ADDENDUM JANUARY 3, 2024:Among those who thought city hall was for sale back then was the FBI.There is a current push to have Biden commute the sentence of former mayor Ed Pawlowski. I served as a contact between the former owner of the former city hall sign and the current owner. I doubt that there will be a third owner. We with any institutional knowledge and interest are a dwindling commodity.
At this point in time who in their right mind would make a bid on the foul place? Having said that it’s entirely possible that within a relatively short period of time people may look back at this moment as the good old days.
ReplyDeleteI read yesterday that the City of Allentown still has people working at home, presumably as the result of the pandemic.
ReplyDeleteNever mind that the pandemic’s been over for almost four years now, at least for those of us in the private sector who are paying the taxes for City Hall’s generosity.
In a normal place this would be a scandal that would upend the coming election. But in a one party town like Allentown, no candidate needs to represent the taxpayer.
The lack of appetite by the Morning Call for anything beyond feel good stories is rather amazing.
DeleteThe Call ceased being a NEWSpaper many years ago... it's now a cheerleading paper with feel good articles. What happened to in depth reporting on ALL issues, not just the ones the reporter likes??? Where are the hard hitting articles we all miss???
DeleteIt’s VERY obvious the Morning Call avoids discussion about the real failure Allentown’s NIZ has turned out to be. We are all paying for that scam to continue on any longer. Turn it all off!
