The Express Times has an interesting story, but I need to fill in the blanks. It is reporting that James Reilly assaulted Brendan Hansbury at Hellertown's Braveheart Highland Pub earlier this month Reilly allegedly accused Hansbury of ratting him out in connection with the FBI investigation into Fed Ed's pay-to-play practices.
Here's what the story fails to mention. Jim Reilly, who has always been the picture of decorum at public meetings, is actually the President of the Lehigh Valley Building Trades. Brendan Hansbury is Miked Fleck's brother-in-law. Fleck's wife Allison was originally a Hansbury.
At least these guys had the common decency to fight inside a Gaelic bar.

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.
Holy shit!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't crazy enough already???
I find it reassuring that Mayor Pawlowski still has good people in his corner.
ReplyDeleteStay the course, Edwin.
I guess this means that Miked Fleck won't be making any visits back to the area. Good to know.
ReplyDeleteBetween the Union creeps and Buildings &
ReplyDeleteCodes you wonder why people won't use their names?
Fran is the point of contact for these fine union gentleman.
Come to think of it, he handles the thug inspectors as well.
This town is one scary place.
So Fleck has a brother in law AND a sister in law in the game?
ReplyDeleteBetween him and the Pawlowskis it's a family affair.
At least Francis keeps his family and significant other in Philadelphia....and thank God for that.
10 hands wash the other 10 hands? Flow chart please.
ReplyDeleteAs Sheamus the Celtic Warrior would say "Are ye not entertained" (That is if it wasn't such a mess)
Is Mike Fleck the guy in white? Everyone else is bad but Mike's name isn't connected to the slime.

You use that excuse for everything. face it, you are a coward with no spine. Doesn't matter that you agree with me. There are very few exceptions to this.

Where's Tony Soprano, Pauly Walnuts and Christopher ?
ReplyDeleteNo. It wasn't at the Bada Bing.

ReplyDeleteOK now that's funny!
Is Jim Reilly related to JB Reilly and/or is Jim Reilly's name on the subpoena list? I'm just curious as I am wondering his connection. And for that matter, I wonder Brendan's connection, which I'm sure is none. I believe he is unemployed and just recently moved into this area, having lived in West Virginia for many, many years prior.

ReplyDeleteI see this a serious warning to anyone going to testify against The Pawloski Gang. Keep Your mouth shut ! Very intellegent move on Mr.Reilly's part
ReplyDeleteNow that is scary, but definitely possible.

DeleteHenry Hill Fleck's brother in-law, should consider moving out of the area. I hear Georgia is nice these days.
ReplyDeleteGeorgia doesn't want either piece of shit.
