I was wondering how long it would take for this to come out of the woodwork. The day after he was nominated this was circulating around our office, but nothing was ever official said in the press about this. I'm surprise WNEP did not cover this.

I was surprised that Mr. Iseman of the Times Leader didn't mention it in his column, considering he was critical of Mr. Martin's appiontment to the position.

I think the reason why we have not seen any negative press is the simple fact that when Keith Martin was nominated to head this project it was such a positive thing for Scranton and all of NEPA that perhaps just for once people in the media decided to embrace that point and let the past, though negative as it may be, behind. I mean look at Martin's track record and I think think speaks for itself. I always thought if he did get into local politics or ever state wide he would do a bang up job. He is a great public speaker and really knows how motivate people. This may be a stepping stone to a very long a fruitful political career for this Scranton native.

I didn't think he was a Scranton native. Personally, I don't think his nomination was positive... but that's just my opinion. Though to be honest, in my opinion, the office is a joke.
Mr. Iseman e-mailed me saying that the Times Leader DID mention this "arms link" in two stories. But I never saw them, so maybe they were not published on-line?
