A Mayor’s Mission

I've done sock collections and coat collections to benefit the homeless of the Lehigh Valley in the past. I've called them "The Mayor's Mission." Now, it's time for me to organize something for the Bath Food Bank.

At the suggestion of many of my Facebook friends and my phrase "For the love of cake..." this year's "Mayors Mission" will be a shirt sale with all proceeds benefiting the Bath Area Food Bank.

T-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts, crew sweatshirts, and tanks will be available with this fundraiser. I am grateful to Bindics Screen Printing for always stepping up for me...in fact, for over 25+ years, I've been ordering shirts from this amazing small business - dedicated to the communities of the Lehigh Valley. The entire fundraiser will be online.

Therefore, I kindly ask for your participation with this fundraiser which will benefit those in need. For more information, please visit https:// stores.inksoft.com/fortheloveofcake.

Actions taken by Defendants crossed those lines. It is the duty of the Court to declare those actions unconstitutional.”

Governor Wolf’s administration has said it will appeal the federal judge’s ruling.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf vowed he wouldn’t heed the “irresponsible demands” in the state legislature concerning the coronavirus response, hitting back storm cleanup:

“I believe the vast majority of Pennsylvanians understand what we had to do in the beginning was necessary to buy the time to keep people safe before we got the capacity we needed to address this virus,” Wolf said. “And the vast majority simply don’t buy into the conspiracy theories or fear mongering from the president or from the Harrisburg Republicans about this virus.”

Wolf responded by saying he’d done what was necessary to try to
