He had one point to make and simply increased the volume when confronted by facts showing his argument to be weak. Unionsists should be ashamed, if indeed he speaks for them. I guess temporary jobs in a tough market are good, but they are just temporary. I really don't see the huge job payoff coming due to this development. <br /><br />Experience hosting this type of show qualified Tony Ianelli to herd cats.<br /><br />The good doctor could not really make his argument, with a format that allowed and even encouraged shouting. I would really like to hear a point/counterpoint format next time.<br /><br />Sy Traub? He seemed embarassed to be there, and as his previous public pronouncements indicate, he tries to compromise. He saw the absurdity of the format and disappeared at the 14 minute mark.<br /><br />What can anyone say about this Barber fellow? Mike- You can rest easy now, knowing that Mr. Barber let the cat out of the administration's bag when he compared an urban block, its business owners and especially the customer base with a deadly, malevolent disease. Nice fellow.<br /><br />He seemed to make the point you identified early on when you called them on the bus route strategy. <br /><br />VORAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-91079329800562712072012-05-08T08:11:39.829-04:002012-05-08T08:11:39.829-04:00I liked the age spot on Molovinsky's right che...I liked the age spot on Molovinsky's right cheek that looks like a permanent crying tear, as in the tears of a clown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-17118107066874678762012-05-08T08:03:23.725-04:002012-05-08T08:03:23.725-04:00Michael - You were the only one with any sense on ...Michael - You were the only one with any sense on the show. Thode was good but not his venue. Fleck is Pud goon and nothing more. Traub go to Florida and enjoy yourself, its time. It is nice to see Tony continue to be impressed with himself. But he needs to change the five & dime routine he uses. Times are a changin. The NIZ will never happen.

However, after your performance tonight on Business Matters I felt it was important to tell you how awful and disgusting you acted at the end of the show. Your comments that brought in Reilly's kids and grandkids were unnecessary, sensational and very much in bad taste. The fact that you brought them into the conversation demonstrates to me how weak your argument is and how low you will go to make your point. I don’t care if you disagree with someone, but when you bring kids into the argument, you show how weak you are and how weak your argument is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-86302174341780032682012-05-07T23:12:51.096-04:002012-05-07T23:12:51.096-04:00JB the fallen leader of LVHN profit care rides the...JB the fallen leader of LVHN profit care rides the back of the nicotine monkey to more riches at the cost of the children and economic disadvantaged of Allentown.

Depending on how much of the rest of the 130 acres is developed, it could easily reach several billion, especially if a few high profile corporations move into the NIZ.<br /><br />And don't forget, the arena is only Ed's first delusion.

Congratulations!<br /><br />In the interest of fairness, I must say, the interruptions and exaggerations went both ways. I would be shocked if Thode's figures of the cigarette component were correct. The numbers he used were VERY high. Same for his use of the word billions when describing the tax monies diverted into the NIZ. Right now, at least, this is an issue of millions, not billions.<br /><br />Fleck was often loud, but he is a large man, and this is a highly charged issue. He should NOT have attacked the surrounding municipalities as strongly as he did. After all, he's hopeful of their support.<br /><br />Both Traub and Barber were professional, although I'm sure Barber regrets describing the former block as a cancer. Those business people worked every bit as hard as he does.<br /><br />Tony presented an excellent program. There should be a Part II real soon with other guests.<br /><br />There's no doubt in my mind, the NIZ law is flawed and should be re-crafted. Even Fleck agreed to an extent. I say, delay the project. Air it out completely and legally. The Phantoms will wait.

DWINDLING EXCITEMENT over a brand new STADIUM? That cannot be! This is the PEOPLES' BASEBALL STADIUM so fans should be coming out in droves. Plus, aren't fans patronizing all the restaurants and bars near the new stadium such that Block E will be revitalized? No? That isn't happening? I'm truly sorry Minneapolis. You got the shaft and are going to get it again if a group of citizens fails to file a lawsuit against Dayton's plan to force-feed another stadium into your tax rolls."<br /><br />Now the MN state legislature is going to shove a $billion dollar stadium for the Vikings ( they will play 8 games a year in that stadium ) down our throats. Never mind there is a brand new stadium at the U of M not 2 miles away.<br /><br />Molovinsky, you and the people of Allentown have been very lucky to have avoided this new think government for as long as you have. These 'leaders' can think of no other use for a downtown except as an amusment park, bars, gambling, and stadiums - none of which support full time jobs with decent wages.doug_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060547193889193657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-70338276261098702802012-05-07T12:23:32.783-04:002012-05-07T12:23:32.783-04:00I can't believe you took a swipe at us for our...I can't believe you took a swipe at us for our House of Chen coverage, but failed to mention the ill-conceived musical tribute video: http://bit.ly/houseofchen<br />Talk about missing the 40 pound wonton in the room.
