County Council Candidate Debate

The candidates for Northampton County Council met for a debate last night at St. John's in Nazareth.

The Morning Call reports on the debate (read it here) and indicates it was fairly low key due to the format. The main issues were the perpetual healthcare for retired employees, the prison, and some discussion was had regarding the anonymous campaign calls against Ferraro and Angle.

Lehigh Valley Ramblings also has a description of the event (read it here). While entertaining, it appears from reading both accounts that very little was learned from the candidates to help voters.

Also on the political front, I received an email announcement that the Northampton County Republican Committee Chairperson, Bob Kilbanks will be having a press conference today at 1:00 p.m. at the County Courthouse to address, "Campaign law violations, Campaign finance and questionable campaign practices."
