Why now?
Mayor Leighton cited an arbitrator’s ruling, which he said justified the move after the convicted Glodzik had “exhausted his options for appeal.”
Mayor Leighton cited an arbitrator’s ruling, which he said justified the move after the convicted Glodzik had “exhausted his options for appeal.”
But according to the Times Leader “the city’s justification for finally
dropping the embattled towing contractor seems to be flawed.”
Glodzik’s lawyer says, adding that his client isn’t done fighting his
sentence in a 2014 theft conviction.
Hum, me smells something fishy….
Could this have anything to do with the upcoming election? I know, I
know Lie-A-Ton isn’t running, but is sidekicking, bootlicking, Bobblehead, George Brown is,
and it’s no secret that in a one on one race between Tony George and Bobblehead
Brown, Tony would mop the crime ridden streets with that Bobblehad, but thank goodness
we have two vote splitters in the mix….
Effective immediately, the city has entered into an agreement with
Falzone Towing Service, Inc., which had been the city’s temporary towing
contractor.
The bed hopping city administrator: Greg Barrouk said the contract with
Falzone has essentially the same
terms as the contract with Glodzik, including the same $50,050 annual fee to be
paid to the city. The five-year contract went into effect Tuesday and will be
released publicly today, he said.
One minor difference is the fact that LAG couldn’t charge a fee to
victims of crime for tows/recovery of their cars, and yet Falzone can charge upwards of TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS….
Barrouk said Leighton does not need council approval to award the
contract, nor does he need to put the contract out for bid or seek proposals
because towing is considered a professional service. He noted that Leighton was
the first mayor to put the towing contract out for bid about 10 years ago, even
though he was not required to do so.
So tell us Mr. Bed Hopper why did Lie-A-Ton bid it in the first place?
