Is Strathearn Next?
Allentown's former Finance Director Gary Strathearn, known to the feds as Public Official #4, is rumored to be the next head to roll, possibly this week. In the meantime, The Morning Call's Bill White is calling on Fed Ed to resign, not because he's guilty, but so he can concentrate on fighting against those nasty "Pawlowski haters."

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.
Bernie,
ReplyDeleteWrote this yesterday om my Facebook page.
Message to Bill White, The term "Pawlowski Haters" was coined by Ed Pawlowski's administration to discredit and impugn his critics. Bill White uses the term in his column asking for the mayor to resign.
"There are plenty of Pawlowski-haters out there. I haven't been one of them"
Well Bill, if you had bothered to pay any attention to Allentown these past ten years then you would have noticed the apparent corruption, the spreading blight, and annually rising poverty in the city.
If you had used your position as a commentator in the local press and written about any of this, then you too would have been labelled a Pawlowski Hater." You could have been one of the few who bothered/dared to speak out against these same troubling concerns.
But you didn't and you weren't.

but Scott, white has brought us sensational and hard hitting journalism such as eating your way thru music mess and the pet of the week
ReplyDeletePawlowski Haters...LOL
ReplyDeleteYou Ed-lovers are Pennsylvania Taxpayer Haters. I think I know which *sin* is greater.
It is only a matter of time before the mayor of Allentown is charged. It goes to show the sociopathic behavior of some of these politicians to think they still walk above water while doing shady and illegal deals. Hope justice does prevail for all hard working citizens and taxpayers everywhere. We need to take back this country and not have the .1% rule and have 99% of the wealth based in a corrupt system that exploits Joe citizen
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,

When is pawlowski next?
ReplyDeleteWhen the Feds have a rock solid case with no chance of an acquittal. I'm betting within 90 days. We should start a pool.
ReplyDeleteSubstitute Pawlowski haters with Nixon haters. Corruption is corruption. Nixon was never charged but does anyone suggest that Watergate was the result of haters?
ReplyDeleteBill White's worst nightmare - Pawlowski converts to Islam.
ReplyDeleteThen Bill has the liberal dilemma of deciding whether his calling for Pawlowski's resignation is appropriate, or just Islamophobia on his part.
Has Fed Ed set up a go fund me page yet?
ReplyDeleteWho exactly are the 1%?
ReplyDeleteOh! More 1% hoopla. But, but, but the superheroic and ultra transformative Obama has been President for the past seven years?
ReplyDeleteObama has been part of the 1% who have been ruling us these past seven years?
Say it ain't so.
7:03.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous coward. I live at 1516 West Turner street. Come to my front door and say that. Readers of this blog can read your comment as testament to what passes for partisan dialogue in Allentown. If one isn't part of the Democratic team one must be insulted by those too cowardly to even sign their own name to the slander. This informs everyone on all they need to know about Ed Pawlowskis' Allentown.
By the way no one could be happier about my re-election loss them me.No skin off my back. I have a life, two wonderful children, a beautiful, successful, and intelligent wife and more work than I can handle with my own business. But that's my problem.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a gay teabagger.
7:03 aka Union Hack,
ReplyDeleteNot doing a whole lot to shine a positive light on the teaching profession here, are you then?
Your classroom must be a real circus act.
8:12,
ReplyDelete7:03 did everyone a favor. He doubled down on dumb and proved my point. My hat is off to his ostentatious display of his own ignorance. This is Allentown after all, the city that re-elected the non controlling controller Ellen Koval. It gets what is deserves.
Scott
actually, 7:03 is a known antagonist, and scott is on his enemies list, along with many others.
ReplyDelete"Sounds like a gay teabagger."
ReplyDeleteAnd you sound like a homophobe.
Ta-ta.
Liberals believe in tolerance. You are no liberal, just a thug.
Bernie and Mike,
ReplyDeleteSadly there are too many people like 7:03 active in Allentown, and all are operating under the wing of the powers that be.7:03 may be the extreme but Ed has allowed the facilitation of many acolytes.
Scott Armstrong
Hey Scottie, I didn't vote for Ed or Ellen and certainly not YOU! TA TA! We are all better off now that you are gone! Your ignorant and beligerent behavior is gone! Allentown needs work but we don't need you. Come to my class and learn! Central
ReplyDeleteAllentown Teachet
Central Allentown Teacher, If you want to call someone out, develop some integrity and identify yourself. That is no example for you to set for your students, assuming you are being honest.
ReplyDelete"Central Allentown Teachet"
ReplyDeleteNow I know for sure that the Allentown School District is the very LAST place I want to send my kid if I actually want my kid to be able to spell correctly.
Thanks 7:03, 10:15! You have provided most valuable insight into the mindset of a typical Union Hack. And enormously valuable insight into why our city's kids' tests scores collectively suck.
