You like to distort the facts. I have voted against a lot of things the 2 mayors I served with have presented. You have to learn how the budget process works. First, the mayor presents the budget to council and we are able to make amendments to it and then vote. By the City Home Rule Charter, if we fail to adopt a budget by December 15th, the mayor's original balanced budget will automatically become the City's official budget for the following year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530211268728580625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-2989327993281870352016-04-12T17:13:16.697-04:002016-04-12T17:13:16.697-04:00You missed the whole point about good intentions, ...You missed the whole point about good intentions, didn't you, Molovinsky?<br /><br />Yes, you did.ironpigpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792492001296361796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-74938922796905795732016-04-12T13:24:04.998-04:002016-04-12T13:24:04.998-04:00What is there to like about men who colluded to ov...What is there to like about men who colluded to over charge Allentown citizens to burn their trash for over $100 per ton?<br /><br />We are just waiting for the FBI to let us know what they found with the failed Delta Thermo Energy scam led by Marcel Groen. <br /><br />Disgusting.

I actually like Julio, I do think his intentions are very good. I also think he got sucked into the machine and used... he's now trying to recover what can be left of his political career in the wake of Pawlowski's demise. I commend him for writing this response. He's right... constant antagnoistic behavior doesn't actually net any gains. At the same time making sure we aren't looking at the growth and development in Allentown with Rose Colored glasses is ALSO imperative... noone is flocking to the city... yes we've made progress, but new businesses are shuttering regularly because the customer base of middle/upper class isn't here to support them (Pop-Mart, American Hairlines, Shula, Tony Lukes and a slew of others that aren't even you the radar yet). <br />~Gina Blevinsanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704856854161684337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-88921671794771951172016-04-11T17:42:21.256-04:002016-04-11T17:42:21.256-04:00I am just glad to see that the rubber stamp appara...I am just glad to see that the rubber stamp apparatchik Guridy can spell Mayor Pawlowski's name correctly.
