UPDATED:Preliminary reports indicates that at least one new candidate for Allentown City Council, opposed to the water lease, was bluffed into dropping out by an attorney, supposedly Brennan. Who was employing the attorney is unclear. The candidate, Kim Velez, then realized that her decision was premature, but failed in her attempt to be reinstated. There will now be eight candidates for City Council, five incumbents, and three challengers, two of whom are opposed to the water lease.
UPDATE: Ms. Velez will retain counsel, and attempt to be reinstated.Bernie O'Hare report on the Velez saga
Do you know for certain she was unable to gt back in?
ReplyDelete@6:48, no, i'm out on the limb with this report.
ReplyDeleteI am seeing an attorney tomorrow. Apparently I can withdraw the withdrawal if there is evidence of coercion and duress that led to involuntary withdrawal.
ReplyDeleteKim, please get back in, we need free independent thinkers like yourself on council.
DeleteBest of Luck Kim! MM - look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteKim, Don't wait to be reinstated. Run your campaign now. Run hard.
