Appointments to boards and authorities are typically agenda items that draw little attention in Mt. Lebanon.
This was not the case, however, at the commission meeting April 14, at which former commissioner David Humphreys was appointed to the Mt. Lebanon Library Board.
The appointment came despite protests from residents and library supporters who said Humphreys' past actions as a commissioner indicates a lack of support for increased funding for the library.

One can only surmise that this was political back-scratching. Why the three commissioners who voted for this appointment chose to ignore considerable bi-partisan concern stated at the commission meeting, through this blog, and through emails is beyond me.
In light of there being no clear justification for Mr. Humphrey's appointment in light of considerable concern, and the bad blood established by Mr. Humphreys with the Library Board and Administration, I can only conclude that this is a favor repaid to Mr. Humphreys for his endorsement letter during these Commissioners' campaigns.
It's a shame our library is going to pay a price for other people's favors.
A total slap in the face to all of us who love the Mt. Lebanon Public Library. I will never support any of the 3 (and I did in 2007) who supported this abomination. I am a proud Republican, but this is highly disappointing.
