She ducked an issue out of fear it might cost a few votes. She has grass roots support and will win, but she demonstrated a real lack of leadership on a quite important issue.

This is a tangent, but related: I was thinking last night, what would folks in the Mayor's office or on Council say to young families who want to move into the City when it comes to the question "how well-funded is the school district?" The answer is "not very." "Well, there's always Sheridan," but that doesn't cut it if you want to live in Strata. <br /><br />Ray O'Connell cares a great deal about the School District, I'm quite sure. And I'm not saying others don't. But really, what can we do to get THAT part of Allentown successful? One thing is to keep Ce-Ce Gerlach on the Board.

I feel now the same way I felt before there was a NIZ, new infrastructure, a scandal, or a JB Reilly: As far as A-town is concerned, for the past 10 years, it has always had an omnious reputation. If you're from a "real" city or metropolitan then you know the percieved dangers and crime ridden streets that dwell in Allentown are over embellished. We do have the element, no doubt. People are getting shot, killed, drugs, etc but it's no where near the capacity of a Philly, Miami, or NYC. The problem has been that no one has ever stepped up to the plate and promoted Allentown as it is: an urban area full of people, culture and talent. City Hall and other hired firms keep trying to sell it as a Mayberry, blue skies and apple pies kind of location. But then when possible businesses and families visit, they see the reality and promptly turn around to Bethlehem or Easton. There is actually nothing wrong with Allentown,PA, we just need leadership that believes in the City just as much as some of us residents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-90076215112243329282015-10-20T09:41:48.801-04:002015-10-20T09:41:48.801-04:005:33, Scared?5:33, Scared?Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-9599803351866293862015-10-20T08:15:40.749-04:002015-10-20T08:15:40.749-04:00I apologize.

Unlike the Blog Mentor, he signs his name. BM is ripping Alfonso Todd, who did quite well as a first time candidate outside the Pawlowski circle. As an independent, Michael Donovan did quite well, too. The Blog Mentor attacked Donovan mercilessly when he discovered he had cancer, hoping that he would die. Of course, he's expressed similar sentiments about Lehigh County's DA. He lied to his facebook readers when he claimed he had scored a first round knock out in Martin's defamation case against him and Bobby Gunther Walsh. In reality, his attempt to dismiss the complaint was denied. He also attacked Donovan's own children and girlfriend. He now is attacking Fegley, whose family brought him some food when he lost his daughter. He is a sad and twisted sould who has become a pariah here in the LV.
