Edward Boscola

In 1999, despite having no prior knowledge in the field, Northampton County executive, Glenn Reibman (D), personally nominated him to be his director of public works.

[2] Giesen and Darin Stofko, Lisa's brother and a local perennial candidate charged with aggravated assault in 1985, attended Boscola's appointment meeting to oppose him.

[7] His notice of resignation left the county scrambling to find a replacement, however, Boscola received praise from both Stoffa and Reibman for his work as director.

[8] Boscola worked at Brinjac until 2014 when Bethlehem mayor Robert Donchez (D) appointed him to his Technocratic cabinet as Director of Water and Sewer Resources replacing David Brong who would be named the city’s business administrator.

[14] In 2017, another sinkhole opened due to a water main burst, this time in downtown Bethlehem, shutting down portions of the city for weeks for repairs.

[16] Additionally, in 2022, the Lehigh Valley was placed under "Drought watch" due to lack of rain that summer and Boscola requested citizens reduce their water consumption by 10%.
