According to Pawlowski, speaking last night to a crowd of constituents there to support Julio Guridy for City Council, the City currently has a $14 million dollar surplus. So, I guess the Blue Ribbon Committee can stop meeting, and we will probably have a tax refund promised before the election.
Can you believe this guy? He brags about a $5 million dollar surplus (funded by borrowing), at a state of the city meeting at Brew Works, then gets called out by the now decrepit Morning Call, and has to admit a $6 million dollar deficit. He forms a Blue Ribbon committee to ponder the problem in secret and report back after the Primary, then has the gall to proclaim an even larger surplus.
He believes his own hype, I guess, but we are not so easily fooled. It is not true just because he says it. We are not so gullible. He is still trying desperately to raise money by selling off City assets; a short term solution that leads to long term problems.
Pawlowski has not yet suggested a plan to bring Allentown back to an equitable state. He prefers to hire consultants and form committees to ponder and report back what they are told to report. There has not been an objective report from the City yet.
You have to admit you have a problem before you can solve it. Pawlowski is still in denial.
By the way, this proclamation of a massive surplus was taped. I am still trying to get a copy of it.
The only surplus is a result of Pawlowski's most successful economic development, his campaign fund.
