Donchez & Reynolds Have Healthy Warchests

Bob Donchez, Willie Reynolds and Mike Recchiuti at a debate four years ago
Bethlehem Mayor Bob Donchez and Council President J. Willie Reynolds are both reporting healthy warchests. The major difference between the two is that Bob Donchez can keep his powder dry this year, unless he donates to some of the races. Reynolds, by contrast, s facing a re-election battle.

Donchez raised nearly $28,000 last year, and only spent $2,700. So he starts 2014 with a $96,077.86 campaign treasury.

It's good to be Mayor.

Reynolds did very well at raining money, too. He pulled in $21,125.00 over the past year, But he spent $5,037.03, leaving him with a treasury of $21,407.26. That's a nice starting point for this year's race.

  1. The perpetual money machine of new government. It is disgusting and a reason why the up and coming Reynolds will no longer get my vote.

    These guys raise more money than they need and use to get even more and influence other elections to their own benefit.

    Pigs at a trough.

  3. Relax Willie, let Bob have his 8 years and then it's your turn, simple enough.

    Bob is doing a fine job so leave well enough alone!

  4. I am lucky in that several trolls visit this blog, not just one, and I know them all. i just deleted a comment by Rolf Oeler, a whack job who threatened to kill Obama ont the last election day. Nothing her= posts here is welcome. If I just think something is coming from him, it is deleted.

  6. Funny how Rolf Oeler was never charged in connection with these alleged threats to kill President Obama.

    Last time anybody checked, the Secret Service does not take anything even remotely close to a threat lightly.

    Is that why Rolf Oeler was never ever detained or even questioned by the Secret Service?

    Enough with the melodramatics, Liar.

  7. Rolph Oeler was reported and investigated. His comments here are no longer welcome. Now go away and bother someone else, you little twerp.

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.
