You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.

ReplyDeletejulio's campaign - turn allentown into the domincan republic north, wake up democrats......
ReplyDeletehow comes everything with this guy is racially motivated, you look at him wrong and you are a racist, you talk about litter and you target hispanics, you talk about loitering and you are targeting hispanics.
THIS GUY IS THE RACIST
Also, do not forget about his role inthe police pensions, he voted exactly like hershman, robo-callers never told you that
Another liar, from his website:
ReplyDeleteFACTS:
*"I AM ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE AND COMPETENT COUNCILPERSON IN ALLENTOWN CITY COUNCIL" - most incompetent, no legislation in 4 years, just a cute smile
*"I AM ALSO THE FIRST AND ONLY PERSON OF COLOR IN THE HISTORY OF ALLENTOWN CITY COUNCIL" - What about tony phillips and Marty Velasquez, on council 6 years before julio?? Is he for real, lie to your face to appeal to the minority vote
*EVERY STUDY DONE ABOUT ALLENTOWN AND EVERY EXPERT IN CITY PLANNING HAS TOLD US THAT WE CAN CAPITALIZE IN THE DIVERSITY OF THE CITY - what studies? everything with this guy is about diversity, his favorite word.
The above two comments probably are intended for Julio, not Ray. I do not know that he isracist, but do not like the way he played that card concerning the playground.
