How do we find this out? What's Mr. Browne's angle will he be hired on by Mr. Reilly after he leaves office?Jojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05435988242156196945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-74902591738832820962016-07-20T12:31:43.281-04:002016-07-20T12:31:43.281-04:00In the federal indictments served, there is names ...In the federal indictments served, there is names as well as public official #3 who and what subordanant to this circus is public official #1 and #2?!<br />Thanx for asking!Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616677843880436551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-42254070126715533562016-07-20T11:25:26.071-04:002016-07-20T11:25:26.071-04:00And guess who owns the buildings?

Browne is slipping these amendments through the legislature without objection, probably though the good ole boy network of don't rain on my parade, and I won't rain on yours. <br /><br />Is Lehigh Country going to do anything? I doubt it also. As long as the money flows into the NIZ like water in a river, Lehigh County isn't going to do anything. <br /><br />And neither is Ed for as long as he is in office. Nor his successor either.<br /><br />And the concrete keeps being poured and the steel keeps going up Jamie Keltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453782518805745205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-4990675171058576072016-07-20T05:46:15.941-04:002016-07-20T05:46:15.941-04:00geoff@5:03, my writing has been described as succ...geoff@5:03, my writing has been described as succinct, but there are actually many layers to this legal onion. lawyers have told me that it is <i>beyond</i> extraordinary to retrofit a law to conform with someone's legal defense. however, if the county has the will to challenge remains to be seen. as for the legislative body signing on, i don't if any members even knew of its inclusion.<br /><br /> IMO, we are not well served on any level of government. <br /><br /> michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-72314671986232800612016-07-20T05:03:21.205-04:002016-07-20T05:03:21.205-04:00It would be interesting to hear from a legal type ...It would be interesting to hear from a legal type about what sort of standing/approach Lehigh County could use to challenge the assessment provisions. I hope there is one.<br /><br />Unfortunately, these horses have long since left the barn, and if a legislative body is willing to sign on to the policy preferences of one member to get a budget done, there seems little that could be done.<br /><br />Browne's quotes--both in this article and the one today on the ANZIDA/city relationship--indicate that Browne himself seems to believe he's quite the expert on local/county level taxation and governance. Not to mention how many hotel rooms should be in each municipality of Pennsylvania.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393136720033021652noreply@blogger.com
