I remember him coming to my door during the campaign and when I asked about his campaign donations he said it created no conflicts and that he was not beholden to Pawlowski.

I still cannot believe that Glazier made it onto city council. It would be a travesty to allow him further powers and abilities. His track record is deplorable. Frankly, Bobo the Chimp is more qualified and has more integrity.

It must have been obvious to all involved that bribery was how jobs get done. The fact that no one on our own home turf outed this outrageousness leads me to believe that EVERYONE was in on it. Why did it take the FBI to expose such a huge and pervasive scandal?? Does no one wear the white hat in Allentown? <br /><br />This is, indeed, a CYA move. I don't buy it for a moment.

That makes her the criminal, not the VICTIM. As for who the real victims are, how about the city residents who Koval was supposed to be representing and protecting from this kind of abuse?<br /><br />That Affa, now an elected official herself, doesn't seem to understand who elected officials owe their allegiance to is appalling.<br /><br />From her comment, I can only conclude that she is only concerned about more people who hitched themselves to the Mayor being implicated.
