And the Winner is ... Mike Fleck

Mike Fleck with Mick Dee
No matter how the elections turn out, the biggest local winner is Mike Fleck. From what I've seen of local expense reports, he's raking in the dough. For the period between January 1 and May 6, this is what he's been paid by local candidates:

Edwin Pawlowski - $38,000
Ismael Arcelay -        $2,800
Bob Donchez -         $6,000
Glenn Reibman -      $10,075

That's $56,875, and does not include payments from Julio Guridy or Cynthia Mota

  1. And the paper routes are pure profit, baby! Heard he is looking to expand in the refuse and disposal business. He knows a few things about dumpsters.

  2. Pawlowski, with no primary opponent, why spending 38000, unlesshis polling tells him,needs fleck on board,because polling shows his water sewer deal could cost him the mayors office, thus him becoming Governor

  3. Never read anything about flecks chartable work, since he earns in the six figures and could give to those that need help other than the politiciansscience

  4. Don't read s lot about anyone's charitable work. Beat him up all you want for fleecing Reibmam, but let's do it fairly

  5. $60K is not exactly rolling in it. I guess it's not a bad take for someone lacking a college sheepskin. I couldn't live on it.

  6. Fleck has a staff. Is the money going to Mike directly or is it going to his consulting firm i.e. Mike who than pays the people who works for him

  7. This goes to his firm, and pays the people under him. Don't forget the union and business consulting and political consulting elsewhere. He seems to be doing well.

  8. Not saying Fleck isn't doing well. One can argue the merits/ethics/moral value of political consulting as a small business. However a payment to Fleck's business is different than a direct payment to Mike himself.

  10. After Tuesday, Fleck will do Easton a favor and move to Allentown, and we'll never hear Reibman's name again!!!

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.
