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.
Perfect.
ReplyDeleteBrown and the Hotels oweners are on the same page.
This should be a one minute speech! Almost everything this moron does is non-transparent.
ReplyDeleteHow much will this event cost the taxpayers?
ReplyDelete8:18, As I note in my post, the event is free. This is your chance for free breakfast at Hotel Bethlehem!
ReplyDeletecan't be much of a breakfast lasting only 1/2 hr
ReplyDeleteI believe he means with Northampton County taxpayers footing the bill, what would be the total amount.
ReplyDeleteLVEDC is footing the bill.
ReplyDeleteitsnt the Lehigh valley economic board wholly subsidized by hotel tax?
ReplyDeleteNot wholly. Partially.
ReplyDeleteTell Cunningham to find some industry for the Slate Belt with the $$$ instead of funding this. How is this in the realm of their objective?
ReplyDeleteCunningham has probably found more jobs in the slate belt than all of his predecessors combined. Last year, I published a story with the specifics. I am glad he is doing this. Everyone knows their Mayor, but county government is the forgotten government even though it has more impact on your life.
ReplyDeleteSorry Bernie he has not. Name one place he has brought jobs to the Slate Belt and specifically the eastern part. Is he responsible for the proposed sludge plant in Plainfield?
DeleteA link to my story about what Cunningham has done in NC, including the slate belt - http://bethlehem.thelehighvalleypress.com/2016/05/17/cunningham-manufacturing-alive-and-well-lehigh-valley-0
ReplyDeleteRead the article and remember reading it before. I see nowhere jobs brought to the Slate Belt only a mention we have a lot of vacant buildings available. Cunningham has done ok for the Allentown Bethlehem area but honestly nothing for the Northern Tier.
DeleteShould have it at NCC as in the past. More centrally located, plenty of parking, and helps an educational faculty, not a frickin hotel.
