Guess which party runs this city

The Reading Eagle, one of the most liberal newspapers in Pennsylvania, has a nice editorial in its Sunday edition about an $11.5 million budget fiasco in the City of Reading that will lead to massive property tax hikes for a city already bankrupt and facing a state takeover under Act 47.

But the newspaper never bothers to mention that the people in charge of the city's finances -- the mayor, all seven members of City Council and the city auditor -- are all elected Democrats.

The newspaper says mistakes were made but there's no reason to point fingers at the culprits. Excuse me? Nobody is to blame for an $11.5 million mistake?

What if Republicans were running the town? You'd better believe there would be plenty of blame to go around.

Another classic example of liberal media bias.

Read the editorial for yourself ... but just remember that every city official involved in the scandal is a Democrat.

Fix problem, not blame, on improper city borrowing (5/23/10)
