First Weldon, then Crego — is Barrar next?
It was kind of hard to miss, former Penn-Delco school board president Keith Crego doing the perp walk on the 11 o’clock news, his attorney crying foul because he wasn’t allowed to surrender himself away from the prying eyes of the TV camera.
Obviously, I know that Crego is innocent before proven guilty — this is America, after all. But I also know a few more things, too. Crego was the VP of the Aston Republican Party and identified himself as state Rep. Steve Barrar’s campaign manager in 2004 when Crego was at his full power — and saw himself ultimately replacing Barrar in the state house. And while I did a pretty good job of shooting myself in the foot in Aston — having totally misread the township — Crego’s non-stop whisper campaign, which basically amounted to “Mike’s really fat and dresses funny” didn’t help much either. So, I can’t describe myself as a Crego fan.
