We Have a Race
So the rumors are true - there is now a primary for the GOP nomination for County Commissioner. Mechanicsburg lawyer Karen Gunnison has decided to run.
Here’s the story - click here.
It’s pretty obvious based on where she is making her announcement that a certain past county commissioner is upset that the current GOP Commissioners have been undoing what she had done while in office.
The most amusing part of the article is summed up in one paragraph:
Stabile, a classmate of Gunnison’s at Dickinson School of Law, says the committee will hold its endorsement meeting Feb. 17. Gunnison is hoping for an open primary, but if not, says she is interested in the endorsement.
I have news for Gunnison - there is a better chance of it snowing in the Bahamas in July than there is of there being an open primary. Here’s some free advice for Gunnison, if you really are going to go through with this and really run - forget the Committee - they aren’t going to support you, they aren’t going to go for an open primary.

I’ve known about this for some time and still can’t make heads or tails of it. This is either 4 years of revenge or a stepping stone to some higher office, because I can’t imagine why anyone would want to invest in opposing such a strong board. Personally, I think the commissioners have done pretty good and in 4 years, haven’t talked to a single person who knows the costs associated with CREDC and CorridorONE and is still in favor of either. Running to the left of either commissioner is just going to open up their track record on savings and the unnecessary expenditures of either of those two programs.
I do agree however, that she shouldn’t waste any time focusing on the committee. Its going to be a hard enough race to begin with - focus on the issues rather than gladhanding the people who don’t do much to begin with.
