Actions Speak Louder than Words
A refreshing article caught my eye in the Tribune Review yesterday (6-21-07), “Hempfield supervisor calls for 2 resignations.” The article stated that Hempfield Township Supervisor Bob Davidson has asked two of the members (Mr. Bob Regola and Mr. Brad Melenia) of the Hempfield Township Municipal Authority to resign due to "excessive abuse" of credit cards. Good for Mr. Davidson! At least one of the supervisors in Hempfield cares about the rate payers of this authority. I wonder why Kim Ward, Chairman, Hempfield Township Supervisors, has remained silent on this issue. She certainly preaches enough about ethics and accountability on her Web site, yet never follows through with the actions to back up her statements. Clearly, she is just another candidate trying to get elected based on “sound bites” and not on the basis of successfully governing the people in the capacity in which she was elected to do. Kim—you’ve brought the phrase “Do as I say, not as I do” to a whole new level. Practice what you preach and ask these men to step down. I ask myself, what does George Dunbar think about this situation? Certainly “silence is golden” is not the case here.
