Eichenwald has been a consistent voice for the little guy on City Council, ever since bus routing changes ruined half the little businesses on Hamilton Street. She's the only one there who has not been a bobblehead.

M...It's questionable that it's a BIG issue. Many municipalities around the country are getting water/sewer service on a regional basis. Maybe more than those with self contained systems. <br /><br />The local water/sewer services are currently partly regional. Water is supplied to entities surrounding Allentown. Sewer capacity has been shared for decades.<br /><br />The water generally originates outside the city (Shantz Spring and the rivers).How does Allentown claim the water is all theirs?<br /><br />It's time these local empires are consolidated and regional solutions provided.<br /><br />The term 'control" is heavily used. What do they mean by control? State and federal regs are the driving force in this area. Sewer regs are regional. You can't do what you want locally.LCA has no history of regulatory violations.<br /><br />The gut issue here is political. Some number of people want a form of government (town meeting versus elected reps).<br /><br />Don't make decisions just because you don't like someone in office.Ok the water/sewer oposition has a slate of candidates more to their liking.<br /><br /> Decide if this slate can do a better job of governing. I'm not impressed with the slate. Too much focus by them on an issue that should become regional.Not heavy on qualifications beyond fuzzy talk about desire of representing the "people".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-70008489859271332352013-04-17T08:49:30.244-04:002013-04-17T08:49:30.244-04:00As big as an issue that this really is, the majori...As big as an issue that this really is, the majority of residents in Allentown just don't give a shit. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
