Allentown City Council... a joke

 How can these people even call themselves a council? At last nights meeting, I watched the Finance director Bina Patel claim there was a $300,000 surplus in the budget. So instead of saving it, they had council vote on giving this money to another non-profit. This non-profit is supposed to better downtown by somehow getting more people to come spend money there. Then these two guys claim the money spent downtown will trickle out to other businesses in the city.  What!!! This is Never going to stimulate the economy outside the NIZ zone or probably within it.  These two guys just took $300k of taxpayer money and council bought their bullshit scheme.

Then out of budget season once again the slimy mayor got council to vote yes to give some of his people ridiculous raises.  One raise was like $10k.  Council and this mayor are going to bankrupt the city. Disgusting to just keep throwing tax money to these people.

Could Ms. Patel be anymore arrogant? How can you have a surplus of $300,000 but wanted to raise taxes by 7% last year? It's funny, she always says we transferred money from here to there. So basically your asking for more money in less suspicious accounts to later use it for things that would put up a red flag if you asked for the funds at budget time. Dirty

Patel was an important cog in the Ed Pawlowski crime scene. Without Patel in place Mayor Pawlowski could not have pulled off his criminal game as well as he did. Patel was an key unindicted coconspirator in that dark time in Allentown history.

The corruption goes back to when Susan Wild was working for the city of Allentown as “General of the Fraud dept” She should be investigated and put in Prison just like Obama should be. The current Mayor is as woke as they come. a complete disgrace to the entire city.

Sweep Tickets Truth

You always hear Chief Roca and Mayor Tuerk talk about Sweep Tickets.   They claim if you swim in our waterways you can get a $100 Sweep tick...
