HARRISBURG—It was recently said that someone went the distance to advise Eric Gregg to simmer down and go away quietly with his state job.
Apparently he’s not taking that well-intentioned advice.
Last Friday, Gregg, when speaking at a group of local public officials and other notables in Morello’s while fawning over some ex-SIU-C professor who wants to write a book about the area (conveniently leaving out the fact that the place is so overrun with corruption), he took yet another opportunity to publicly bash Disclosure, calling us “derelicts” in comparison to other media in the area (you know, the ones that barely disseminate enough news to fill a thimble, and never write about what’s really going on).
This was spoken just a few weeks after the incident that prompted the page 2 story about him to appear in the current edition, which is our next “Read the Lead” offering, “Former mayor loses it at intersection“:

HARRISBURG—The former mayor of the city of Harrisburg continues to show his true colors, and on the evening of Thursday, August 1, one of those colors came shining through in a very public way.
According to two separate sources who contacted Disclosure about it almost immediately after it happened, on that evening, Eric Gregg was seen and heard yelling at another motorist from his car at the intersection in front of Aldi’s as it enters U.S. Highway 45 in Harrisburg.
Gregg, the witnesses say, had his window rolled down and was shouting profanities at none other than community activist, John Stanley…who was shouting back, but apparently only because he couldn’t understand what Gregg was saying.
