No Respect For Voters

 


Lehigh Valley Controller Mark Pinsley has demonstrated over and over again little to no respect for the voters.  When just elected as a South Whitehall Commissioner, he announced his candidacy for state senator.  When that attempt failed, he began his campaign for county controller.

When a drug fueled Dorney Park patron was shot and killed on Hamilton Blvd. by a South Whitehall police officer, Pinsley, although a township commissioner, stood with the protestors.  Although entitled to his personal sentiments,  he knew that there would be litigation against the township.

Pinsley has a paid facebook promotion criticizing  two commissioners (Kelly and Wolk), while endorsing two others for re-election (Morgan and Setton).  He writes... Commissioners Kelly and Wolk have both fought to rebuild the Weirs (sic) Dam, costing South Whitehall taxpayers $600,000-$1,000,000*. The cost for taking it down? $0. That amount of money, especially for a municipality, is incredibly substantial: COVID relief, tax credits, roads and bridges, infrastructure. All of these crucial programs could have been thoroughly paid for by this new funding, and yet it's wasted on a needless damn (sic) in an underfunded park.  Pinsley totally ignores the fact that voters chose by referendum to keep the dam.  He thinks that votes for him and his political minions are valid, but for other things that he doesn't want or like, the votes don't count. 

* The cost of the dam repair has been greatly inflated by those trying to circumvent the intent of the referendum. When the township decides to finally respect the voters' wishes, the actual repair will cost a faction thereof.

  1. Mr. Molovinsky, did I see that you had made a comment on Pinsley's FB post which you referenced? I thought I saw it on there. If so, it is gone now. He took it down.

  2. His post appeared on my timeline as a paid sponsored piece. I did comment on it at my timeline, and he did remove the comment, but not before Matt Mobilio put a haha emoji to the comment. I don't consider Pinsley, Mobilio or Morgan a laughing matter.

  3. Very sad and disturbing that an elected official is removing comments from citizens, just because they are critical of the politician.

  4. Hey, Pinsley, leave the dam alone. All in all your corruption is a brick in an unrepaired wall. (Thank you, Pink Floyd.)
