Castor stands up for Montco workers

A good Letter to the Editor by Montgomery County Commissioner Bruce L. Castor Jr. setting the record straight about the poor fiscal record of fellow commissioners Joe Hoeffel and Jim Matthews. The letter was in response to an editorial in the Doylestown Intelligencer blaming rising health care costs for the county's fiscal woes, but neglecting to mention two years of irresponsible spending by Hoeffel/Matthews.

From Castor's letter:

Your editorial completely missed the point that while Commissioners Matthews and Hoeffel have no problem heaping the burdens of their wild spending practices and financial mismanagement onto the backs of our employees, they are unwilling to make any cuts to their pet projects or crony employees.

The rank-and-file employees have sacrificed enough to help get us out of this mess Hoeffel and Matthews have created. It is time for them to lead by example and inflict some of the pain on themselves before heaping it further on anyone else in the county, including the taxpayers.
