Our Mayor is “Unbelievable”

  • NEPOTISM: He gives CITY JOBS to his children! : Merriam Webster defines Nepotism: favoritism (as in appointment to a job) based on kinship. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nepotism  I don’t know another way to call it. What Tommy did by signing executive orders to hire his children is Nepotism. Now folks say it’s OK because a lot of small businesses do it, and if you had a store wouldn’t you give you child a job? Answer YES but again that’s my store not yours. THE CITY OF WILKES BARRE is our store TOMMY not yours. Therefore you cannot just hire your children. That’s not only a BAD thing. It’s an illegal thing.   For clarification the C.A. Leighton Co. is your store. Do with it what you will.
  •  CRONYISM:  Merriam Webster defines Cronyism: partiality to cronies especially as evidenced in the appointment of political hangers-on to office without regard to their qualifications. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cronyism How many city officials can we say this about?
  • Defiance for the LAW: The Citizens Voice reported that Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton and Kingston Mayor Jim Haggerty were campaigning May 17 inside the polling location at Kistler Elementary School in Wilkes-Barre.I can personally attest to this as I was campaigning outside that same polling location that day, and when I mentioned it, I was told to shut up. You should all know by now that’s the one thing I simply will not do, and neither should you. Never SHUT UP, and never PUT UP!!!! 
  • Understand this, NO 1, and I mean NO 1 is above the LAW, and you guessed it not even our illustrious corrupt MAYOR!!!

  • Travel & Tourism: How many citizens of Wilkes Barre have felt the need to stay in a hotel in Clarks Summit because the drive is simply to taxing? We have City Officials doing just that paying over $100 a night at The Inn at Nicholas Village, and for what? That’s just 28 miles less than 40 minutes travel time, and we needed a hotel.
