    An old councilman once told me when Bethlehem Steel was alive and well they offered to pay for a brand new city hall instead of paying their tax levy they were fighting. It was never built because some council members were not going to get any $$$$$ out of the deal and now you know why were stuck with the BIG ORANGE crate.

    Our one year rule for giving a retirement was changed just because it was the mayor's best friend and not only does he RETIRE he gets a take home truck and a PART TIME job out of the deal.The part time job happens to be the same job he retired from.... ONLY IN LACKAWANNA.....this from the same guy who originally was not QUALIFIED because he wasn't an engineer... go figure another rule change again...

    If it was such a "petty little issue" than why did he wait until after his RE-Election?

    And did he say the DPW bought it? Where are the checks and balances? Who authorized this purchase?

    KEY WORD: THE DPW didn't buy the ESCAPE. The TAXPAYERS did.. This guy forgot who really owns the city the TAXPAYER not him.

    There is no checks and balances in Lackawanna. Larry Murphy brought it up in his Front Page article last week and he gets hammered by Warthling and his editor buddy along with his wife and some friend in the letter to editor section. I thought Larry was running against BINKY and that Mulqueen guy. Didn't know he was running against Fran too.Heard that a lawsuit is in the works. Guess you can't question anything in Lackawanna anymore.These guys try intimidating everyone that disagrees.It's the USA not the USSR boys....
