A candidate for Lehighton Borough Council


The Times News has been running short articles on candidates for local office in Carbon County.  Today one of the stories was about John Bird, candidate for Lehighton Borough Council  Here are some actual quotations from the article, reprinted exactly as they appeared:

The 55-year-old noted conservative, defends Constitutional rights and practices lower cost, limited government.

Bird remarked he applied for federal jobs in the Maryland-DC areas.  Although well-qualified, he was denied jobs to accommodate Affirmative Action.

He continued, ‘“Inflation caused by disastrous federal policies, has made our jobs more difficult and complex.  The rising cost of energy and health care are straining municipal budgets across the nation.”

I have no further comment.
