RIP Frank Fischl
Former Allentown Mayor Frank Fischl, who first brought tax breaks to the Queen City to lure business, has passed away. A decorated war hero, he served only one term. The Morning Call's Frank Warner tells you about this man of honor. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

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.
He was a very good man, dedicated war hero, and a no-nonsense mayor. Something that Allentown does not have now: A deceitful, non-transparent, and self-indulgent mayor who sees himself as God's gift to Allentown. Just as Allentown changed, the political landscape changed!
ReplyDeleteOne of Allentown's better Mayors He is missed and condolences to his family, friends and all who supported him.
ReplyDeleteJust another attack disguised as a tribute. You people have no shame.
ReplyDeleteFrank was a class act...a true gentleman. His support of me when I was in politics always meant a great deal. He would quietly offer advice and insight, never seeking the limelight or expecting anything for himself. You're so right, Bernie: They don't make 'em like that anymore.
