing the 116th hd is the luzerne county democratic party 1st district presently represented by tarah toohil r no opponent in this election the 117th is the 2nd district karen boback r no opponent the 118th is the 3rd district mike carroll d no opponent the 119th is the 4th district jerry mullery d justin behrens is the republican nominee the 120th is the 5th district aaron kaufer r no opponent the 121st is the 6th district eddie day pashinki d sue henry is the republican nominee recently the county republican party renamed their subdivisions to the corresponding pa house districts so now it s not the 5th district republicans but the 120th district republicans etc that is very progressive of them the democratic party should do the same thing posted by gort at 6 33 pm 1 comment labels luzerne county luzerne county democrats tuesday october 16 2018 matt cartwright s lame media matt cartwright d pa8 and john chrin nj have a lot of money to spend on teevee ads right out of the box chrin was kicking cartwright s teeth in sanctuary cities higher taxes welfare and scary photos of the soft spoken grandmother from sodom on the san andreas that s normal for a challenger to tear down the incumbent because he really doesn t have anything to offer read his issue page but he does have the endorsement of the part time occupant of the white house and his butler in response the cartwright campaign violated the first rule of political advertising never ever let your candidate respond to an attack ad use a narrator man in the street etc but they keep using the same approach i have a novel idea for the cartwright campaign remind us why we voted for you in 2012 instead we get new jersey and social security posted by gort at 10 46 pm 1 comment labels donald trump john chrin matt cartwright mike pence nancy pelosi pa 8 2018 sunday september 16 2018 eddie day pashinski for state represenative eddie day had his annual brunch that attracted about 300 people at genetti s he brought in some of the heavy hitters in state and local politics like bob casey matt cartwright john yudichak mike carrol and guido sarducci in the warm up yuddy sang eddie s praises since he rarely does it himself he recounted the many infrastructure and economic development projects he has done the hard work to make it happen he had a nice quip about how he shows up with a piano and his own paparazzi matt cartwright also praised him and noted that he is sharing campaign space in w b he said i ve had worst roommates but at least he cleans up after himself all those losing lottery tickets and empty cans end up in the trash senator bob casey continues to impress me he gave another fiery address about the aca and his opposition to the trumplican agenda when it came time for eddie to speak he told us about he is working with his republican colleagues to get help for grandparents raising grand kids he lamented that that the republican party has been hijacked by extremist who want to divide us on race sex etc he said they want to divide us because there are more of us than them he decried the money in politics and defended public schools labor unions social security and medicare he doesn t want to go back to the days of the coal barons and celebrated the gains made on job safety the 8 hr workday 40 hr week because of collective bargaining and then he went on and on and on so i had to leave because i already missed kickoff he never mentioned his opponent posted by gort at 5 54 pm no comments labels 121st bob casey eddie day pashinski john yudichak matt cartwright mike carrol sue henry friday september 14 2018 scott wagner in luzerne county gop governor nominee scott wagner had a rally at the woodlands wenesday night and had a nice turnout state senator lisa baker was the mc and she kept the program rolling along limiting the under card to brief statements many people think she should run for governor the state rep candidates warmed up the room sue henry started off with her usual good humor saying it s really good to be behind the microphone again i m sure she is happy that the red sox are running away with the al east she then made her case for property tax reform i want to thank sue for being so generous to me when she was on wilk she always gave me a good time slot 07 after the hour and entertaining us on wrkc 88 5 fm my favorite conversation was when we decided to nominate david yonki for jury commissioner i have always cast a write in vote for the yonk in every election since justin behrens and frank scavo also joined the bandwagon on taxes john chrin r nj said something about socialism the red meat was thrown out by pennsylvania gop chair valetino degiorgio he mentioned maxine waters and nancy peolsi which got of few boos in the audience he repeated the allegation that immigrants get welfare and socialism he forgot george soros scott wagner started his speech talking about his humble upbringing and some flashes of humor admitting he didn t have the best smile and can sometimes be abrasive he talked about touring areas hit by the recent flooding recent and accused tom wolf of using it as a photo op he backed teachers in his education plan but panned union bosses wagner wants to sell the liquor stores to fund education he also made fun of wolf s honky jeep he denied wanting to tax retirement income claiming his opponent is using 7 seconds of a long speech out of context he talked about his plan to combat pennsylvania s opioid epidemic emphasizing treatment education and surprisingly suing pharmaceutical companies then he attack wolf for vetoing a bill he sponsored claiming he did it because he has taken money from the pac fairness pa saying governor wolf is just as bad as the drug dealers he also said if you want a guy who enables those who makes money killing our kids taking contributions of 1 2 million please reelect tom wolf because i m not your guy he then said he could get things done because he has relationships with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and told us what a great guy john yudichak is wagner unveils first real plan to tackle opioid epidemic posted by gort at 9 19 pm 1 comment labels 10th cd 2018 121st 2018 governor david yonki eddie day pashinski lisa baker scott wagner sd20 sue henry the woodlands tom wolf monday september 03 2018 oppose the funeral tax sue henry has a famous name and a bumper sticker issue in her challenge to eddie day pashinski her issue is eliminate property taxes but hb 76 does no such thing it just moves taxes from the wealthy property owners to working people the response should be to oppose the expansion of the sales and income tax such as a new tax on funeral services of 7 it will also tax food and clothing for the first time no one wants to see a senior lose their home as we are told but i ve never seen any data to support the allegation that seniors lose there home more than other people that fall behind on their taxes in fact people over 65 and the disabled get a rebate up to 650 to offset the tax i would like to see it applied up front so they don t have to wait for the money after they paid the bill i m getting to be a senior and know how much a funeral can cost since i have had to plan a few i read obituaries all the time that ask for a donation to a go fund me page to pay for the funeral service burial and marker sadly many of the deceased left us way before they should have because of overdose murder car crashes etc young people for the most part don t have life insurance and the family should not be burdened with an additional cost such as a sales tax posted by gort at 7 42 pm 4 comments labels 121st eddie day pashinski hb76 property tax sue henry tuesday august 28 2018 cartwight opens wilkes barre office a literately overflow crowd was on hand for the opening of matt cartwright s w b office in w b tonight so many people showed up that there wasn t enough room in the building to hear him speak and those who couldn t get in spilled out onto the sidewalk i was a afraid the fire marshal would arrive but mayor tony george was there so that didn t happen matt cartwright d moosic started off by asking a moment of silence for john mccain he then assured us that there are members on both sides of the aisle who want to do the right thing for our country and tries to work with them everyday he s proud that many of the bills he has introduced have republican co sponsors he gave a full throttled defense of social security and medicare and trashed the latest trickle down tax cut bill he reminded the crowd that the full name of obamacare is the patient protection and affordable care act the protection part is making sure that people with pre existing conditions can get coverage a big chunk of the population has some sort of medical condition that used to allow insurers to deny them coverage he decried the provisions of the last tax bill that gave away the store to corporations and the very rich with few benefits for the rest of us part of it was repealing the the individual mandate that cuts funding for the program and reduces the risk pool so premiums will soar posted by gort at 10 52

pav was another roaring success it was a salute to labor and was attended by the working men and women in his district and beyond the unions were out in force but so were people who don t have union representation in their workplace but wish they did it was of course a political rally and many elected officials and candidates attended the official program was mercifully short with luzerne county

deposit to the rainy day fund wolf pointed out that he was able to restore funding for education working with a republican legislature he didn t mention his opponent once the local democratic
