No way Dorney or Hershey park allow legislation to go through directing any amusement tax to the state. What South Whitehall should do is bill the city of allentown every time Woodlawn fire company has their cascade unit go to a fire in the city which is 3-4 times a week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-82966877703485895072012-04-13T12:28:28.069-04:002012-04-13T12:28:28.069-04:00South Whitehall at least is in Lehigh County and p...South Whitehall at least is in Lehigh County and probably has more people in the NIZ than all the Norco townships involved.<br /><br />But, South Whitehall isn't shy in taking all the tax benefits avaliable. How about the idea of all amusement taxes being directed to the state? I bet they wouldn't be happy losing the Dorney Park gravy.

Remember the outrage and civil/criminal charges and court wins by the Township against the "Bubble House". A blatant zoning violation that still exists to this day! The Township refuses to enforce their own court orders against the violation so why will they follow through with a lawsuit against a city where the Township manager lives and at one time worked in the Mayors office?SWT Residentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-79035713259309763132012-04-13T11:16:46.062-04:002012-04-13T11:16:46.062-04:00The Township would be a big loser to the NIZ.
