Leave it to self-serving Jerry Green to make people pay $100 to his reelection efforts at a time when we should be celebrating the historic event of Obama's inauguration. $100 a ticket is a lot of money for those of us on the brink of financial survival in the wake of the Muhlenberg hospital closing. If I didn't spend $100 on my kids Christmas because I couldn't afford it, I'll be damned if I'll give money to Jerry Green. Thanks for closing my hospital, Jerry.
