ref: Residents who support modifying the police budget
- Good for LVGNA [Lehigh Valley Good Neighbors Alliance] people for recognizing the threat to the police planned by Council & alerting neighbors.
- Bias?
- Nelson got 11 minutes to drone on, while Waldron cut into Ragni before 5 minutes — why???
- Yeah, Waldron consistently favors Stand UP [Lehigh Valley Stands Up] callers. Back in that long meeting he called down Ragni while letting Ochs go on & on for over 15 minutes.
- Ochs was meeting behind the scenes with some of the council members.
- Why did they [other Council members] make Callahan the villain?
- Yeah, all Callahan did was point out what was said.
- At the July 7th meeting they [Council members] accommodated LVSU [Lehigh Valley Stands Up] demands, including complete abolish[ing] of policing.
- LVSU put the pressure on meeting after meeting.
- They [LVGNA] were accused of fear mongering? There was reason to fear police defunding based upon this radical group pulling the strings of council.
- Yeah, it was only Tuesday night they said they were not going to put forth an amendment!!!
- If they’d said that before, it would have been a different story Tuesday.
- Yeah, LVGNA would have been fools not to speak out to defend the police.
- Since the BLM protests . . .
