Pawlowski has already said he wants to bulldoze Queen City Airport to build something he 'hopes' will bring more revenue to Allentown. Well, the Airport Authority is a regional one whose mission is to represesnt the people of the 'region' not one city. It's time to pass laws preventing county execs from loading the boards with their friendly local pols. Perhaps an issue for the next tea party?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-41336763446820090022010-01-17T11:12:30.937-05:002010-01-17T11:12:30.937-05:00lvci, yep, seems to be the same airport, except t...lvci, yep, seems to be the same airport, except the parking rate is higher at lehigh valley internationalmichael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-33774349721352913772010-01-17T10:39:45.909-05:002010-01-17T10:39:45.909-05:00I case my last remark went over you head, here'...I case my last remark went over you head, here's the part I was referring to..<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waBBGcO-pYo" rel="nofollow">"The Langoliers"</a><br />:-)LVCIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034343739402945565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-89622419383781365322010-01-17T10:30:21.623-05:002010-01-17T10:30:21.623-05:00LVIA:

Perhaps we should take it away from an "authority," whatever that is. It just seems like a way to avoid accountability. What do you think of a major business buying it and running it according to sound market principles.West End Bettynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-60142117516954379342010-01-16T17:59:04.474-05:002010-01-16T17:59:04.474-05:00betty, i don't ever recall there being just on...betty, i don't ever recall there being just one carrier. my main criticism is that they keep expanding and remodeling the airport, but with no increase in volume of flights or passengers.michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-39141483142161629412010-01-16T17:22:37.598-05:002010-01-16T17:22:37.598-05:00Mr. Molovinski you are not a naysayer and misinfor...Mr. Molovinski you are not a naysayer and misinformant. You, like Sarah Palin, tell the truth and stand up for us true Americans. Just like Polish Eddie I used to fly out of ABE when Allegheny Airlines was the sole carrier. It worked pretty well then.

The current administration lives in a perpetual state of denial.<br /><br />We made some serious mistakes in the 70's and 80's. Luckily we can still correct some of these in the parks and the post office etc.<br /><br />Instead we prefer to let our history waste away.

I rejected a comment the other day claiming this was a negative blog, and I should look at things in a more positive light. This is a reality based blog, which often points things out before our officials are ready to concede that there is a problem."</em><br /><br />So far as I know, you are the first person to have written about this matter in any detail, either in the blogoshere or MSM. You are to be credited for that. <br /><br />Allentown resident Jay Goldstein has been the driving force that has galvanized Lehigh and Northampton County officials into examining the airport authority. He made his concerns known to Northampton County around 2 years ago. It resulted in a study that produced even more complaints than you mention. <br /><br />Since that time, both Cunningham and Stoffa have been replacing Airport Authority members with people who will ask questions. They also want to reduce the board and replace the leadership.<br /><br />One person can make a difference.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-70153783631779437782010-01-16T08:23:32.902-05:002010-01-16T08:23:32.902-05:00In Thursday's Morning Call front page story, M...In Thursday's Morning Call front page story, Mayor Pawlowski admits he has the city $3.2 Million in the red.
