I noticed a comment on the Lehigh Valley Ramblings blog that indicates it was left by Easton Mayor Sal Panto. The comment was left on a blog entry about the salt shortages in many of the Northampton County communities.

The comment reads:

“Anonymous said…

Sal Panto, Mayor of Easton

For the record, we have had ample supply and we lent 100 tons to Palmer Township 2 weeks ago which they have replaced and on Friday I approved lending road salt to the Borough of West Easton. We will always do our best to help our neighbors.

I only just noticed the comment early this morning, so I have no information regarding the amount we received, or how it will be repaid.

I’ll try to update the information today.

It was a nice gesture on the part of Mayor Panto and the city of Easton to help us out.

Thank you, Sal.

I take back half the things I’ve said about your parking meter fees and times.

We are being provided salt by Easton. It is on an as needed basis, according to one Councilman and is paid for by the ton. A plan for our own storage facility for road salt is still active.
