I tried to inform the school district today about the hunt. In an email sent to the school board, superintendent, commission and municipal manager:
Since the Commission's School Board Liaison Kristen Linfante is going on a leave of absence, I wanted to bring this to your attention. This is a walking community, and the district has identified safe walking routes. Every street in Mt. Lebanon is listed. Here are the recommended safe walking routes. "For students in elementary school, locate your school map and find your address. You may then follow the blue arrows to the school." Following the blue arrows takes on a whole new meaning now, doesn't it?I only heard back from Kristen Linfante.
Elaine Gillen
Dear Ms Gillen,
I am not sure where you heard that I am on a leave of absence. You are mistaken. I am not. Please check the commission meeting video of January 5 where a clear explanation of my circumstances is available. I am facing a serious medical issue which *may* cause me to have to miss some meetings. For the sake of transparency, I wanted to make this known in the event that I do, in fact, miss any meetings. That is all.
As always, thanks for your good wishes, especially during this very challenging time.
Best regards,
Kristen Linfante
Commissioner, Ward 3
Of course I would hear from Kristen. Where is everyone else? Why isn't anyone calling her on this? Is there a freaking hunt or isn't there? Instead of condoning Kristen's efforts to terrorize parents with a secret cull, why didn't any commissioners put her on the spot during the discussion session? Was/Is there a hunt in reality or just in Kristen's mind? Why didn't Kristen say that, as school board liaison, she had it covered with the school district? No, I am mistaken. How did I ever get the idea that Kristen was taking a leave of absence? Why are our leaders putting up with this behavior?
Steve Feller was quoted in the Trib as saying, "There is no requirement for property owners to notify or consult with municipal officials about hunting.” Should property owners notify the school district, in order to update safe walking routes? Obviously, it isn't exciting school board president Larry Lebowitz and it is nothing for Timmy to tweet about. Mt. Lebanon is totally insane. Welcome to Mt. Looneytown.

Catch-22!
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22_(logic)
Private landowners organize a private hunt so they don't need to abide by the 50 yard safety zone.
Trouble is no one needs to be notified of the hunt, not even the game commission, to check on whether the restrictions are being followed by the private landowners because they don't need to notify anyone.
Santoni reports:
"Travis Lau, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, said his agency wouldn't have to be notified about hunting on private land."
And
"Lau said there normally is a 50-yard safety zone around all occupied structures where bowhunters can't hunt, and a 150-yard zone for schools and playgrounds, but if a property owner gives permission for hunting, the 50-yard buffer can be waived.
If enough contiguous property owners give permission, they collectively can create an area where hunting can legally occur."
So who checks if enough contiguous property owners gave permission, Mr. Lau? You don't have to be notified.
The municipality doesn't have to be notified either.
"“The sole authority to establish parameters regulating where, when and in what manner it is legal to hunt rests with the (state) Game Commission. ... There is no requirement for property owners to notify or consult with municipal officials about hunting.”"
This is like some kind of Abbott & Costello Comedy Skit!
The PGC states that only 25% of the hunted deer are reported. So how do they know that the other 75% were actually killed? Further, are they saying 75% of deer hunted in PA are killed by hunters who refuse to comply with the laws? Oh... that's great news for Mt Lebo where we have suddenly become a mecca for collaborative neighborhood wide hunts.
And to think we need a permit for a block party...
11:20, it sounds to me like it's based on the proverbial "honor system." Makes you feel much safer now, doesn't it?
Nick M.
This is my take. I think this neighborhood hunt is just another fabricated lie by Commissioner Linfante. Her lies keep getting bigger and more outrageous. The other Commissioners know she's lied continuously in the past, but have never called her on her lies, or asked her to present facts to substantiate her statements. Her entire deer killing campaign is totally disingenuous. The other Commissioners know it, but they've gone along with it, and so have become complicit in her lies.
I don't think any neighborhood could have put a deer killing program together in the time since Mt. Lebanon canceled its bow hunting program, and during the Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Years holiday season. It just doesn't add up. Plus, I'm sure that if there were hunters observed on any Mt. Lebanon streets, and dragging dead deer to their trucks, that there would have been calls to the police department. In addition, there would also likely be wounded deer running into yards, and residents calling the police. Furthermore, I'm guessing that these residents would have called the Pa Game Commission with questions to make sure that they were in compliance with all state safety zone regulations.
That's my take. If I'm right, then what happens next? Does Commissioner Linfante pay any price for lying, and causing this major controversy?
Likely not, i.e. it doesn't seem that any of the Commissioners, Feller (the Municipal Manager), or the police department cares. Commissioner Linfante is making a laughing stock out of the Commission, and striping it of its integrity and professionalism, and no one seems to care.
I think the Tribune-Review comments by Municipal Manager Feller and Deputy Chief Aaron Lauth were totally irresponsible, and inviting vigilante gardeners and outside hunters to do what ever they please in Mt. Lebanon, i.e. the municipality and police department don't seem to care.
OK, we understand the Pa Game regulations, which in my opinion are reckless and an accident waiting to happen, but couldn't Feller and Lauth have said something like they would hope that residents would notify them, so that they could put out a community alert, and notify the school district, so that parents could take all possible precautions to warn and protect their families and children.
In addition, Travis Lau, the spokesman for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, said his agency wouldn't have to be notified about hunting on private land either.
So who the hell is responsible for making sure that vigilante residents are in compliance with state safety zone regulations?
Who in Mt. Lebanon is stepping up to protect the majority of residents and their children from hunting and the use of lethal weapons in our neighborhoods?
Who's on first, what's on second, and I don't know's on third.
1:01 AM, I understand what you are saying, but here is my fear. If there is such a hunt occurring on a street, neighbors would be cheering at the sight of dead deer being dragged to trucks, not that they would be reporting it.
It is real easy to chalk this up as another one of Kristen's lies, but go back in the Commission meeting minutes and you will find a whole host of names who would support Kristen's fantasy. That's where you would see the "glee and rejoicing."
Does the PA Game Commission allow guns in private kills? Where is the troll cop when you need him?
Elaine
Not only block party permits, but read this one, 11:50 PM. In Chapter XI of the Administrative Code:
102.14 No picnic shall take place at any Park picnic shelter without the written permission of the Manager or his designated representative.
We must shovel our sidewalks within 24 hours or we can get cited. If we have health issues, we now know that we can get dispensation from the commissioners.
Do hunting neighborhoods get free block party permits too? Certainly they are entitled to regular garbage collection. Those pesky garbage cans would just be considered as hunter harassment. Blowing, empty plastic milk containers spook the deer.
Elaine
Why does this all have to be a conspiracy? How about this scenario:
Mt. Lebanon resident is a bow hunter and has a tag for Allegheny County. He was unsuccessful when at the county gamelands so still has the tag. There are two neighbors within 50 yards of his backyard and he asks them if they would mind if he shot a deer in his backyard. They say "sure, whatever" because they don't have kids and don't like their flowers being eaten or whatever. The hunter spends a few evenings on his back porch with a bow in his lap waiting for deer to come by. None do, so he gives up because it's now getting really cold.
In this case, there was "private hunting" in Mt. Lebanon, but no one noticed besides the two neighbors. One of the two neighbors is friends with Kristen and knowing they both feel the same way about deer she tells Kristen that her neighbor has been hunting in their yards for deer.
Commissioner Linfante's comments are strange. She says no state or municipal officials were notified. But wasn't she notified? Is she not an official?
The Trib article says a neighbor told her of several property owners reaching an agreement to permit hunting, but somehow the actual streets or neighborhood were not discussed. Who has conversations like that?
Elaine challenged her on whether the hunting report was hearsay and Commissioner Linfante says it's not hearsay. So if it's not hearsay, Commissioner Linfante has substantiated the hunting report or the plan for the private hunting. How do you substantiate that residents are planing on hunting or have hunted without knowing the neighborhood, street, or persons involved? Saying she doesn't know the street and saying her report was not hearsay seem completely incongruous with each other.
8:44 AM, go back to Kristen's email #2. The Trib's Matt Santoni and I were on Kristen's email. Kristen wrote that because of MY persistence, Matt and I would be punished and Kristen would not pursue names for us.
All this makes good fodder on Kristen's Facebook account. Kristen, "I heard the news from a neighbor."
Elaine
Commissioner Linfante (paraphrased summary): No officials were notified. I was notified.
I have substantiated the reports of hunting or the plan for hunting. I don't know where the hunting took place. But, I know they did it legally, safely, and discreetly and nobody knew it was happening.
I'm not going to look into the activity further, because it's not relevant to me. I brought it up to the Commission because the activity was relevant to me.
I'm not going to tell you or look into who or where there was hunting because it's none of my business. Because their activity was really none of my business, I announced it in a public meeting that was recorded and subsequently broadcast.
And finally, the hunters don't have to identify themselves even though hunting in Mt. Lebanon is ridiculous and poses a safety hazard because...USA!USA!USA!
She is a liar. The community knows it from past experience with her. The Commission knows it from past experience with her. None of it adds up because it really isn't ever true what she says.
I don't think the Commission needs to call her out on it. We all know.
They just need to gauge their decisions on her comments with a grain of salt. From what I see they do-watch the video.
I wouldn't waste my time on this Commissioner and her ramblings.
Have WATER? Over here in Sunset Hills we don't and was wondering if anyone knew why? I have a feeling that our PIO is off to Florida so a LeboAlert is not coming.
Elaine, 7:40 AM you may be right. I keep on vacillating if this could be true or not. What's worse, Commissioner Linfante lying about residents hunting and creating this controversy, or covering up residents hunting and putting Mt. Lebanon's residents and children at risk? Doesn't she have an obligation to make sure that any hunting in Mt. Lebanon is in compliance with the legal safety zones?
There is a water main break at MTL and Castle Shannon Blvds. Just announced on KDKA.
Excellent note 11:50 about the irony of needing a permit for a block party. HAHA!
I love the flashing sign on Washington Road about getting "nailed" this holiday but there is nothing to inform residents that apparently a bunch of rogue William Tell wannabes are trolling around the community. Hey Mt. Lebanon residents, better watch out or you are likely to get "skewered"!
This place is over the top.
8:25 you scenario is plausible, but it is questionable as to whether it would have been legal if the two properties are close to Linfante's address.
The lots to her left and right according to the county assessment map are at a maximum 61 feet wide (20.3 yards) and with the house (a structure) neither would have the required 50 yard free zone.
Now apparently the Game Commission can waive that free zone restriction, but to waive it they'd have to know about the hunt.
So the question remains, if the hunt did or is ongoing - was/is it legal?
Suddenly libertarian Linfante doesn't want to know!
This is interesting, could we demand that the municipality file a class action against Linfante's "private" hunters.
According to Santori's report: "Lau said there normally is a 50-yard safety zone around all occupied structures where bowhunters can't hunt, and a 150-yard zone for schools and playgrounds, but if a property owner gives permission for hunting, the 50-yard buffer can be waived."
A moving vehicle by any definition is indeed an "occupied structure." The hunter(s) would need to get the occupants permission to hunt near their structure - the vehicle.
Anybody driving on Roycroft get asked for permission?
Is there any property on Roycroft with the necessary 50 yard free zone?
Is there any one homeschooling in the hunt area? Then the hunter would need 150 yards of free zone.
Think a car isn't a structure? Think again.
http://www.carfax.com/blog/structural-damage-101/
"One of the most important safety features of your car is the one you can’t see – the car’s structure*. A car’s structure is the foundation on which the entire car is built; therefore your safety depends on it. Vehicles used to have a body-on-frame construction, which were built for durability; today most vehicles are built on an integrated unibody structure that is built for safety, but is not the most durable. This can be an issue because if a vehicle has been in a moderate to severe accident, its structure could be severely compromised."
Gotcha Linfante! Your neighbor's hunt isn't legal. If the state can find a woman guilty of interferring with hunters because she simply told them not to hunt on her property, then it has to recognize an occupied car as a structure.
http://www.envirothonpa.org/documents/7_generalhuntingregulations.pdf
Note in the above link the section on -
"Road Hunting - It is unlawful to 1) hunt from a vehicle (weren't the hunters in the previous MTL cull doing this?) 2) shoot at wildlife on a public road or right-of-way open to public travel..."
A lot of MTL properties have right-of-ways that could reduce the size of their private property available to hunting. If you have telephone/cable lines running near your lot, that is a right-of-way for instance.
So a block party permit would help with the private neighborhood hunts; they could keep the cars off the street. Problem is that Roycroft can't have one because the fake classification system of streets lists Roycroft as a collector and fake collector streets have been banned from having block parties because it is just much too dangerous.
Not kidding.
Wait. What? Roycroft has block parties every year.
Elaine
The link to banned block party streets is included in the following webpage:
http://mtlebanon.org/index.aspx?nid=328
It is just too dangerous to have a block party on these streets. Therefore, I am not sure how the neighborhood hunts are going to be car-free.
This place sometimes has the darnedest dilemmas.

Speaks to landowners giving permission to hunters on the property and liability issues. Anonymous.
https://pennstatelaw.psu.edu/_file/aglaw/Landowners_Liability_for_Land_Users.pdf
I think Commissioner Linfante and her friend's private deer hunting program finally exposes the true motivation behind their deer killing agenda, i.e. deer eating their tulips, and not car-deer collisions.
"she [Commissioner Linfante] said the residents' action likely stemmed from the municipality's failure to get its own culling program off the ground."
Right - residents were so concerned about car-deer collisions, that they launched their own back yard deer killing program.
Car-deer collisions and Lyme disease "resident safety" were always the phony reasons Commissioner Linfante presented at Commission meetings, playing to the video cameras, and in press interviews, but everyone that knew the truth, knew that was totally disingenuous, and was just a bait and switch strategy. Commissioner Linfante was the appointed spokesperson for the exclusive ex-Commissionettes Deer Haters Club. The ex-Commissionettes are a group of lovely ladies, i.e. Barbara Logan, Bonnie VanKirk, and Carolyn Byham, that are dedicated to turning Mt. Lebanon into a shooting gallery, a private hunting club, and an inhumane slaughter house, to protect their tulips and hostas.
Ex-Commissioner Barbara Logan reveals their true motivations in her own words.
"My shouting and screaming at them does nothing," she said.
"My concern is that if, or when, this plan happens, many of us will be disappointed because our deer are not in an area where we can cull them," said Commissioner Barbara Logan.
"I'm afraid that once we start culling them, they'll lay low until it is over,"added Logan
Ms. Logan said she understood that some people are upset at the thought of killing deer, but whether they die from old age, disease, hunger or hunting, "One way or another, the deer are going to die."
I think I may know the street. I believe there are several private drives in Lebo that are on property that meet the criteria. The outdated 150 yard, but the new 50 yard buffer for bow hunting has and will take place. The hunters by pa game law r required to follow the blood trail. This is how you may or will end up with a wounded deer in your yard. The hunter must obtain your permission to enter your property and permission to finish the job via more arrows or a knife to the throat. Sorry to be graphic but the hunters will do this.
No hunter better come on my property with a lethal weapon. I view that as a threat to bodily harm and will act accordingly if needed.
If hunting is your sport, good for you. Don't come near my house to do it.
I suspect the Valleyview/Osage area. The deer/car collisions in Virginia Manor are outrageous. So are the sizes of the lots. Another street where the deer/car collisions are out of control is Pueblo. It is quite possible that there is deer killing in that area since one family owns most of the street.
Elaine
Here's why Linfante needs to go!
She took an oath of office to uphold the laws of PA and MTL.
Now think about this carefully.
A neighbor tells her that someone or ones are hunting deer in Mt. Lebanon.
They don't, supposedily, tell her on which street(s).
So Linfante, established that are the restrictions in MtL and state codes and laws are being met even though she has no idea where the hunt is occurring!
She doesn't talk to the chief, other commissioners, solicitor or PIO, but she somehow knows this is a legal hunt.
Three things I think are possible.
1. She's part of it and therefore lying to everyone whether the hunt is legal of not.
2. She's derelict in her oath to uphold the rules and laws if MTL and PA. Remember she doesn't know where this hunt is occurring supposedily so how does she know if its legal.
3. She's making up stories, in essence lying to her constituents in an attempt to get her deer culling accepted.
Let's try this scenario-
I'm Linfante's neighbor, I tell her somebody is brewing beer in Mt. Lebanon. Linfante says that's nice, there's nothing illegal about that- it's none of my or anybody elses business.
Except the neighbor fails to divulge the specs of the brewing such as quantity or the fact that the brewer is selling growlers to high school kids out of the trunk of their car.
Still none of her or our business???
My opinion, love to hear what others thinks.
Elaine, there weren't that many deer/car related accidents in the initial accident reports. Are you now saying there were more than reported???
Just think... if only the Turf project's NPDES permit was denied, the crybaby sports dads could pool their money and their backyards to build a private lacrosse training facility to groom their little Jimmy McElroys for superstardom!
- Chazz Michael Michaels
The "private hunt" is a concoction of Linfibstein's imagination. Her narcissistic personality disorder prevents her from admitting defeat, so she made the whole story up in her effort to "win". It's as simple as that.
- Chazz
8:49am - now I think we're getting absurd. Should Kristen be assigned a special detective to investigate all of the things she may hear about from hunting deer to brewing beer? What if she finds out Elaine drove to a commission meeting - does she know for absolute certain that Elaine followed all of the traffic laws on the way to the meeting? Is she sure that Elaine wasn't texting on the way? Sounds like she should really investigate - after all far more pedestrians have been injured by cars in Mt. Lebanon than by rogue hunters!
Spot on, Chazz...
Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder as defined by DSM-5 include:
- Exaggerated self-appraisal.
- Goal-setting is based on gaining approval from others.
- Sees oneself as exceptional.
- Impairments in interpersonal functioning.
- Impaired ability to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
- Excessively attuned to reactions of others, but only if perceived as relevant to self.
- Intimacy: Relationships largely superficial and exist to serve self-esteem regulation.
- Mutuality constrained by little genuine interest in others' experiences and predominance of a need for personal gain.
- Grandiosity and feelings of entitlement, either overt or covert.
- Self-centeredness.
- Condescending toward others.
- Attention seeking.
- Excessive attempts to attract and be the focus of the attention of others; admiration seeking.
- Expects to be recognized as superior and special, without superior accomplishments.
- Expects constant attention, admiration and positive reinforcement from others.
- Envies others and believes others envy her.
- Is preoccupied with thoughts and fantasies of great success, enormous attractiveness, power, intelligence.
- Lacks the ability to empathize with the feelings or desires of others.
- Is arrogant in attitudes and behavior.
- Has expectations of special treatment that are unrealistic.
Sounds like certain a Roycroft Drive resident...
8:53 AM, that was sarcasm.
Elaine
8:49 AM, there is NOTHING that protects residents from commissioners like Kristen Linfante. She has to resign for her to go. She is like the bad tenant you can't evict. And I am NOT suggesting that residents take matters into their own hands for Kristen's removal from office. We are stuck with her until December 31, 2015.
Kristen thrives on all of this attention. That is what is really sick. There was no reason for her special request that was on the agenda. It was to gain as much sympathy as she could. She isn't the first commissioner to have health issues. The time to make that request would have been after she missed two regular meetings and realized that she was too sick to attend the third. Quietly and without fanfare. But no, now she tells me I am mistaken in an email that was to alert the school district of her irresponsible announcement of encouraging more residents to take matters into their own hands. She ended her email with more drama making a snarky comment, "As always, thanks for your good wishes, especially during this very challenging time. " Who does that? This was about private hunts on school district safe walking routes. Think about this. There is an AM kindergarten, a PM kindergarten, a break at lunch time, early dismissals, and 10:00 AM starts. Instead, I hear nothing from the school district and "All About Me" Linfante tells me I am mistaken.
Elaine
Elaine, January 9, 10:56 AM - You nailed it ! "There was no reason for her special request that was on the agenda. It was to gain as much sympathy as she could."
January 9, 8:49 AM - "Here's why Linfante needs to go!" You nailed it!
11:48 AM, so that people aren't confused by your comment, I deleted my 10:56 AM comment and combined it with another and resubmitted it at 11:34 AM.
Elaine
January 9, 10:51 AM - I think behavior is more consistent with a Narcissistic Sociopath.
10:44, thanks for your opinion, after thinking about it I'm sorry but I'm sticking with my initial thought.
You see you and I are talking about two different scenarios.
In mine and in Linfante's residents are engaging in unusual activities for our community.
We have local codes prohibiting shooting, even a BB gun in our community. Sure they are supeceeded by state laws but if you heard someone was hunting wouldn't you be the slightest bit curious? Wouldn't you at the very least ask where?
As for my fictious bootlegger, I might simply ask the bearer of the news- 'does he do it a lot?' 'Have you tasted it?'
As for your example, Elaine driving to a meeting isn't that rare. It's not rare for anybody so why would it be questioned. Now if Kristen knew Elaine or anybody else to be a drinker or speeder, hey I have no problem with her suggesting to the chief that they may want to patrol Elaine's route a little more.
You see 10:44, what if Linfante's hunt is Happening on a street within a 150 yards of a school or park. She said she doesn't know where it's happening, so how does she know its legal? Could it be the hunters don't know they're too close and are doing it by mistake?
Elaine I thought you were being sarcastic about the number of accidents but wasn't sure.
@8:53.
One thing you're are exactly on target with-- we're stuck with Linfante until her term expires.
We know the commission will not censure or start ethics violation proceedings.
10:51 AM There are three women living on Roycroft that meet those criteria. You named one, another is also from CA and a soulmate of Linfante's; and, the third has been a school board member and of the same political party. "Birds of a feather flock together" - what the flock !
10:44, a question for you!
Tell me please, how does Linfante determine this is a legal hunt and thetefore not warrant some investigation?
All these personal attacks on Mrs. Linfante are in poor taste.

January 9, 2015 at 12:44 PM posted - "You named one, another is also from CA and a soulmate of Linfante's; and, the third has been a school board member and of the same political party."
12.44 PM, please don't make this a partisan issue. I'm a Democrat, and the only Commissioner I support is Kelly Fraasch, and she's not my Commissioner. I STRONGLY oppose the other Democrat Commissioner's on turf and deer culling, and none of my Democrat friends support the current Commissioners (except for Fraasch) or the old elitist Dems, i.e. Barbara Logan, Bonnie VanKirk, etc., who are trying to hold on to political power in the Mt. Lebanon Democratic Committee. They don't represent our views.
I evaluate each candidate and/or Commissioner on their position on the issues, and vote for the ones that align with my views. I supported Elaine when she ran for office, and I liked Raja too. I also supported Dan Miller and Matt Smith, and I would advise them to cut their ties with Commissioner Linfante and the old elitist Democrat power brokers, or they will damage their own political ambitions.
BTW, ex-Commissioner Carolyn Byham (Republican) is one of the most proactive deer haters who wants to turn Mt. Lebanon into a shooting gallery.
So this is not a partisan issue. It just looks that way, because all the current Commissioners are Democrats.
John Ewing,
Linfante is deserving of much worse than a verbal beat-down on this blog. You can remain silent on the sidelines if you so choose, but Linfante has caused catastrophic and irreversible damage to myself, others in the community and the community as a whole. I'm glad you're happy with the status quo, but your time to demonstrate leadership in MTL has since passed and a real fight has been engaged to take back the reins of our community from the nightmarish egomaniacs that are currently in the driver's seat. You can join us... or you can leave a wormy comment on Elaine's blog every now and then. You're choice.
-Anonymous, but you know where to find me.
John Ewing,
Is it in poor taste that Hitler invaded Poland? Should the Polish have politely kept quiet? After all, we wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, especially an extremely sensitive narcissist who has been nothing short of a Trojan Horse decimating our community.
Thank you for your support, 3:24 PM. You are absolutely correct. I think it is about some very wealthy ladies who are used to getting their own way and have the ability to take matters into their own hands.
Elaine
Very few of the comments are personal attacks on Commissioner Linfante.
Most have been about her honesty.
First she tells us, a neighbor told her about the hunt, but she doesn't know any more about it.
Then she tells us it's a legal hunt. How she determine that? How does she even know if the hunter has a hunting license? She claims she doesn't even know which street the hunt occurred on?
Besides you're a good one to throw stones. Does "Dead-beat Athletic Supporters" ring a bell?
Mr. Ewing, let's play a little game to determine if the criticism of Commissioner is justified.
I'm your neighbor and I've just told you there is hunting going on on an unnamed street in Mt. Lebanon.
Now with that information you tell us here if it's a legal hunt or not.
Keep in mind the email exchange between the Commissioner and Elaine.
After you respond with your assessment, I'll give you the street name.
Then we'll see whether you were right or wrong.
Fair, Mr. Ewing?

Where in heavens,, did the Democratic Party ever find Ms. Linfante?? I live in her district and when she was running for office her campaign manager, Rob Papke,came to my door several times and painted a much different picture then her behavior at the Comm. Meetings. ..She comes off as very rude, arrogant and very very snarky to resident comments..
10:35, they found her because she was very vocal in a group that wanted the school district to build a $150 million high school.
For those paying attention, her behavior was readily apparent as she heckled and sniickered at Elaine Gillen while she spoke to the school board and how she supported the "What the Kluck" protest of residents.
Perhaps you should query your neighbors as to how they voted this woman into office and how we prevent a like candidate ever being elected again.
Unfortunately, Ward 3 voted her in on us until her term expires. If that is your opinion of her, get involved so it doesn't happen again.
Check out the candidates, pay attention, don't vote on a familiar name or because the PTA or some other organization told you too.
Once again Commissioner Linfante, because apparently it isn't sinking in... how do you know this rumored hunt is perfectly legal?
How about the other commissioners. You don't have a care in the world of whether someone is hunting deer in Mt. Lebanon even though you took an oath to uphold the laws of the land?
Funny who says what about Kristen Linfante in this old Blog Lebo post. Town Hall Meeting Questioned
Elaine
We might throw Ms. Linfante's words - "If the intent is to "make information available to the general public," why isn't the general public invited?""
If her intent was to inform the public of the private hunt, why is she telling Elaine that it is none of her business?
