Happy Red Wave Happy Hour — Frank Agovino told us at last night’s, May 13, Red Wave Happy Hour, that the Republican confidence concerning November is real.
Frank is Delco’s GOP Chairman and the event was at DiFabio’s Market and Tap in Upper Providence, one of his several restaurants.
He said the reason for feeling good is the performance by the Democrats controlling the county.
Really, 23.8 percent tax hikes and the destruction of Delaware County’s once great medical system are pretty good issues.
Frank said that he knew that Prospect Medical Holdings of California — which acquired Taylor, Springfield and Crozer Chester hospitals — were greedy vultures 20 years ago when he sat on the Springfield School Board and kept them at arms length.
That the Dems in county government couldn’t do the same shows they are fools or worse.
Another 20 percent county tax hike is coming Delco’s way next year. Its working class will be destroyed unless it wakes up and throws the clowns out.
The event was hosted by the Media Republican Party whose chairman, Michael Straw, is part of the sanity ticket running for Rose Tree Media School Board.
We can’t call it a Republican ticket as the team includes an actual Democrat, Michael says.
The platform is basically, well, sanity. Sanity means stopping such policies as bussing kids 20 minutes to Middletown and Edgmont when they could easily walk to a school in Media Borough.
Also, there is a full slate of Republicas running for Media Borough Council and mayor.
One issue is stopping a bizarre plan by the present mayor to ban cars.
Call this the sanity ticket too.
The primary is May 20. Except for one notable write-in campaign it is smooth sailing for the endorsed candidates.
