Newspapers generally shy away from coverage of political races especially when they're three years away. Besides, in urban growth regimes like Allentown, democracy is pretty much dead. But Allentown blogger Michael Molovinsky, who prefers opinion pieces, did a fairly balanced interview with possible Allentown mayoral candidate Siobhan Sam Bennett yesterday. He even took notes.
It's very well done, and I recommend anyone from Allentown to give it a read.

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.
Ms.Bennett does not seem like the type of hustler that will wait to run for Mayor.She needs the political job now.How about United States Senator from Pa. Seems like The President should give Her a job to tide Her over
ReplyDeleteI hope Mike gives her a few drinks first. Would love to see her top the drunken slurred spectacle she made after losing her first bid for mayor. That was a true classic and was recorded by a few political junkies.
ReplyDeletePure gold!
Told you this crazy woman was running for mayor! Maybe Mike should have asked her about why she blew $2 million in Other People's Money (OPM) running for Congress against Charlie Dent after losing two primary elections for mayor first. By the way, guys like Vince Fumo went to jail for OPM but not Sam.
ReplyDelete@3:23, apparently, enough people had faith in her to contribute to her campagin, nobody forced them.
