"The negotiation of ANIZDA's share of the tax revenues versus the landlords', I think, is private at this point until we do it publicly."<br /><br /><br />I love how "landlords'" is a plural possessive. What other landlords are included in this executive session's agenda??? NONE!<br /><br />How did Reilly get to be the golden child in Allentown? How did he get this deal?? The shenanigans involved in Allentown's NIZ funding and management are vast and major.

It is all an illusion, in my honest opinion, because the "golden rule" is being followed: "Whoever has the most gold rules." And, unfortunately. I can see this in the way our city is being run, the way residents are being handled, and the false sense of leadership some have, so they exist with delusions of grandeur. <br /><br />Alfonso Todd<br /><br />www.prolifickprofiles.blogspot.com<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-52465005962713100702013-06-02T10:27:36.859-04:002013-06-02T10:27:36.859-04:00@10:08, i applaud the reporters for the article a...@10:08, i applaud the reporters for the article and their reaction to the meeting. i believe that their article, and subsequent analysis like this blog post, will help force open future meetings. in my opinion there is no longer reason to condone the executive session exception clause to the sunshine act in the niz authority meetings. their entire agenda is by definition real estate, so that exclusion should not apply for them. how much rent, or bond payment schedule reilly receives or pays out, should not qualify for public exclusion. michael molovinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581039755319742687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-32088519787720807902013-06-02T10:12:57.739-04:002013-06-02T10:12:57.739-04:00Try as I might, my inner-wiseinhimmer got the best...Try as I might, my inner-wiseinhimmer got the best of me.<br />Please except my apoligies Mr. Molovinsky sir.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-62012403792185258762013-06-02T10:08:37.965-04:002013-06-02T10:08:37.965-04:00What was surprising is that the reporter left.

Why didn't she call her publisher? He could have called the legal department if she was afraid to. If she can be so easily intimidated, not sure she'll do much investigative reporting.
