So after a year of denying covid is a problem, complaining about mask mandates and ignoring hundreds of grieving Westmoreland County families, commissioners Sean Kertes and Doug Chew and their enablers in the state Legislature now complain that vaccines aren’t happening as they want? Give me a break!
Perhaps if they actually supported mitigation efforts to slow the spread of the virus and spent the past year actually formulating a plan to deal with the local impacts of the pandemic, they might actually have some credibility. Instead, what they accomplished is merely a publicity stunt.
Kertes and Chew had the chance to lead. They failed. And the Westmoreland Republican legislative delegation is merely playing politics now, while they did nothing over the past year except complain.
It’s an insult to the residents of Westmoreland County and a total lack of leadership. We deserve better.
