Fed Ed Slights Allentown Firefighters on Labor Day
Allentown Mayor Edwin "Fed Ed" Pawlowski went out of his way to insult Allentown's Fire Department on, of all days, Labor Day. It' his way of thanking firefighters for daring to tell City Council that they need equipment or people are going to die. It's a passive aggressive shot, too. Exactly the kind to be expected from a girly boy. On his goofy Allentown City Without Limits Facebook page, he posts a picture featuring cops, garbage men, hard hats from a construction site, some lady at an ice cream counter and some pics that appear to be totally unrelated to city workers or Labor Day. Hecompletely omits Allentown firefighters, just as he has repeatedly done in several budgets.
I also see no mention made of the guys who plow the streets or who maintain Allentown's parks and do such an excellent job running several exciting tournaments at which Fed Ed never shows.
But Fed Ed does include a rather bizarre pic at the bottom of his montage of hapless young kids sitting on a flat bed. They look as though they are being carted off to the mines while Fed Ed is in some sort of conga line.

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.
Typical slick Eddie. A subversive piece of propaganda against the firefighters. But still, the uniformed and ignorant population residing in Allentown still believe the con-man is God's gift to Allentown. Good job Bernie at exposing this, however, most of the electorate will never see this. Nat Hyman and O'Connell should capitalize on this with the non-corrupt public. I haven't seen one political message on this crisis from either party. Is this their way of tacitly approving "Fed Ed's" handling of the AFD, or are they prey to his propaganda too.

ReplyDeleteVindictive.
ReplyDeleteBut what is more vindictive is that there is a national holiday for people that work.
What about a national holiday for people that are unemployed? This is unfair!!!
11:17 has the right idea but to be more politically correct, it is called political pandering retribution that could also involve a subordanante to criminal acts of property crimes. vindictive yes and this is the town bully back at those that don't play the campaign donation game nor play with its church on the run carnival act infecting the inner city.
