A book that tells the tale about Wilkes-Barre Area’s corruption, deception, taxation & tyranny

A struggle for safe, enduring neighborhood schools.

We can’t wait until there are no WB high schools and the tax burden is unsustainable.

As the title says, this book describes the travesty perpetrated by the now famous corrupt Wilkes-Barre Area School Board. Ask the Auditor General how the board is doing so far. Not so good!   

This book was released on August 12, 2019.

June 15, 2015 Press Release: Save Wilkes-Barre Schools (www.savewbschools.com) is a web site initiative launched recently to help persuade the WB School Board, which we the citizens elected, to reconsider their recent decision to destroy Wilkes-Barre's legacy high schools and the accompanying positive culture created by neighborhood schools. More will be released on the web site soon. 

Press Release: 

June 18, 2015

The Wilkes-Barre Area School Board, after going through the motions pretending it was not a Dunn Deal, on Wednesday June 10, 2015, finally announced their plans to build a brand spanking new high school. They not only made a poor decision, they made it worse by picking the smallest spot available where Coughlin now stands.

Hi

From my personal experience in the recent primary election, I am probably the wrong person to ask. Let me say that I think it is highly unlikely. Obviously, I did not think this when I entered the race.  

Brian Kelly's Crime Control & Safety Recommendations as Mayor Of Wilkes-Barre

The number one issue facing Wilkes-Barre is violent drug related crime. Our City has other issues such as affordability and cleanliness and some other concerns for sure; but violent gang-drug-thug crime is definitely number one. Bringing back the same people to work on this problem is definitely not going to solve the problem or a plan would already be on the table and the problem would be well on its way to being solved. This is not the case.

OUTSMARTING THE BAD GUYS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO WILKES-BARRE'S GANG PROBLEM!

Note to Press: This entire essay was written by Brian Kelly without a spokesperson. Feel free to use it in its entirety or quote any section within context.

Citing a crisis of lawlessness, former Wilkes-Barre Police Chief Tony George on Monday pressed Mayor Thomas Leighton to restore law and order to the City of Wilkes-Barre in the wake of one of its most vicious weekends to date. Tony George suggests massive saturation patrols as a part of a major answer to this past weekend of murder. Just one of the five candidates for Mayor was not consulted--the police chief who chose to retire in 2003, when things were getting tough. 

Neither Darlene Duggins-Magdalinski, George Brown, Frank Sorick nor Brian Kelly were consulted by the press, apparently because none have a police background. I would not claim that carrying a loaded forty-five calibre pistol on Eastern US Military Posts would qualify me as a gang crime expert. More than likely, Tony would not consider being a chief in 2003 as a major qualifications as a gang and drug crime expert either. Your call!

MAYOR AND COUNCIL HAVE FAILED IN THE PROPER POLICE RESPONSE TO OUR CRIME PROBLEM


Mayor Leighton; Councilmen Brown and George, both candidates for Mayor; and the rest of Council, have failed to act proactively when it comes to fighting crime. It seems everyone at City Hall--Mayor, Council and former Police Chief Tony George seem to think that saturation patrols are the answer to this crime wave of murder. According to the Mayor, they have been conducting saturation patrols for several years- and it has not been working. I am laying out a plan to fight for my City and my Neighbors.

The current Mayor and City Council members have failed in the proper police response to our crime problem, and more importantly, they have failed to professionalize the Police Department.  Police professionalism starts with the individual and it carries on into the officers' interactions with their family, friends, and the public. It is a shame that we are reading about some police officers going to jail while criminals are killing people in our streets!

Let's Go Publish! apologizes to the press and the public for our not being able to count as well as we should. Upon further examination, we found that in our internal list of Brian W. Kelly's books, we had included a book twice in his long list of books. This gave the impression that this new book is Mr. Kelly's 59th book. It is in fact, his 58th. 

We regret this mistake, but nobody more than Brian Kelly regrets it more as the author was expecting that his next book would be his 60th book. Now, he has to keep his pen out for at least a few more months.

        Three Important Initiatives
          to help Wilkes-Barre City

    Nothing in life worth having is easy!

Brian Kelly's plan for being Mayor of Wilkes-Barre City is embodied in his recommended actions for a safe city, an affordable city, and a clean city-- as part of WIlkes-Barre's Return to Glory!  Kelly has a set of plans and actions defined for all three of the goals needed to achieve a return to glory. All are spelled out on this campaign web site, www.briankellyformayor.com. In November, when Brian announced his intentions to run for Mayor at Keats' Pub in East End, Wilkes-Barre, he outlined a few specifics in each of these categories.

Good Morning Wilkes-Barre, PA

Thank Luzerne County.Org for most of this information:

Wilkes-Barre, located in the historic Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania, is the county seat of Luzerne County and the center of 30 contiguous municipalities, which as Greater Wilkes-Barre, comprise the cultural, social and economic metropolis of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

MAYORAL CANDIDATE BRIAN W KELLY DISCUSSES PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS

A. Citizen Action Groups.

Citizen Action Groups are commonly referred to as Community Organizations and in larger cities than Wilkes-Barre, there is a team of people working among them. The workers are known as Community Organizers. As I announced last week, community action groups will be a major part of my administration. I look forward to lending a helping hand to groups that have, as their primary goal, the betterment of the city as a whole as well as the people as a whole.

As of now, I do not see a pressing need to have a Chinese Action Group, or an Irish Action Group, or an African American Action Group, or a German Action Group or a Spanish Action Group. I am most interested however, in having a Safe City Action Group; an Affordable City Action Group, and a Clean City Action group. There may be others needed as we become successful in tackling the most basic needs of the city.

When we have made progress on these three major goals of my campaign, if we have believe we have a racial concern in the city, we will address it internally first. We will then seek input from the citizens at large. This is a city for all citizens of all races, creeds, and color, and our objective is to treat all citizens even handedly.

In the recent election, the grey haired brigade stood fast and voted to help put America back on the path of our founding. This email came by my desk and it helps in giving us the right perspective of the world in which we live and it offers a lesson to millennials to not write off the members of this brigade. It also suggests the grey brigade, more than anyone in government, has the backs of the young. You are our sons and daughters and our nephews and nieces, our students and friends. We simply love you and we are old enough to help protect you even though you think you need none.

Here is the email:

Thank you for supporting my campaign for Mayor of the City of Wilkes-Barre, PA.

The number one issue facing Wilkes-Barre is violent drug related crime. Our City has other issues such as affordability and cleanliness and others; but violent crime is definitely number one. Bringing back the same people to work on this problem is definitely not going to solve the problem or a plan would already be on the table and the problem would be well on its way to being solved. This is not the case.

Lace Or Shanty-- Hoi Polloi or Hoity Toity

All immigrants have had major issues coming to America. There was no road paved in gold, which they could follow.  There was no road in fact, leading to a sure supply of food for their families.  They had heard and believed their lot would be better in the New World, America. So they came despite no roads paved in gold or caviar. Yet, in the end, all immigrants from years back at least, embraced America and loved to become Americans and they found their place. It is this stock which bred the country we know simply as America. The stock for the melting pot consisted of many types of immigrants. The Irish were just one variety that melted in.  

As the Irish were immigrating to America, like most newcomers in this new strange land, most were poorer than dirt. As ship after ship came to America from overseas, the Irish got numerous enough to form various sections, which today might be called ghettos and they lived in small homes that were not more than shanties. Some chicken coops might have been larger than the first homes of these immigrants.
