The purported “survey” conducted by this “Citizens Group” was in fact a hand-picked group of 35 respondents whose members include council candidates whom Mr. Reynolds defeated in the 2011 municipal election. In that same election, more than 2,500 voters re-elected Mr. Reynolds to City Council based on his accomplishments not only on Council itself but also on the initiative and hard work he performs in serving the residents of Bethlehem. In addition, Mr. Reynolds has worked assiduously with civic organizations and the schools.<br /> <br />Mr. Donchez has tried to support his irresponsible endorsement of the "Citizens Group" by suggesting the group's rankings have the imprimatur of the Morning Call. In fact, they come from a Morning Call blogger who is dismissive of the “grades” the “Citizens Group” gave. The blogger points out that the grading of the Council members “appear to be more of a ranking of those who agrees with Mayor John Callahan, with those in most agreement getting the lowest grade.”<br /><br />Citation: http://blogs.mcall.com/valley610/2010/10/would-a-little-extra-credit-help.html<br /><br />In his campaign announcement, Mr. Donchez said he wants Bethlehem to be "the jewel of the Lehigh Valley," a jewel that "shines brightly for generations to come." There is no "jewel" in Mr. Donchez's campaign. Just slime.<br /><br />Frank Baran<br />36 West Spruce Street<br />Bethlehem, PA 18018Frank Barannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-3757160673125917482013-04-05T12:08:36.268-04:002013-04-05T12:08:36.268-04:0045 Days and it's over Johnny45 Days and it's over JohnnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-31733804453596136612013-04-05T09:51:11.314-04:002013-04-05T09:51:11.314-04:00I see your point, but won't allow you to draw ...I see your point, but won't allow you to draw civilians into the quagmire unless you clearly identify yourself, as Donchez did in his mailer quoting Willie.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-8175231510194180432013-04-05T09:48:56.529-04:002013-04-05T09:48:56.529-04:00Bob raised the hotness issue.

It is actually a blog post on the mcall.com site. Here is the link: http://blogs.mcall.com/valley610/2010/10/would-a-little-extra-credit-help.html<br /><br />What strikes me as ironic is Donchez is saying a poll with 35 responses is true and accurate, when a survey of 1500 residents on the trash issue was not accurate. <br /><br />I am sure the responses came from the usual gadfly attendees of council meetings. I would bet that the majority came from Antalics (who conducted the survey), Grubb, Pfenning, Schierer, etc. We all saw in the last election when those 4 supported Simao and Carroll, that their opinions don't reflect the majority of the voters. <br /><br />Coincidentally, Donchez was only graded a little better than average with a 2.8. And Gordon Mowrer, who was an excellent mayor, was graded just above Reynolds. <br /><br />Apparently low grades translate to good leaders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-29896500034291479802013-04-05T08:46:10.668-04:002013-04-05T08:46:10.668-04:00I haven't made up my mind yet on who to vote f...I haven't made up my mind yet on who to vote for, but this was a little low for Donchez.
