It's been said many of the residents have no stake in Allentown's future since they are transient and come from elsewhere. How much more so too when it's leaders do as well. This is just one more example of that.
Why do WE look elsewhere for someone to watch over out parks? WE don't, but unfortunately too many of US continue to vote for an out of town mayor who has no appreciation for what makes this town great, and his flunkies on council that do his bidding.

Never mind that it was built with our tax dollars, and diverted hundreds of millions from children's health programs. WE need our games to distract us from reality.
Until WE throw those idiots out, WE deserve what we get.
