A Message From Allentown's Former DCED Director

Betsy Morris Levin: "Please if you are an Allentown registered voter do not vote for mayor Ed Pawlowski [today]. All politicians are not corrupt. But he is. I have experienced it firsthand. I am voting for Ray O'Connell. He is a tough and smart public servant. I think that he is the candidate with the ability and experience to hit the ground running."

    Best comment ever: "Time to turn Mr. Potato Head into a tater turd."

    Agree with Betsy Levin about Ed, but it would have been nice to hear this from her about 10 years earlier.

    I also like Ray, but he had a role in almost every problem he now chides Pawlowski for. Who was approving those budgets that allowed the fire department's equipment to deteriorate?

    The budgets called for equipment, but Fed Ed would not spend it.

    If that's the case, why did Mr. O'Connell wait until an election year, when he was running for Mayor, to start talking about the issue?

    Again, I like Ray and he'd be better than Ed, but I'm having a hard time believing he's been anything more than a rubber stamp for most of his term as councilman.

    O'Connell was Ed's rubber stamp for years in City Council.

    Agreeable! A vote for Ed is a vote for impending disaster.

    Which opponent of the mayors had the integrity to step down and give their support to another candidate to rid the city of its malaise?
    NONE!

    Betsy should have spoken up years ago. Too late now. O'Connell rubberstamped everything Pawlowski wanted.
