Few Quick Thoughts About Allentown And The Lehigh Valley

Ticket Sales For The PPL Arena Events
Is there any point in having an expensive arena built that doesn't offer ticket advantages or property taxes to locals?


911 Consolidation
Harrisburg wants Allentown & Bethlehem's 911 centers to consolidate into the counties. Eventually into an entire Lehigh Valley region wide network. Just suppose somebody calls in for an emergency on "Main Street"... how many "Main Streets:" do you suppose there are in each?


Allentown's NIZ
National Penn and PPL's energy divisions have been bought out. Will this have a major impact on future Allentown's revenues and the number of jobs a few years down the road?


Future Train Proposals
'Rails To Trails' or 'Trails to Rails"?
I wish they'd make up their minds.


LVIA
It's called an international airport. Is there one flight out of there to another country?


The Mayor Is Under A FBI Investigation
Will it matter one bit to voters in the next election?


Is It ASD's Fault or Allentown's City Government's...
Why the schools students are the way they are?


Are Government Leaders In The Lehigh Valley To Blame?
Or those who live here for why things are the way they are?
