Last time Bethlehem Planners considered an Abe Atiyeh plan for a psychiatric hospital at Center and Dewberry, they goofed. In Judge Edward Smith's words, they "improperly invaded the province of the City of Bethlehem Zoning Hearing Board by making a determination of whether the use is a permitted use ... ."
Planners were set to consider a scaled-down version of Atiyeh's plan tomorrow, but that won't be happening. No meeting notice was advertised in the newspapers, as required under the Sunshine Act.

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.
That media tax needs to be removed, who gets a newspaper anymore?

I know it is out of your typical realm but it certainly reeks to high heaven. The way I read it the library will get a 1.5 million windfall, per year, if the tax rate is not adjusted do to the county reassessment. Oh and of course they want to sue if they don't get it. This is not a "revenue neutral" reassessment as advertised.
