After dinner I was catching on up with them all, and while reading Lehigh Valley Ramblings I learned that at Tuesday nights' City Council meeting Councilman Pete Schweyer (Pictured at left with my so-so state representative) had suggested that the City end the Yuletide crap in the park.
HOO-FUCKIN-RAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a fuckin' boondoggle that clusterfuck in the park is! They ruin Little Lehigh in the Winter with that crap! I hope they do this, and bag all that light crap!
Pete Schweyer, you are my hero! Now do something about your boss, will ya? She ain't that bright either.
i wouldn't count too much on pete, he has yet to vote against the mayor. he lives in the park vicinity and may well be giving lip service to his discontented neighbors. no dept. was harder hit by the SEIU layoff's than park, having lost 17 people. their entire energy must now be spent setting up the lights, at the expense of other chores.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Peter Schweyer of Bonusgate fame!
ReplyDeleteYou know, alleged campaign work on state time. Whatever happened with that?

Folks may not realize the Lights start in late October and remain through mid-January.
The wires and stands are dangerous to parkgoers who may not be able to see the almost invisible strands and even with orange tape affixed to the wires, the tape disappears as winter weather hits the region
and that doesn't take into account the broken bulbs that litter the park's grasses causing their own danger to dogs and young children.
We also do not believe Schweyer will do anything. We have yet to see him take an active position against anything city hall.
Imagine the stress on the park workers with 17 of them gone to install this enormously time-consuming project every fall. Now the city has been forced to hire an outside electrician. At what cost is that? Maybe you can find out. Most union electricians have set fees.

ReplyDeleteThis is funny since the Lights are already up.
What's his point?

ReplyDeleteI forgot about schweyer and bonusgate. He should talk about that and explain, I would like to hear his side of it.
ReplyDeleteIf this is the last year of that sacrilege in the parkway, I would not complain.
Bill Villa, please keep your hate of other bloggers on your own blog. Why don't you and your OLD Lady crawl back under the Mayors desk with that Fleck jerk and stay busy keeping the mayor happy.
