Democratic heavyweight Marcel Grown is known as the lawyer you must have on your side if you want to run for office statewide. It's not just his money, but the money he can raise from others that makes him attractive to candidates. And isn't it odd how all of his business interests have something to do with the government?
Locally, he's the alchemist who persuaded Allentown to approve a trash-to-cash plant that will turn lead into gold. I'm sure Mayor Edwin Pawlowski's enthusiasm for the project has nothing to do with a steady stream of campaign contributions from Groen and company.
Now comes word that Groen is also involved in the sale or lease of the Queen City's water and sewer. I don't know which outfit it is, but I expect to see it soon.

If I sat down to write a bad novel about bad governance, and tried to make it as outlandish as pojavascript:void(0);ssible, I wouldn't even come close to what's going on here.
Is he involved in one of the companies, or is he going to charge Allentown $5 million or so in legal fees to represent them?
The Banker
I know none of the details at this point, except that he is involved in one of the outfits.
Are we shocked ?
you do know what it takes to turn Pb to Au.....
Allentown is being sold out to democrat special interests. They prey like locusts on taxpayers, while sprinkling crumbs on those groups that support their power base.
Eventually there is nothing left. Witness most of our democrat controlled major cities.
He's Mike Fleck's handler. That is his in to King Edwin.
4:53 Nonsence. Groen has done legal work for the city. He knows the mayor very well. Very,very well.
Whatever your opinion on the water/sewer sale there needs to be a lot more transparancy.
I hope Mr. Donovan figures out there are too many parties to the deal involved in politics.
One condition for the deal should be that no party involved in the transaction can make poltical contribution to any Lehigh County elected official for at leat five years after the deal closes.
