The criminal investigation of Allentown City Hall has now spread to both the Parking Authority and Lehigh County. The private tax collecting agencies used are so lucrative that they pay our local government for the contract. They made their money on the fines and fees, levied on the backs of the citizen voters. The Parking Authority charges more per hour than resort cities.
Fortunately, we have local gifted artists, to give us some pause and respite from the corruption surrounding us.

Well said - I shared it. Oh the humanity....
ReplyDeleteCorruption. I was told by a local attorney to be careful when saying that word. He gasped when I said the Delta Thermo Energy incinerator deal was corrupt. This was Feb 2012 just before the deal was rubber-stamped by Council.
ReplyDeleteThanks again to the FBI for investigating Allentown and the Lehigh Valley.
Allentown is corrupt.
Gorgeous photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for highlighting this fine work.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful illustrations :)
ReplyDeleteFollow the money, you find the pockets it went into
About corruption... I just wanted to say "I'm not a crook".
ReplyDeleteWhen is this story going to go national?
Great photos-we lived thru a historical event: The blizzard of 16
ReplyDeleteThe blast radius of this investigation is expanding rapidly. Presently the focus is on this tax group. I assume the Bureau is not myopic. This is a target rich zone. If money ever passed this way, I'm thinking the local toll takers might have practiced their trade.
