Stephen Althouse | WFMZ 69 News

"Tuesday night's special Allentown City Council meeting lasted 11 minutes but proved a few minutes too long for Mayor Ed Pawlowski... the mayor decided to exit before council did what everyone expected them to do - vote to override the mayor's veto..."

I'm not sure how vindictive the mayor can be-- but living down the street from council President Ray O'Connell may not bode well for us getting our street plowed this winter :-)

This picture of the Mayor in Emily Opilo's Morning Call article sure captured the angry mayor's rather intimidating stare towards council. At times it appears he can be one scary dude when things don't go his way.
