You gotta love this arrogant guy. "I am the mayor, hear me roar." This is what everyone hears.
Per WFMZ:
So Council is supposed to give its stamp of approval, something that hasn't happened yet, but Tuerk said the law doesn't have any penalty if you break it.
"It doesn't say, or else, alright? There's no, there's nothing in the Home Rule Charter that says what happens if Council fails to adopt a budget," said Tuerk.
Actually, it does. And I wrote on it days ago. Simply, there is no budget for the following year and council and the mayor must come up with one, and of course pass it.
He's a great leader. Lets not follow the rules. Just say I dont interpret them the same. But he always talks about leadership. This is why the city is a shitshow. Everyone in the surrounding areas tune in to see what problems Allentown has today. Now Pennsylvanians can talk about the Mayor who doesnt follow the city"s rules because he says it isnt breaking the law. I wonder what Shapiro thinks?
When you mention Mayor Tuerk:
I guess all the city employees should just sit around and do nothing. When their boss tries to push their weight. Just say I'm citing the Matt Tuerk rule, "it isnt breaking the law."Then Napoli Tuerks shadow, starts his Presidency at council already breaking the rules. Says he doesnt know when council will finalize a budget, but we should sometime. Napoli you should stick to coaching a fantasy football league.
He says per WFMZ:
So for now, the roughly 4% real estate tax increase, and the roughly 20% increase in the trash collection fee, are going to stand, but Council Chair Santo Napoli said eventually, the budget needs to be approved.
Ultimately, we have to do something. We have to figure this out and finalize it," said Napoli.
But Napoli didn't put a timeline on it because he said, with new members on the board, there's a lot to discuss.
Chapter 1. Ethics
Chapter 2. How to follow the rules
Whats there to figure out? Daddy wants his budget, so do it. Follow his rules, not the Home Rule Charter.
I will say it again, Allentown's leadership is more and more of a joke. I cant ever write anything positive because the damn place wont allow me too. Constant joke.
This is clearly corruption 101 and now city council is following. Tuerk wants to talk about how the city treats people fairly and it is a great place to live an work. Blah blah. Only a hypocrite would say that. He does as he pleases and as a result his employees are jumping ship before it sinks.
Here should be City Hall's new slogan for 2026.

Turkey was behind me today in the electric machine picking his nose and eating boogies! This is your mayor Allentown I will watch tonight's meeting for a good laugh before bed.
Napoli will have no clue on how to be President. Your prediction about him will be obvious sooner than expected.
However, he is following Hendricks so how much of a clue does he need to look good?
Napoli: as a business owner myself, if you need your parking ticket stamped please come see us before you leave๐๐ that’s all he knows.. this should be interesting
We have to figure this out. No shit Sherlock. Do us all a favor. Stick to selling t-shirts and sandals.
Only in Allentown could this happen and yet who besides this blog is even talking about this, reporting on this, or caring about this? Stupid is as stupid does, apathy is as apathy does...
Council needs to act and take the mayor to court. If they fail to do this why are they even there?
This is clearly a shot across the bow of hall of fame boutique blogger Mike Molovinsky who's blog your no longer participating in. Do better Scooter!
Mambo Monkey, insult is not reason, it is the opposite of reason. Come up with an argument or it may be assumed insults are all you have. Perhaps next time you say "do better", you should be in front of a mirror.
