Long past time to shut down Harrisburg! My gun and bible are getting indents from my grip!!

During a recent trip to Harrisburg to notify state officials that Montour County is suing them for their share of Buehner’s salary, the commissioners said they were astounded by what they saw.

Commissioner Jack Gerst said everyone had Segways — personal transportation devices that can cost about $5,000 each— in their offices to travel the hallways.

Huge mahogany desks filled each room, and landscaping employees just leaned on their shovels and talked, he said.

The state Justice Center had a large marble floor, with a marble state seal embedded, in a room no one uses, Commissioner Trevor Finn said.

Everything was brand-new, he added.

“We’re right in the middle of no budget,” Gerst said. "We can’t fund kids. We can’t fund elderly. We can’t fund meals on wheels, but we have a granite and marble kingdom."
