Video now working properly, http://www.ustream.tv/channel/lehigh-valley-caffeinated
I apologize for the poor quality of my running commentary. For instance, I meant $600 million instead of $600, bit I'm quite sure there were plenty of other mistakes. But the victory tonight was quite unexpected and very gratifying. Our group can now think about moving forward successfully on several fronts and we intend to have some major announcements next week. Breaking developments and leaks last week have shifted the dynamics of the struggle tremendously, and it appears we will soon see the demise of Ed Pawlowski. The only question is how, and I can now envision several scenarios any one of which wI'll push him over the edge. But council is still very much on probation and the future of the so called Pawlowski ticket is potentially very shajy.

God grant us an end to this sordid ordeal.
Have some honor, Mr. Pawlowski,
step aside.
FYI...

It's nice to see this working. Citizens can view the entire meeting online. Joe Hilliard starts it off with a bang!
Every council person except one MUST GO!
WTF JUST HAPPENED IN HELLERTOWN?
Lets be fair. Robert Trotner is the head of the Lehigh Valley Coffee Party. A small group of people who have very local if any support from Allentoians.
Let's be honest...you all have your heads buried in the sand and/or your name is Anonymous.
Silence is what got us here. NON-LOCAL public officials have brainwashed the local citizens of Allentown. Awesome!
Too little
Too late
They gotta go
Bravo, council, NOT. Where were they the past 8 years. Julio Guiridy, Glaser - now you want to be heroes, when you took the mayors cash raised through corruption of pay and play, nice try. TO me it looks like rats jumping off a sinking ship, or a bunch of Brutuses insuring they get their dagger red before they go before the voters - council needs some new faces, and we for sure need a new city controller (do we even have a city controller?)

Drove past Allentown's Recycling Center and saw a 3 tier digital billboard.
So gross. Can you look into that digital contract. It went from one person to another and yet another.
Is Dat playing football again this year?
Does this mean that Charlie Thiel won't get any more nobid contracts with the city?
@2:17 Sounds like you might be losing your meal ticket when the Chicago Eddy gang is run out of town on rails? A little bitter 'bout that?

Am I the only one horrified that the Iron Lady is not on the ballot again? God Bless Jeannette Eichenwald!!! THANK YOU
Good news , now CSI and Charlie Thiel and stop fleecing the city.
"Is Dat playing football again this year?"
No, he wants to start or be #6 or #7 off the bench at Central's basketball program, and is doing basketball drills every night so that he is on the top of his game when they get going. The team is stacked. So he opted against football this year. I love to watch him play, but he has to make his own decisions when it comes to sports.

Why can't you submit an OT comment like this to Opinions Online? That's really not fair to me, when I take the time to go to a meeting and write about something, to have someone else come in and post a question about something completely different. Plus, you want me to look into the contract. Why can't you? Democracy is not a spectator sport, you know.
Rich, Thanks for the link to the video of meetings. I was unaware.
Lou, Your video is good, but as Rich Fegley notes, the City does a videocast. I am happy to see this bc you obviously can't be at every meeting.
Thank you Jeannette Eichenwald for being the only council person who questioned everything. The rest, should hang their head in shame and get off the dashboard.
I was unaware the city video feed was working, and you are correct in saying I will not be able to attend every meeting. But as always, I will do my best with what I have.
There has to be an independent solicitor for council. Didn't
Solicitor Wild use Fleck for her campaign when she ran for County Commissioner?
A separation of powers between council and mayor is what is needed, and independent solicitors would be a good start.
