Reynolds and Donchez Are Killing Me

You know, I'm getting a little fed up with Bethlehem politics.

City Council candidate Adam Waldron goofs and forgets to file circulator affidavits with his nomination petitions, and nobody even says boo. In Allentown, he'd already be hanging from his toes, swaying in the wind.

Now, to make matters even worse, Willie Reynolds and Bob Donchez are actually running an issue-oriented campaign and being nice to each other. What fun is that?

Throw me a frickin' bone, will 'ya?

Instead of talking about government, Donchez should attack Reynolds as a teacher, a favorite target of anonymous trolls everywhere. When someone points out that Donchez was a teacher himself, he can indignantly say, "I quit."

Then Reynolds can attack Donchez as a legislative aide, which is actually one of my pet peeves. When someone points out that Reynolds was a legislative aide himself, he can indignantly say, "I quit."

In the meantime, controversial developer Abe Atiyeh is so pissed at Mayor John Callahan that he is underwriting much of Lamont McClure's Exec race. He's doing helpful things like plastering McClure's mugshot on a billboard that Palmer Township residents and The Express Times hate. Abe, if you really wanted to get Callahan, you'd put his puss on that billboard.

With rabbit ears.
