    Some of the comments are really disrespectful. I knew this young man as a child, properly trained. His mom worked at former First Penn Bank and later Banco and his father worked at BVIEC for most his life. In fact, he could have been seen making sure the electricity parking lot was spick and span even though he had an administrative position. The young man is not one on a political ladder and hand in corruption going on as if he is the big one. Do well Mr. Scatliffe. Hold your head high and do your job with integrity
