When Bernie O'Hare
posted the other day that
Some Businesses Matter was looking for someone to join Steve Thode to debate Hailstone and Fleck on the NIZ, I almost raised my hand. There was a time when Michael Schlossberg used to ask me to come on the show. I always said no; Truth is, I'd rather sit here, and opine on my schedule. Since Iannelli is essentially the third person on the
pro side, it is not inappropriate to add a third chair for the side
against.* Anyway, if they want to balance out the show with someone who was party to the displaced merchant's point of view, I will rent a tie and jacket.

Bernie O'Hare will be on opposing side with Steve Thode
UPDATE: I have been invited by
Business Matters to take Bernie O'Hare's place. Michael Fleck, representing the NIZ with Sara Hailstone, refused to appear with Bernie.
UPDATE: I have been informed that Sara Hailstone will NOT attend, and is being replaced by Jeff Barber, local mortgage broker and NIZ supporter.
MM, I want you to come and hope you can break out a jacket and tie.

ReplyDeleteCowards!
Michael, I know Jeff Barber quite well. He is a good "kid", loves Allentown (his Hometown) but has his priorities all messed up because he has adamantly supported the Center City Arena location from the beginning. We have had some very heated debates on this subject, whenever I see him.HA!
ReplyDeleteYou will enjoy the give and take of tomorrow night's taping. Stand your ground.....PJF
So the city officials won't face the only guy who has a full knowlege of the issue. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteunbelievable that thousands of people don't know about this.
