At last week's meeting, Council was poised to adopt a resolution thanking the FBI for their work in weeding out corruption at City Hall. But Council President Roger MacLean had it reduced to a Proclamation.and then refused to sign it. Also refusing to sign were Courtney Robinson and Candida Affa.
These three amigos just happen to be the ones who voted 11 times to install Charlie Thiel, and not Ray O'Connell, as Mayor.
Knowing that they refused to thank the FBI should shed a little light on how they view political corruption.
This is why Allentown needs REPUBLICANS on City Council and not just the same Gang of Democrats that voted in lockstep with Pawlowski's policies. The only reason they were shocked was when the FBI came in the door and found out there was corruption going on; then they couldn't denounce Ed fast enough.
ReplyDeleteSo get off your ass and run for office!!! You are so quick to hang Pawlowski yet you ignore EVERY.SINGLE.THING that Trump does!! The FBI investigated two and a half years before Pawlowski went to trial, Trump administration has international financial dealings to deal with in addition to his total ineptness and disdain for transparency and decorum. Cohen will turn into Pavarotti soon enough and Trump hired the only attorney left who will do his bidding. He won’t get paid, but he’ll smile when he kisses Trump’s size 48 waist.

The Allentown swamp, like most large cities, loves the fringe benefits of handling a lot of other peoples money.
ReplyDeleteSo where is Ed working?
ReplyDeleteLet see, Former Chief of Police Roger MacLean received almost $370,000 from the Pawlowski DROP pension program, Affa was initially supported by Pawlowski in her run for City Council and held fundraisers for Club Fed Ed at her bar, and Courtney Robinson was a donor to the disgraced one and was politically promoted by the Friends of Ed Pawlowski. Charlie Thiel was a member of "pay to play" on the city police camera deal and donated, at least twice [$700], to Fed Ed. Corruption is still valued at city hall by this cabal on city council.
ReplyDeletewhen you have sugar you bring forth the "flies"....
ReplyDeleteWhat a sick world... we now have to "thank" a law enforcement agency and proclaim them for doing what they are sworn to and paid to do.... Only a matter of time before we will be a communist country.
ReplyDeleteStop the madness.... The FBI should be embarrassed and insulted that this crew of elected bozo's want to even do this-
Is it normal to thank the FBI after an investigation of this kind? It seems like a weird and pointless exercise. Council needs to focus on Allentonw, not bullshit.
ReplyDeleteIt is not normal for an investigation of this kind to take place. I do think that a simple thank you, sent by Council would be a demonstration that the City is moving on. It does focus on Allentown, and is far from bullshit. I don't know who the hell you think you are, but your remark betrays a complete tone deafness to what has been going on. Worse yet, that tone deafness exists in Maclean, Robinson and Affa. This attitude is one in which the corruption can continue, and makes me wonder about you.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 7:24 AM I understand that Fed Ed is working for John Karoly. PEas in a pod.....
ReplyDeleteDo nothing MacLean, Affa, and Robinson should be ashamed of themselves for not signing the proclamation thanking the FBI. But let's remember as stated above that these three are tied to the disgraced one. Their time on City Council should be over at the next election because of their support of him.
ReplyDelete"Anon @ 7:24 AM I understand that Fed Ed is working for John Karoly. PEas in a pod....."
ReplyDeleteNot true.
The Mann Mafia, and their Republican overlord, Pat Browne, all need to be removed from office. Courtney is the worst of them, a total fraud and sycophant that sees politics as purely an avenue of personal advancement.
ReplyDeleteMOre than a thank you, it's an acknowledgement that the city has a problem. It's the first step in a 12-step program. Most voters and some on council can't admit the city has a problem and it will not begin the road to recovery until they do. Allentown isn't healing. Allentown hasn't begun to heal.
ReplyDeleteWhy should they kiss the FBI's ass? Stop this bullying nonsense.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Convict Ed working?
ReplyDeleteBernie, will you be handing the bottle of snake oil off to the nue circus carnival workers on council. You could run a auction on eBay to sell that piece of memorabilia to the highest bidder of the Z zone creation compliments of capitol start up fundz from Allentown's infamous falling water war that was to be the pension CURE?
ReplyDeletehahaha what a laugh
republican redd
not a party favor
Courtney is every bid as stupid as Affa and Mota.
ReplyDeleteAllentown is said to be a City without Limits ... But it does have political limits so up here in the Mountain I am only a spectator now to what will be going on in the Allentown City Council in the future... Therefore this one as an internal matter ... Internally I am amused ...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is that Courtney Robinson could not afford the house he lives in on 1507 Turner st. His girlfriend Stephanie bought it and then he moved his mom and her boyfriend in. The dude can’t take of his own financial bills, but votes on the budget of the city. Therefore we have a member of city council deciding on how to spend property taxes, but does not pay any himself.
