This coming November 3th, Allentown will have the opportunity to restore the Lion to the sleepy City Council. Without Hershman, the new Council will provide no checks and balances, what-so-ever, to the Administration's version of government.
Lou Hershman is a one man thorn bush. Rest assure that if any counter balance can be cajoled out of this essentially one party town, Lou is the man to do it. Regardless of one's political persuasion, there can be no down side to electing Lou.
Which executive in our little world doesn't need at least some scrutiny, at least to answer an occasional question.

In memory of Lou Hershman
Mike, Lou was the last of the old Allentown leaders, people who ran because they cared about the city rather than for personal or political gain. Allentown has changed a lot over the years, well intentioned leaders like Lou have all been replaced by leaders whose intentions are questionable. The wise voters who once elected leaders based on platforms and integrity have been replaced by voters who care not about the afforementioned qualities but instead vote party. Rest in peace Lou and thank you.
