Five different people have forwarded me a royal proclamation from King Edwin's reelection campaign. It was widely circulated yesterday, and urges people to come to city council on Thursday night, and watch as he magically dispels the "misinformation that has been propagated concerning the proposed renovations of Cedar Creek park." He fails to mention that most of this misinformation has come from him.
Funny thing about that letter. It's identical to an undated Pawlowski proclamation, posted on the city's web page, presumably written by Pawlowski in his capacity as mayor. So he is using his city work product to promote his candidacy for mayor. This violates the Allentown Home Rule Charter proscription on "using city facilities or property for any political activity."
Now I know why city employee Erlinda Aguiar thought nothing of parking a city vehicle at a politcal rally thie Spring, and walking inside to hand out brochures.

GTive it a rest Ohare. Your buddy Stoffa and his hacks could be accused of that every day.
How do you get on Stoffa's email list? I'd like to be on it. I didn't know he had one.
I didn't ask to be on Pawlowski's list and someone I get his emails all the time and I don't even live in Lehigh County. I live in NOrthampton so I'd rather have Stoffa's. Bernie, how do you sign up?
Stoffa has no email list. Anon 12:41 is nutz.
I think you got something against Pawlowks because your kinsman Percy Dougherty does the same thing, yet it goes unreported.
Your brilliant legal mind is impressive, O'Hare. Yes, misappropriation of work product. That's the ticket!
Moron.
Why should Pawlowski follow the rules?
Nice try. This wouldn't hold up in court.
If he was using the city's e-mail to say vote for Pawlowski that would be a violation. This isn't.
The same letter being used for his political campaign appears on the ciy web page. No matter ow you cut it, a city resource is being used for political purposes in violation of the HRC.
But it is okay when Tony Phillips does it, right?
If Phillips does it, he's wrong, too. But I've seen no evidence to support that accusation.
sooooooooo,
what if a city employee sends out invitations to a fundraiser for their campaign on the city email from their city office, is that bad too?

It's stealing. Isn't anybody honest anymore?
