Bernie only has so much time and the MCall is in the tank for the NIZ. The suburban water/sewer customers in Lehigh County ultimately provided the million dollars that went to Abe for the land deal.<br /><br />"Look at the cast of characters associated with the LCA. The consultants they retained, as well as their vendors, are all your favorite subjects to write about."<br /><br />You are spot on. Much of this deal was done behind closed doors. Who were the attorneys, engineers, and financial advisers? What did they charge in fees? Were they campaign contributors?<br /><br />"You could speak with the city's finance director but he also retired this spring."<br /><br />Better yet, you could speak to Lehigh County Administrator/Executive/LCA Board member Tom Muller whose fingerprints are all over this deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-88198825213061794422015-08-17T14:53:51.901-04:002015-08-17T14:53:51.901-04:00On 7th street On 7th street Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-23227144746672818702015-08-17T13:53:17.854-04:002015-08-17T13:53:17.854-04:00There are candidates who are running for reelectio...There are candidates who are running for reelection, "from city elections", that used in kind Atiyeh services.

I tried to search for it and found almost nothing. I didn't find anyone's name attached to the company, which is strange. The phone number that was listed for the company takes you back to an office in Lemoyne, west of Harrisburg. There were no other businesses listed at that same Doylestown office. A newspaper article said the city issued an RFP for the billboards. Did they really? How many firms responded? Were they given a week to respond to a proposal tailored to one company? How much money is the city actually making from these billboards?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
