It will continue to be a problem for the next 28+ years. When the relocations start to come from York, Altonna, Scranton, Erie will there be a movement to do something.

The NIZ was enabling legislation that Pat Browne slipped into the Fiscal Code. The Fiscal Code is part of the annual budget process which has not occurred yet this budget year.

One detail - I heard that Mr. Shuman's building was torched at a late night hour immediately following a very contentious meeting in Reading about the project labor agreements, which was attended by some guys from outside of the Reading area. The fire was reportedly set in 5 different parts of the building.

Flecks's push for PLAs is no mere speculation, but is factual. That a leading Reading opponent of PLAs saw his business go up in flames in not speculation, but factual. The involvement of the feds and the reward from an anti-PLA outfit suggests quite strongly that unions are suspected of having set this fire. It is no speculation, but fact that trade unions have given heavily to pro-PLA Pawlowski and Spenser. I believe that, in addition to looking at pay to play, feds are trying to solve that arson and suspect trade unions.
