Above The Law

No one is above the law. How many times have we heard those words and said - yes! This is true and yet only to be disappointed by the very people we elect. An abuse of power is an abuse of power - and it hurts all of us. For the wealthy and especially to the aging who live meager pensions and Social Security. It hardly seems fair when people who should and do know better take advantage of us.

Take the matter of Teresa Stagliano and her husband Albert, while albeit a small infraction, parking directly under the Fire Zone signs in the Collegeville Shopping Center (next to Pizza Stop). After this blog reported this in October 2007, the abuse of Mayor Albert Stagliano and his wife Teresa not just stopped parking in the fire zone but the Mayor sold his Cadillac Sedan Deville in what appears to be an attempt to distance himself from the pictures of that car and the story.

But until this day, Tony Mazzumuto and his son park under that very Fire Zone sign with the blessing of both Teresa Stagliano, the President of Collegeville Council and her husband, Albert Stagliano, Mayor of Collegeville and the overseer of Police Department at the highest level. Now everyone knows that Tony and Al have been the best of friends for many, many years. I guess that has paid off for Tony - I wonder what else?

And then there is the fact that Ms. Stagliano placed her signs out many weeks prior to the '30 day law' (cannot place signs prior to 30 days of the scheduled election). And why not illegal it certainly goes to credability that the only veteran we could find supporting Ms. Stagliano is her husband Albert. The veteran signs are misleading at best and a lie at worst. The position that Ms. Stagliano is running for represents the first step in our judicial process. The person elected for this position must be beyond reproach and Ms. Stagliano, in our opinion (and the record will show) does not meet this criteria.

We could go on but suffice it to say that our opinion is that someone of Ms. Stagliano's character and credentials is not qualified to hold office and certainly not that of a judicial office. Stay tuned to our blog and we will educate you to these facts between now and the election.
