I'm not a political junkie - I skim the news for basic info. Since I do not live in WB (Praise the Lord) I don't vote in WB, so ballot details are unimportant to me.

But, just for you - I'll make sure I study thoroughly b4 our next exchange.

I am reading with interest the posts on local politics in WB/Luzerne... The corruption, the patronism, the 'good ol' boy' network....sounds so much like my bailiwick.

Guess things are the same everywhere.

I remember my Dad telling me that the Democrats running for office in WB, back in the 1930's used to walk the elder 'babushkas' into the voting booth, pull the levers for them, then give them a live chicken to take home.

At least my Babci scored Sunday dinner back then...

Now all you get is unfulfilled promises.
