Some wrap up and some thoughts

I have been keeping an eye on the new police station or lack there of.. I know I mentioned I heard some rumblings about the cost of the new google looking police station.  Now it would appear the station isnt happening. I say that only because besides the inaugural dirt that was shoveled I have yet to see it started. Is the city looking at other options?

Perhaps renovating the existing police station instead. But here is a stat for you.  The city I am thinking is several million into the police station disaster with nothing to show for. WTF are theses officials doing?  What a waste. Everyday they wait, the price of supplies goes up. Wait it just came to me. I dont think anyone bid to build the project!!! A builder hasnt been put in front of council yet for approval. This is so embarrassing. Build something!!

All the publicity on this shiny glass toilet station for it not to be built.  If this would be true, what is the city going to do with the 3 to 4 million dollars a year they just saved? Could they be gearing up to give the cops a fabulous contract? That would certainly piss the tax payers off. Or maybe taking on another infinite debt like the DROP pension. Remember when Santo Napoli spoke on it saying the city was not in a position to go through with it?  Wonder if he changed his mind? Better hope he didn't or he is going to get slammed on here

How financially in trouble is the city in if they scrap a project they gave away millions too? 

Like I said, I could totally be wrong on this, but for a project that was supposed to have started months ago, I have yet to see anything started. Something isn't right.

Also

Cant the mayor bring back some knowledge on these trips he goes on about how to not waste money.  You would think the tattoo guys he goes to might have some knowledge to share. 

Dreams

Those 13inch pythons are running out of room to get ink. Better not go on any more trips.

Reality

Speaking of it, wheres his travel expense report Frank?

Also

You can now get your weed on Lehigh St. too. Thanks to a new dispensary that opened.  You know just what Allentown needs. I only say that because I'm sure not everyone leaves the parking lot without taking a hit.  You know gotta calm your nerves before you drive. There is a dispensary on Emaus Ave about one mile from the new location.  So plenty of it on the southside.

Also

Everyone knows about the two homicides that happened on Tuesday night.  Where's the love? Where's Promise Neighborhoodz anti-gun violence people at? Council gives them hundreds of thousands of dollars but what is there to show for? 

Also

Its getting colder.  Soon we will hear about how city officials are going to push the homeless out of their camps or what they plan on doing to help them. Probably both. But we all know they will talk about doing something throughout the winter until it warms up, then forget about it.

Nothing proactive ever comes out of council, the mayors office or the police department.  Always reactive.

Final point

I like to stay in county for what I talk about,  but how bout that crazy Northampton county executive wanting a 43.5% property tax increase. 

Does she have a pair of balls on her coming in that high. What is really the problem with these cities and counties?  They spend, spend, spend because it isnt there money.  WTF to they care.  Every city and county should be audited quarterly or yearly but a firm in another state.  Lets see where the money is really going.  Its sickening.  I mean the Federal gov and State taxes are becoming dismal compared to county, borough, school, and city tax. How is anyone supposed to buy weed on Lehigh St at the dispensary?  Soon there wont be any homicides because no one will have enough money for a gun let alone the damn bullets.  Just flip flop the two.  Guns really cheap and bullets like $50 a round.  You wont see gangstas running thru a clip.  It would cost $600!!! Lol.

The spending is out of control.
