In our Scranton Election Roundup, we noted with surprise that Janet Evans was not the top vote-getter. This, we thought, was a big deal. Maybe, we thought, a few enlightened individuals had finally recognized that her back injuries made it too hard for her to do her job. Or maybe they were sick of her naysaying and grandstanding.
But sadly, the news rolled in that the voting machines screwed up, and she may end up on top after all.
When called for comment (brace yourselves, this is coming out of left field), Evans was too sick to comment.
Has Evans ever been healthy enough to do anything, either her job, debates, or make comments on her victories? Maybe she took the Stulgis road, you know, the whole “I slammed my pinky in a drawer and need workman’s comp” road.
Seriously though, folks, Evans should take time to convalesce. Her dedication to politics obviously supercedes even her commitments to educating our young. While that is impressive, NEPArtisan renews its call for Evans to resign from Council until she stops getting sick or injured.
Another chuckle-worthy tidbit: Castellano’s campaign manager jumped in and wants a sample hand recount! Newsflash: This mistake will likely INCREASE Margie’s total. More people vote straight Democrat in this county than straight Republican.
