One of the chief witnesses against Allentown Mayor Edwin "Fed Ed" Pawlowski, Ramzi Haddad, has had his sentencing postponed until April 14, 2016, according to records on file at the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. On September 10, Haddad pleaded guilty to paying bribes to Pawlowski, known in federal papers as Public Official #3, in exchange for favorable treatment in Allentown. The criminal information reveals that Fed Ed went to extraordinary lengths to hide his criminal conduct, including at least one sweep of his office for electronic bugs and the purchase of burner phones.
There is also a sealed order entered in the Haddad case, dated November 19, which likely reveals the amount of cooperation expected from him.
Dale Wiles, a former Assistant City Solicitor who pleaded guilty to bid-rigging for Pawlowski, is scheduled for sentencing on March 2, 2016. He's out on $50,000 unsecured bail, and received a notice yesterday concerning his passport.

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.
Dear Santa:
ReplyDeleteAll I want for Christmas is for mayor Pawlowski and any current or former council members and, current or former state representatives/senators to resign and go to jail for their roles in the political corruption that is the City of Allentown Pa...
Dear 2:36 PM,
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to be able to fulfill your request because Fed Ed promised me luxury box hockey tickets and I don't want to lose them. I'm also moving my workshop to the NIZ, as it makes good business sense. Sorry.
Merry Christmas anyway,
Santa
