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.
Since ANIZDA is looking to spend $2 M of NIZ funds for street lighting and sidewalk repairs, ( MC May 22, 2017) why don't they also try for a new Aerial Truck. That money would be that much less for developers but their buildings are a big part of the need for new aerial fire trucks.
ReplyDeleteUntil Allentown is smart enough to vote Pawlowski out, I have no sympathy.
ReplyDelete2:29 I agree!
ReplyDeleteI blame this problem on Mayor Pawlowski and I blame white super voters who live in the wealthy West End for the Mayor Pawlowski problem because I read the racist Molovinsky's hate blog and, because of that, I know dog whistles when I hear them.
ReplyDeleteBut wait I thought it was only a political stunt.
ReplyDeleteThis is getting tiresome O'Hare. You caught in a creative rut? Are we talking possible sabotage?
ReplyDeleteFirst we were told it was just political. Now it is "tiresome." ... Until it's your house that's on fire.
ReplyDeleteBernie, just a better implication 509 7th street value seita' the late great Tom Stupak's property management? What was the collective collaborative cause clause ruling on that one! The flames were shooting through two lanes of traffic!
DeleteBlame the uniformed Center City dwellers and the deluded Eastside voters for this! The slickster "Fed Ed", Mayor for life, is alive and back to his old self; arrogant, lying, and vindictive. You wanted him Allentown and most likely your stuck with him in the long run.
ReplyDeleteMeeting at city hall at 5:00 today Come find out the truth from city hall
ReplyDelete7:22 What is a "White Super Voter" ?
ReplyDeleteThis is getting so tiresome. Pawlowski has been re-elected. Get over it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the informative meeting today at 5:00?
ReplyDeleteIf the union is so concerned, why don't they go on strike?
ReplyDelete1969 Act 111 precludes police and fire from striking.
ReplyDeleteI lay the blame squarely on City Council. They are the ones responsible for the budget cuts to the fire department.
ReplyDeletethe Mayor only proposes a budget, City Council Cuts and Cuts and Cuts
10:45 The law can't prevent them from being sick.
ReplyDeleteThe idea is to not further hurt the citizens and add to the Public Safety Crisis the city is currently in. The idea is to bring awareness to the fact that mismanagement of the city has and will continue to be the genesis of the Crisis.
ReplyDeleteThis problem won't go away overnight, even if the city decided to purchase an aerial truck today. You don't go to the fire truck sales lot and say "I'll take that one". Unless used or demo apparatus is purchased, it's going to take 1 year from the time of commitment to delivery.
ReplyDelete^When I said "commitment", I mean from the day it it ordered.
