There she goes AGAIN ! ! !

Hempfield Township Supervisor and Westmoreland County Commissioner candidate Kim Ward on her Blog, has called for Erie Superior Court Judge Michael Thomas Joyce to step down from his position based on an indictment, “…so if the indictment is based on fact then Judge Joyce doesn’t need to wait to step down until the conclusion of the case, he should do it now.”
.
This is very interesting considering that right here in Westmoreland County, there has been an indictment against Sen. Regola for months – and now Supervisor Kim Ward see it her duty to publicly call for the Erie Judge to resign but has not done the same and called for the Westmoreland Senator's resignation?
.
Gee, Kim, the Senator from Westmoreland County has also been accused and criminally indicted – charged with even lying - but you have never called for the Westmoreland Senator's resignation. This is very hypocritical behavior on the part of Supervisor Kim Ward - or is it just political behavior.
.
One has to ask “Why is it that Republicans, like Supervisor Kim Ward, want to appear tough on crime and ethics at election time except when it comes to their personal friends.
.
Supervisor Kim Ward quietly and privately, outside of public view, says she called for the Hempfield Authority appointees to resign for alleged credit card abuse, but when Senator Regola was indicted, Supervisor Ward remained quiet. Why is it now that Supervisor Ward has chosen to publicly stand on her bully pulpit as a candidate for office this fall and call for the Erie Superior Court Judge’s resignation and for the Judge to “do it now.”
.
It is time for Supervisor Kim Ward to be concerned with the affairs in her back yard, not those in Erie. After all Kim, you are a candidate for Westmoreland County Commissioner – not a candidate for Governor.

THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA has already taken the steps necessary to protect Pennsylvania citizens with their court order:
.
“AND NOW, this 17th day of August 2007, this Court has received notice of an indictment by the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against the Honorable Michael Thomas Joyce, a judge of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania. In view of the compelling and immediate need to protect and preserve the integrity of the Unified Judicial System and the administration of justice for the citizens of this Commonwealth, the Honorable Michael Thomas Joyce is hereby relieved of any and all judicial and administrative responsibilities as a judge of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania and ordered not to take any further administrative or judicial action whatsoever in any case or proceeding now or hereinafter pending in the Superior Court of Pennsylvania until further Order of this Court."

"Justice and Equal Treatment for or for all" does not seem to be Supervisor Ward's Campaign Theme!
