Montco commissioners clash over accusations of pay-to-play politics
NORRISTOWN >> Montgomery County Commissioners Joe Gale and Val Arkoosh sparred at a recent meeting after Gale accused Arkoosh of continuing a tradition of “pay-to-play politics” in Montgomery County by catering real estate decisions to benefit her campaign donors.
Arkoosh, the board’s chairwoman and a Democrat, categorically denied the allegation, saying Gale, the only Republican on the three-member governing body, doesn’t have any evidence to support his accusations and doesn’t understand the decision-making process.
