When I heard that Allentown Mayor Edwin "Fed Ed" Pawlowski snubbed City Council on Wednesday, I assumed that Managing Director Francis Dougherty was with him because he was MIA from Council as well. Turns out that Dougherty is not with Fed Ed. I learned yesterday that they are barely on speaking terms. I believe that's because he's been cooperating in the federal investigation. I suspect that is true of Sara Hailstone as well, and that is why she resigned her positions in Allentown so suddenly.
City Council member Daryl Hendricks stated at Wednesday night's meeting that there is no doubt in his mind that His Goner will be indicted. The question is when. On my left sidebar, I have a poll asking you what you think.

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.
within the week.
ReplyDeleteI expect that Miked Fleck's indictment will be the last before Fed Ed is indicted. Maybe they will be indicted at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThe lawyer in me says I don't give a fuck, I'll defend whomever as long as I get paid.
ReplyDeleteThe citizen in me says, fuck em all and I mean current & former elected officials of the Lehigh Valley who failed us in the oath of office they swore to... comes down to the choices we make
For what it's worth, I mentioned this weeks ago....and no, I didn't leave my name.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of many in a position to be badly hurt by a vindictive mayor still capable of doing real damage to everyday working people.
My children rely on me and I'm not about to lose my job to prove my integrity.
Until Hendricks returns the campaign $$$$$
ReplyDeleteFed Ed gave him his word and his pronouncements aren't worth shit.
Hendricks and others like him are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
I'm sorry to see the retirement of the "How badly does John Brown SUCK" poll, but I suppose it is for a good reason.
ReplyDeleteHailstone's dad. the Coal Region fixer, got her the job (that she wasn't remotely qualified for)
ReplyDeleteand will handle her defense.
Fran comes from a tough Phillytown family.
ReplyDeleteHe's gonna sell out Fed Ed long before he takes a fall,
Fran is one queen who most definitely does not want to do time.
The Feds take their time. I assisted them with an investigation, and testified before a federal grand jury. The investigation took TWO YEARS, and while it was complicated, this one involves a lot of people and politics. I voted by end of year, but WTH do I know? It's a pidgeon shoot.
ReplyDelete@12:31 Fran is a power top and seldom bottoms.
ReplyDelete12:32, You and I agree.
ReplyDeleteThese righteous thugs have hurt a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteThey hurt me, and they hurt my family.
There is nothing abstract about this sorry affair.
I hope the Mayor and his co-conspirators are sent to jail for a long long time.
12:51, You and I agree.
ReplyDeleteThe man is another criminal. Send him to jail with the good Christian mayor,
Let them be cell mates.
These are rotten, corrupt people.
EASY WAY TO STEAL BUY WORTHLESS REAL ESTATE FROM ABE. AYITIEA.OR FRIENDS BUY 1.OO SELL TO CITY 200,000. HE HAS OVER 600 MILLION OUR MONEY THAT NEEDS TO BE SEIZED BY FBI.AND HIS WIFE HAS TRANSFER ING ASSETS.

ReplyDeleteredd for Republican
patent pending
What we need is a 500 million dollar complex by J. Reily. Ha .how I made my millions...
DeleteAs soon as I heard the "Allentown City Without Limits" marketing slogan I knew it was absolutely perfect.
ReplyDelete12:24 Please get your facts straight. Julio Guridy, Cynthia Mota, Candida Affa, & Jeff Glazier accepted campaign donations from Fed Ed and his PAC. They also had Mike Fleck as their campaign manager.
ReplyDeleteReturn every penny of those campaign funds or tender your resignations.
ReplyDeleteNO TO CORRUPTION
I can only hope that this process continues .I can only hope the Agency gets them all. I want no hope of a Presidential pardon! All the more reason to think of the national race. Can a pardon be granted during an indictment?
ReplyDeleteHow did Hidy Ho's (the piece of shit from Angle's farm) look alike Fleck after being wired just slip off and hasn't been heard from? When is he being indicted? What about the others? Everyone is hung up on tubby the Mayor when in fact their are alot of players.
ReplyDeleteHow about that corrupt bunch of thugs in building codes and zoning who shook down and are like a goon squad at the command of the Mayor to pick and abuse public power? WHEN ARE THEY Accountable???
The Feds will be calling at His Goner’s domicile on March 17 when all the other law enforcement in the Valley is off at a conference at Penn State. They will find Fed Ed holed up in his unpermitted mancave preparing a Power Point presentation highlighting all the important accomplishments in the City of Allentown and why certain indiscretions should be overlooked.
ReplyDeleteI don't trust a word Mr. Hendricks, or the others say.
ReplyDeleteOut with the entire rotten bunch.
OUT!
Gone!!!!!
Come on you heartless bastards! It's for the children!,
ReplyDeleteIn the past I never paid much attention to local elections. Holy Christ. Useless corrupt city council .These people had election consultants for a 6k/yr job. They ran campaigns. The whole political language makes a person sick. How much money was spent by the sitting council to be lackies for the ferret. Let's follow the money. It appears there are always ex city employees on the council. If Gazer becomes controller what happens to his open seat.? Who is the next ashtray holder in line?
ReplyDeleteAfflerbach the brain dead bastard. His name is not mentioned near enough. The alpha of the investigation is 2005, maybe earlier. I hope Afflerbach is hammering xanax. Wait for a knock on the door you lifetime baby kissing bastard!!!
ReplyDeleteSo this despicable creep Pawlowski claims he is working hard every day for Allentown, WHILE HE'S ON A TAXPAYER FUNDED JUNKET TO DC AND GETTING READY TO TOUR THE WHITE HOUSE! How can he live with himself?
ReplyDeleteCodes and Building Maintenance is a nest of goons and bag men.
ReplyDeleteNail them please FBI!!!
Hiz Goner ,by taking the yearly pilgrimage to the rainbow house, is fulfilling the cult requirements!
ReplyDeleteIt's in Jesus hands now.
ReplyDeleteI know a FBI agent named Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThe Mayors from the State of Pennsylvania that attended the Mayor's Conference
ReplyDeleteJim Keeney - Philadelphia
William Peduto - Pittsburgh
Salvatore J Panto Jr - Easton
Tony George - Wilkes-Barre
C. Kim Bracey - York
Ed Pawloski - Allentown
Also attending --- Rahm Emanuel -- Chicago Illinois
Just think of the near future,all of the things that the ferret has accessible to him, staff , a paycheck,expense account,bootlickers,interviews,everything that he uses on a daily basis to fortify his existence will be gone forever.A complete breakdown will follow.I hope he lives for 600 years!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, Cynthia Mota is still bragging about her deciding vote for Delta Thermo Energy on her website.
ReplyDeleteHow could anyone with one once of compassion pick on Councilperson Mota.She's doing Her best
ReplyDeleteBecause you can't teach stupid even once.
DeleteThe FBI needs to take a close look at council members who took contributions from Ed and paid Fleck.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever have the feeling that something/someone is watching you? Brrrrr
ReplyDeletebased upon his behavior, both public and private, the mayor appears to be mentally ill. his statements to the local media, his social network accounts, and his interactions with fellow allentonians all suggest that he is suffering from grandiose delusions of grandeur. he is not mentally fit to run a government, and should be forced to step down and seek psychiatric help.
ReplyDeleteTouche'
DeleteI see the asneeza board is a little short on people. My question: How many people are needed to do nothing?Soldier on brave warriors!
ReplyDeleteTime for our politicians to head for the storm bunkers and put on their fleece jacket with logo. Ok. Let's get some potted plants to stand behind them. ok.declare an emergency ok. Use the term around the clock ok. Thank god for these leaders. If it were not for our idiots the plow crews would just stand in one place and not know what to do. We've all seen this , it's hilarious. The stupid bastards .
ReplyDeletePawlowski will still be in control long after his arrest and conviction. His minions on Council, in the school district and now in County government, [Mueller and Hanna], the latter who took thousands of dollars from fifteen [15] different affluent Pawlowski donors during his recent election, will be calling the shots for years to come. This gives credence to the saying: Old Chicago politicians never die, they just go to jail and revive their political careers later!
ReplyDeleteHe's bleeding the city dry.
ReplyDeleteI hope the judge takes this into account at sentencing time.
I'm withholding my judgment until Alan Jennings Man of the People weights in.
ReplyDeletePalowski will be indicted after the Feds have all they need and the plea deal is done; Feds dont respond to public sentiment
ReplyDeleteI truly hope that Hiz Goner goes to trial. I believe he is that far gone. I've never heard of Edwin pawlowski and I would gladly serve on the jury.
ReplyDeletewhat role does the city purchasing agent have in this debacle?
ReplyDeleteThe former one not the current one. Finally. Someone brought it up. Molitoris is as dirty as they come! She should be able to bunk up with her grandma Mary Ellen cause they were breaking all kinds of rules together!
DeleteLet me get this straight were out over 800 million lost 7 members guilty he asked to let but won't On behalf of city I say FYI will convict him under RICO by way of grand Jury investigation the evidence can't be suppressed under RICO.STATUE.
ReplyDeleteAnd what happens to that scumbag Fleck? the dirtbags crooks in building and zoning?
