Dee said...
I can't believe with all the problems in this county and wanting a tax increase they could hold a party like this.. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?????????
pittston said...
waste of taxpayers dollars.
Oh Boy said...
Where is the photo of Steve Urban? Or didn't he go?

The Luzerne County Court House Centennial Gala was beautiful. Although it was tainted with recent current events the celebration can be viewed as turning a page in history to promote a better government. We can regain our pride and elect officials who will honor their position and restore trust. LOL! I wish my Mom was around to comb my hair before the photograph snapped the photograph. I miss her company. Thanks for the companionship to all! Sharing conversation, dancing and a brief time smoking a ladies good cigar with fine gentlemen was great!
marc said...
I'm curious.. how much did this shin dig cost? and how did the lucky people that attended get invited? but the biggest question is did this come out of the taxpayers pockets???
joe said...

JOHN said...
How much this this event cost and who paid for it.

The 'Grande Dame' known as Luzerne County Courthouse , Stole the Show. Now let's Roll Up Our Sleeves, and Get Busy. "God Bless Luzerne County, and God Bless America, Land That I Love..."

Perhaps anyone who wanted to attend paid a ticket price?

There was no taxpayer dollars spent. Tickets were $65 and the rest was corporate sponsorships. And BTW, there were MANY ads inviting the public to attend.
Fred said...
To Get a Life... Thanks for the details of the party....Now how about some info on the judges....OH! I'm sorry you probably just "forgot"!!!!!!!!!!
