Despite his connection to Fattah he is a very capable individual and has connections for campaign support.

All of his proposed salary increases for the Public Works Director, Police Chief, & Fire Chief were denied by 6-1 votes. In the beginning of the year, Allentown City Council unaminously passed a resolution of no confidence in the Mayor and called for his resignation. Last night's Council meeting supported that vote. It also showed who the Mayor's staunch supporters are on City Council, Candida Affa & Julio Guridy. Julio ia up for re-election next year. He has proven time and time again that he is not for the citizens. He accepted money for his campaigns for City Council from Mayor Pawlowski. So did Candida. But she is in her first year on Council and we are stuck with her for another 3 years.

They'll follow this crook to his grave. I was glad to see that some of his past supporters on council and some of the new talent voted against Mr. Fattah's unqualified right-hand man.<br /><br />When the rotund self anointed Polish Prince raised the useless former Chief's salary to $130,000, [approximately $28,000 more than the former Chief of Police made], a sheepish and blind supporting council backed this outlandish proposal. On top of that, they gave him a $9,000 raise the next year: All in the name of diversity and Fed Ed's political aspirations for higher office!<br /><br />Maybe, just maybe, there seems to be a shimmering light in Allentown politics once again.
