The Fate Of The Springfield P.O.

The Springfield Post Office, which has graced Brookside Road in the Pennsylvania Township for more than five decades, may be moving with the rumors saying its new home will be next to Michaels Arts & Crafts, at 601 Baltimore Pike.

Postal officials are scheduled to give an full explanation at the Aug. 11 Springfield Commissioners meeting scheduled to start at 8 p.m. at the township building.

The building has long been a non-delivery facility with mail addressed to the 19064 Zip Code being trucked from the Media Annex on Route 452 in Middletown Township.

Curt Weldon Travesty Ends

The chief of staff to former congressman Curt Weldon was sentenced, July 30, for the heinous offense of not reporting $19,000 his wife made with a non-profit as required. Russell James Caso Jr., 36, got probation. Curt Weldon Travesty Ends

He joins fellow Weldon associate Cece Grimes, 42, who also got probation for the crime of destroying some emails.

These vile deeds came to light during an investigation of Weldon that became public when federal agents raided the homes  of his daughter Karen and political ally Charlie Sexton three weeks before the 2006 election. Karen and Sexton owned and operated the consulting firm Solutions North America, which the feds claimed used Weldon’s connections to win lobbying contracts.

So, umm, where are the convictions for Ms. Weldon and Sexton? Heck, what are the charges against Ms. Weldon and Sexton, or the former congressman for that matter? It’s been three years, you would think the feds would have had things pretty much wrapped up since they were willing to perform the rather significant act of staging an election-eve raid. What would have been the problem with waiting until the  Wednesday  after Election Day considering not much appears to have been found?

The raid iced the race for Joe “Grandpa Really Doesn’t Need That Pacemaker” Sestak, and got rid of Weldon who had written the controversial book  Countdown To Terror, alleging gross incompetence in the U.S. intelligence agencies.

The raids did unveil a major amount of corruption. Unfortunately the vast majority of it seems to be in federal law enforcement.

With regard to Weldon’s book here it is at Amazon.

Toll I-80 X-Man Again Tries

Toll I-80 X-Man Again Tries — Gov. Ed “X-Man” Rendell is bravely using his incompetence in state budgetary matters to revive an attempt to further snarl traffic on Pennsylvania’s interstate highways, namely making I-80 a toll road.

Smart idea. We can’t pay the state workers we have so let’s hire some more.

Toll roads are an extraordinarily inefficient means of raising revenue but their economic costs are better hidden than other taxes, and of course they give hacks of either party a chance to bestow jobs and have people kiss their rings.

With regard to the CO2-emitting traffic snarls, I guess some people who say global warming is a crisis don’t really believe it to be.
