Several sources out of city hall are telling me that the Mayor’s right (or is it left?) hand quit her job aggressively today!! Let’s read through some of them, shall we?
+ “ I heard there was a blow-up fight between those two last month and she’s been looking ever since. “
+ “I was in City Hall, and the fight could be heard down in the 4th floor. He’s been trying to win her back, but she told him she can’t be bought. “
+ “There’s so much drama on the 5th floor. They all hate each other!!!! Everyone knows it and it’s so awkward. “
+ “I overheard a couple employees talking about her quitting. It’s weird but I’m not surprised she’s leaving bc that office is an absolute dumpster fire. “
I mean you should see the stuff I’m getting. I’m not in the business of publishing every tip I get (and boy, would you love that), in fact I dont even like knowing half this shit, but Ortega’s exit is enough for me to question and ask you what is going on here. There’s been zero said about this by the mayor or his spokesperson, but I can’t imagine they can keep a BOMBSHELL exit like this quiet. There’s a lot of crazy shit happening at City Hall.
Let’s mention the negotiations going south, budget drama, the Scott Curtis report that Tuerk is fighting to see the light of day, and the latest and greatest allegations of discrimination from Karen Ocasio and Tawanna Whitehead. If it’s true, there’s no doubt in my mind that Ortega knows the truth about our peewee mayor and is getting out. No sane person would stay inside of a dumpster fire when it's literally on fire.
I don’t want to make this a race issue, but a little birdie also tells me Ortega’s skin color is no coincidence to her departure. Tuerk mistreats black people, there is plenty of proof in lawsuits and NAACP letters that support that claim.
I wonder what that means for Miss Boyer because her skin color is green (allegedly, from a post). I’m taking tips and eating popcorn. What movie am I watching, you ask? The Titanic. I love a good sinking ship. Is Jack being played by Matt and Rose by Boyer?

The LatinX community has always had a fraught relationship the blacks Hermano Tuérk is not immune to this dynamic, many of the blacks in city hall cannot accept that a Caucasian presenting nerdy wonk type could have such a soulful connection to his Latinidad they want to pigeonhole him as a dork dweeb when in reality he is closer to a Bad Bunny type of cool hipster not to mention world class athletic ability this is something the blacks feel possessive about reality is Matt is. A stud
What are you talking about?? You must be a Trumpster .. the blacks?? U are disgusting, how do you refer to people like that? Your Hermano Tuerky is a racist who has 1 black person is his cabinet , whyyyyy bc he hates black people.. the thought of them makes him ill.. he likes Latinos bc according to him he throws a few crumbs to Latinos and they dance.. Matt is Pee Wee that’s who he is
This peewee hermondo turkey needs to take his head out his ass and stick the butt plug back in and come out the closet to his normalcy.
Ms. Ortega was an asset and to me the face of allentown. There should be no reason that she left unless it is really bad there. I would suspect she was either fed up with Matt or left before something really bad happens there. You will be missed. Good luck at your new job.
Genesis Ortega is without a doubt the most professional and levelheaded person in the Mayor’s orbit. I hope the type of behavior that is mentioned above is not correct. It sounds to me like Tuerk has created a very hostile environment in the city and if he doesn’t fire you, his behavior and failure as a leader pushes you out.
Good for Genesis. No matter what I know that she stands for fairness and refused to let Tuerk corrupt her or relax her high morals.
I hope others in the mayor office find a way to get out and leave him with his bestie that keeps him failing.
This is really upsetting news. Ms. Ortega helped me and my husband when we were having difficulties resolving a tax issue. She put us immediately in contact with someone who could help us and she followed up. That is service that is rare in the City Hall. The mayor seems to be putting his confidence in the wrong people while others are "turning" away from him. I do not like what I am seeing in this city.
I am starting to see one thing here. MATT TUERK is one hell of an evil individual. God will take care of him. Evil never prevails.
“Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.”
John 3:20
Hermano Tuérk's Cuban Abuela was afro latina, please stop and check yourself. I've seen Matt play hoops he can hang with the brothers and that's a fact, he has no hate just love even for the nattering nabobs.
This has to be Tuerky talking. It wasn’t his grandmother. Since the beginning of time white folks have made black women raise their children.. that was just his nanny.. please sit down and request his dna test
I said the other day Genesis blink twice if u need help and LOOK!!! Home girl going thru it
Want to see how evil he is wait till the Curtis Report comes out. Hopefully there's away to take him down. Take Rosenfall down with him.
Dont sign the non disclosure either. His dirty secrets need to come out. Screw him.
Very rare not something Michaela Boyer would do..
Yes, Rosenthall has a weird too close relationship with Michaela Boyer.. isn’t he a little old to be friends with her
Ditto
ABE what in the blue hell does everyone in allentown city hall suffer from unaddressed mental illnesses retards running the asylum?
Good Luck Genesis. We will miss you!!! Run and don't look back.
People just need to do their jobs
Genesis is the only one who kept the 5th floor running. The place is on its way to becoming an instant shitshow.
It's the holiday season, publish more tips!
I wish Genesis the best of luck. She will ne a most valuable asset no matter where she goes. It is sad that she is such a guiding light in the city and our stupid mayor didn’t know the diamond he had in her. Big mistake!!
But she will succeed and best of all she doesn’t have to play the mayor’s games anymore.
I have been told it’s both. Tuerk is evil at his core. He plays a part in public for all to see and quickly unmasks in private. He targets, threatens, and removes anyone he feels a threat.
I am sure Miss Ortega saw that close up and found it incredibly difficult if not impossible to be around much longer. May God continue to bless her.
Is this true that she left ? I find it odd the city has said nothing and she is Communications Director. Maybe Matt needs time to figure out how he can spin the narrative so that he doesn’t look like her departure is due to his actions in any way. Or maybe it is rumor and not factual?
I am placing my bet on him concocting a lie in a cheap effort to preserve his reputation.
Instant! Just add a newly promoted Chief of Staff and stir.
Apparently she has gotten a position to serve as public affairs & policy officer with allentown city council per an email to city employees. A newly created senior position.
It's amazing Mayor Tuerk has had so much success despite the plethora or petulant and pusillanimous putzes who seek to undermine his policies. Keep showing up with that cheerful sunny demeanor we all love Matt, the haters are just Uber jelly.
Of course the region's poorest community that needs to raise taxes and fees constantly needs a $100,000 K + staff person to serve as Legislative, Communications and Community Engagement Specialist! It's all part of the "high level of service delivery" to Allentown's residents. Surely the $100,000 K + Director of People & Culture could do the community engagement work (whatever it is).
Great, that position will be 100x better. Less coverups to make public statements about
Can you name all his successes?

Leadership & Vision
Fresh Perspective: Ran on and delivered a promise of new leadership in City Hall, as noted by 90.5 WESA.
Federal Partnerships: Utilized the U.S. Conference of Mayors to connect with federal partners for improved resident outcomes, says
Wow Mayor Matt is really killing it wonder why all the insufferable misthanthropic malcontents can't rally behind their leader?
So Matt what are you accomplishments? You say inclusion, ruining the Halloween parade, Vision Zero- simple a vision. Where are the jobs and all the investments? If we had all of this he wouldnt need to raise taxes.
Everything that you say are PROGRAMS OR IDEAS. WHERE IS THE PROOF ANY OF THIS SHIT ACTUALLY WORKS OR DID ANYTHING FOR THE CITY?? There isnt any
Don't forget that he accomplished getting a no confidence vote.
Thank goodness for the US Conference of Mayors....well worth the $18K the taxpayers pay annually to send the Mayor on junkets and a Conference of Mayors anorak which he wears around - it's so impressive. The citizens are really making out on this deal. in fact, if I were trimming wasteful spending to avoid a tax increase, I'd give him a retired police cruiser to drive around in and cancel the subscription to US Conference of Mayors.

- bunch of word salad. None of those have any real data to back up the claims. The city has continued claims of racism, discrimination, retaliation, hostile work environments, and overreach of management.
Economic Growth & Jobs
Allentown Works: Launched this program to remove barriers to jobs, education, and training, aiming to boost economic stability.
- What barriers have been removed? There hasn’t been an increase of job availability, where are the training programs? Is Allentown economically stable?
Economic Development Focus: Leveraged his extensive background with the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corp (LVEDC) to attract investment and jobs to Allentown.
- Matty was a joke at LVEDC. He was demoted for being a joke and he stayed there because no one wanted him.
Public Safety
Reduced Crime Rates: Implemented strategies for proactive policing, technology, and community involvement, leading to decreases in crime, including homicides.
- that is Roca and his leadership. The dashboard was a waste of time because now we just know crime has happened. What is good about that information? You claim crime is down, but the press doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo.
Vision Zero Commitment: Pushing for federal Safe Streets funding to make streets safer for pedestrians after fatal accidents.
- fancy words again—no measurable accomplishment. The city has not seen safer streets. Fatalities are up year over year.
Community & Inclusivity
Halloween Parade Change: Modified Allentown's historic parade to be more inclusive, ending with a Dia de los Muertos celebration, creating a memorable community event.
- modified Halloween parade to be a shell of what it was previously. The Allentown Halloween event is a joke and claims of being “more inclusive” is laughable. Another example of Matty putting his touch on something and ruining it forever. His claims of the original parade being less diverse were nothing more than a talking point for him in to use during one of his self-promotion events.
First Latino Mayor: Made history as Allentown's first Latino mayor, focusing on community vibrancy and supporting families moving to the city.
- so funny. He thinks this is something worth writing about. He is the first .25% Latino mayor but exploits that and ignores he is Caucasian.
Cinthia Mota will be Allentown’s first Latino Mayor!
Leadership & Vision
Fresh Perspective: Ran on and delivered a promise of new leadership in City Hall, as noted by 90.5 WESA.
- really? The same corrupt individuals that caused Allentown City Hall to be a hostile work environment are still there-he has made no changes. Vicky Kistler, Mark Shahda, Bina Patel, Solicitor’s, Marty Velazquez, Agosto, all still employed and getting raises in fact.
Federal Partnerships: Utilized the U.S. Conference of Mayors to connect with federal partners for improved resident outcomes, says Vision Zero Commitment:
- more like Zero Vision. How has that really panned out too? Improved resident outcomes? I talk to residents, and they all say nothing has improved in Allentown. Before listing statistics make sure they aren’t just fancy words.
I agree with 1:41pm. None of the items on this list have measurable outcomes. Tuerk is all about himself and photo ops and his fake woke agenda.
Tuerk is a Machiavellian narcissist.
Merry Christmas 🎄
In the 40 years that I have lived here, the city has devolved. As the nurses would say, Allentown in circling the drain... (CTD) My block has improved just by shit luck... decent people moved in when the idiots moved out. It's still a crapshoot when home ownership changes. As the old folks pass, the properties become rentals owned by New Yorkers. What a shitshow this city has become, very sorry to state.
