Allentown's Renaissance is seeing the loss of another local business, A-Treat, with
97 jobs. Corporate welfare, in the form of LERTAs, TIFs, KOZs, CRIZs and NIZs, are handed out like candy to developers like J.B. Reilly. After all, they are known for their hefty campaign contributions. But a business that simply tries to deliver an inexpensive product is ignored.
This business is located in State Rep. Michael Schlossberg's district. Maybe he can let company representatives
attend his blogging boot camp for free.
