Rafferty for AG?

We said we had The Scoop on Montco DA Risa Ferman throwing her hat in the ring for the state Attorney General's seat, and we still haven't heard a difinitive no, but, now state Sen. John Rafferty is definitely throwing is figurative hat (The Scoop has never seen John in a hat) in the ring. So, is the county DA deferring to the state senator?

The One Montgomery County Money Pit


OK, so we've written about this before, but, seriously, who inspected One Montgomery Plaza in Norristown before the county plopped down your hard earned tax dollars to buy it?

The Scoop has it on good authority that the county's own property management director didn't even look at the building before it was purchased. Really?

Now, where does that lawsuit stand? You know, the one where the company working on the garage that was falling apart when the building was purchased is suing because the county apparently didn't pay them.

What a money pit.

Would a little due diligence have been too much to ask?
