Zimmerlink backed
I intended to discuss the race district attorney of Fayette County in the coming election, and I will.
But first, I want to comment on the county commissioners. A recent publication stated that Fayette County is the unhealthiest of all the counties in Pennsylvania. I will submit that this same rating would also belong to the county commissioners. Poverty was blamed for the health statistics. I blame the ingredients to the commissioners except for Angela Zimmerlink. The commissioners should post on their wall common sense and cooperation. I further submit myself and Marigrace Butela to be a breath of fresh air to the commissioners. Time will tell.
Now to the DA race. District Attorney Jack Heneks has done a fantastic job without fanfare or headlines and I know he would never support any big gas company that tries to destroy good families. No silly plea bargains. He will let our fine judges determine the penalties or a jury. His drug task force is working diligently forcing dealers out of the county. I saw one of the candidates in an ad saying he will help senior citizens. How? What with – wheelchairs with wire wheels? Let’s not mess up a fine DA office and staff. Mr. Heneks works well with enforcement and judges to correct our horrible drug problems. It takes time, and the DA is spending it.
One final thought. I am hearing rumors and lies about candidates attributed to political has-beens and to those without brains. Jealousy?
