UPDATE: The county executive (of course) vetoed the measure passed by Erie County Council to establish restrictions on social media. On March 25th, Erie County Council voted 7-0 to override the veto. It seems no one on council can justify his behavior any longer.
March 9th, Erie County Council voted 7-0 to limit the county executive’s actions on the county’s social media.
Erie Co. Council votes Tuesday night on usage of county Facebook account.
Erie County Council Votes to Ban Partisan Posts on Official County Social Media Page
His behavior on the Erie County, Pennsylvania Facebook page has been so controversial that even the three council members that usually condone his behavior couldn’t justify it this time. It’s too bad that they didn’t reach this epiphany sooner–such as the vote to override the veto rescinding the library lease. Prior to the social media vote, the county executive turned off commenting, and deleted all posts prior to his administration on the county Facebook page. Immediately following the vote, the county executive deleted the entire page. The page is now up again, with no comments by taxpayers permitted and a new rant about council. And it’s funny how he has so much time to spend so much time on Facebook, but doesn’t have time to respond to our discovery requests. After the 7-0 vote, it appears the one friend he might have left is Gannon, and he had to give away a large chunk of our library to get them. Help us make sure he finally stands alone by donating to our legal fund.
