On May 20, at his poorly written and ironically titled blog, "Inclusion by Michael Donovan," recently tenured Cedar Crest College Ethics Professor and Allentown City "Councilor" Mike Donovan (hiding behind the safety of his computer monitor) launched this wobbly and shrieking 'scud missile' at Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski that (predictably) made our local right wing nut-pandering "newspaper" ... ''I am tired at [sic] seeing how cowardly you are not [sic] to come to council meetings,'' Donovan wrote. ''If I were mayor, I would have the GUTS to occasionally come to council and answer questions and cooperatively discuss city strategy.''
Not surprisingly it was Mayor Pawlowski's astute (and grammatically correct) comeback that scored the devastating direct hit ...
''[Donovan] chooses to attack in a very passive aggressive fashion, through emails, and blog entries,'' Pawlowski wrote. ''True courage is to confront your opponents with issues face to face and not through the Internet, that takes real guts.''
Well said, Mr. Mayor.
Mr. Donovan: do you have the GUTS to answer some questions, and confront me, face to face?
You have that opportunity, you know, by requesting a hearing in front of the Board of Ethics of the City of Allentown regarding the ethical complaint I filed against you ...
It is the employee or official against whom the complaint is made that has the option to request a hearing:
"Employer or official involved in the request shall have the opportunity within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the request to respond in writing, to make a written request for a hearing or to do both... The Board shall upon receipt of a request for a hearing within the period above referred to by the official or employee involved set a time and place for the hearing for the purposes of determining the facts." Sections 171.09(H) and (I).
Mr. Donovan: do you have the GUTS to answer some questions, and confront me, face to face?
I'd like to hear your answers regarding why you are publishing comments at your blog about my grief-stricken family that are offensive, sadistically cruel, false, and clearly libelous.
Several comments invite readers of your blog to believe that I engage in necrophilia with my deceased daughter. Why would you do that to us, Mr. Donovan?
Other blog comments published by you falsely and libelously claim that I'm a “convicted criminal” who has made "terroristic threats against the Lehigh County District Attorney" and that I've "threatened to kill" employees of The Morning Call newspaper. What were you thinking when you published these clearly libelous comments, Mr. Donovan?
Practice what you screech, Mike.
REQUEST A HEARING IN FRONT OF THE ALLENTOWN ETHICS BOARD.
Do you have the GUTS to answer some questions, and confront me, face to face?
The electorate is watching and waiting for your answer.

Subject Heading: Unhinged Blogger Michael Donovan
Morning Call:
Saturday's Morning Call story, "Blog post blasts Allentown Mayor" would have been an appropriate time for your newspaper to finally report on something you've known about for weeks now, and that is the Michael Donovan-blogging-related fact that Cedar Crest College Ethics Professor and Allentown City Council VP Michael Donovan is currently under investigation by the Board of Ethics of the City of Allentown for his blogging activities.
This sensational fact would have snuggled in there very nicely w/ the rest of your story about passive/aggressive blogger Donovan.
Q. If a sitting (for now) City Council VP/blogger questioning the Mayor's GUTS is "news" ... how is it not related (and newsworthy) news that this same City Council VP is under investigation by the Allentown Ethics Board for publishing blog comments directed against a grief-stricken Allentown family that are offensive, sadistically cruel, false, and clearly libelous?
How and why is the Allentown Ethics Board's investigation of Michael Donovan not relevant and not newsworthy?
Allentown voters are entitled to know about this Donovan/Ethics investigation, and a newspaper has a responsibility to inform the electorate.
Why is The Morning Call quashing this story about Michael Donovan and the Allentown Ethics Board?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Readers, I am currently forwarding my "Unhinged Blogger Donovan" email to the thousands of people in my email address book, including (for example) everyone on Allentown City Council, every local elected official, everybody listed here, all local media, Express-Times, 69 News, etc., etc., etc.
Forget it. Donovan would rather lurk in the back of a courtroom or in the safety of the blogosphere than face Villa man to man at a hearing.

Donovan's "bold" cameo appearance in Judge Reibman's court in support of libel defendant O'Hare was clearly orchestrated by O'Hare & Donovan to provoke me-- same way O'Hare duped pusillanimous attorney (for now) Dave Najarian into co-provoking me at their Troll Parade blog for 2 years.
It's amazing how many O'Hare-Duped Dunces are still out there running free (for now).
Speaking of which ...

Subject Heading: You made my day, Jim, thanks (from Bill Villa)
DA Jim, such a pleasant surprise spotting you waddling to your smashed-up car in the parking lot of Lehigh Country Club on Sunday afternoon. By the way, that was Sheena's mom, Sheena's stepmom, and Sheena's three brothers who were with me.
So Jim, what the heck happened to your black Cadillac SUV? The driver's side was all side-swiped a bright green color like you took out a fence or a row of hedges or something after a night at the Hogan's Club. Note: I have cc'd Allentown Chief of Police Roger MacLean on this email, just in case there's an unsolved DUI hit and run that fits your description.
But anyway, Jim, you sneered a question at me, before hurriedly getting in your vehicle, locking the door, putting the window up, and peeling the heck out of there wearing wet panties.
You sneered: "What are YOU doing here Villa?"
Well sorry to penetrate your crony sanctuary Jimbo, but I was at Lehigh Country Club celebrating my mom's 85th birthday, and I wish you would have given me a chance to answer your question and get a conversation going w/ you instead of running away (pusillanimously) like you did. Sheena's mom and stepmom both remarked on how nervous and "all shook up" you obviously were upon seeing me.
And I really liked that. A lot. You made my day Jim. Thanks.
But next time, please stick around a bit as we have lots to talk about-- such as your upcoming unsuccessful 2011 reelection campaign.
Sincerely,
Bill Villa

Something tells me the Morning Call won't be reporting on this either :)
"What are YOU doing here Villa?"
What a thing to say. Elitist? Paranoid? And typical "Team O'Hare, after provoking....running away. And probably to his office to aprove charges agunst you. What a douche.
I think Jimbo was just so flabbergasted seeing me standing there grinning at him (like I was watching a clown at the circus) that he didn't know what to say. So he insulted me and then high-tailed it the hell out of there and he must have been doing like 50MPH in the parking lot. Tough guy. Running away. I loved it. I didn't have to say one word ... although I certainly had some at the ready, if Jim was ready to be a man. Not a chance.
O ... M ... G!
What a cinematic moment! Jim Martin meets Bill Villa out in the wide open Real World!!!
And how tellingly it played out!
Of course, Jumbo will have been informed by now (by his stooges trolling here) of why Bill Villa was at The Lehigh Country Club that Sunday.
But, dear readers, imagine if you will the chaotic panic in Jumbo's mind at that moment.
"Villa is now stalking me! He's insane! He's tracking me! What's next? He slashes my tires? He ... shoots me???"
F - inf ... hi ... lar ... i ... ous.
OMG - imagine his mind racing all through the drive home. The rest of his Sunday. He could not have been able to think of anything else.
Made my day. My week. My month. Year? Well, it is only May.
Merci. Glad you enjoyed this as much as I did.
Some backstory ...
about 20 minutes before my close (but not nearly close enough for my taste) encounter w/ Jumbo Jimbo, Angie and my youngest sister had (almost literally) run into Jim Martin who was snorting and barreling his way through the lobby. I had recently exited the men's room and (the gals told me later) missed running into Martin in the lobby by about 15 seconds. The gals immediately reported the Martin sighting to everyone in our party ... excluding yours truly ... their strategy being to prevent me from encountering Jim Martin there.
But as they say, some things are meant to be, and everything happens for a reason, so as we were walking to our car ... I spotted this huge elephant waddling in parallel to me ... and shortly thereafter Martin wet his panties and fled the scene at a clearly illegal, reckless, and dangerously high speed. He could have easily killed a pedestrian in the parking lot, while trying to look like a "powerful" big shot. Jim Martin's a big shit. And a total pussy. And he knows that I know this about him.
You and Angie should join Lehigh Country Club.
I couldn't abide by the dress code, sorry.
Not to go "off topic" or anything (LOL) but have you heard from Donovan? Will he be accepting the "Bill Villa Challenge" and requesting a hearing in front of the Allentown Ethics Board?
"heard from Donovan?"
Of course not, but I do see Donovan (who's allegedly "away") nervously and self-consciously posting grammatical nightmare 1000-word comments at other blogs and his own ... so he's out there blogging ... just not here :)

If Jim Martin was a "quality person" with a clear conscience, he wouldn't have said anything to Bill upon seeing him at the Country Club. Martin's comment {What are YOU doing here Villa?} reveals Martin's fear, insecurity, feelings of inferiority, guilt, and Jim's specialty, inappropriateness, and stupidity. It was likely the booze talking but that's no excuse.

9:43am, Phone Call, Incoming, from reporter Jarrett Renshaw, The Morning Call ...
Jarrett was returning my Voice Mail Message and email from yesterday.
We actually had what I would call a pleasant, cordial, and informative conversation (a set-up? stay tuned).
Turns out Renshaw is way ahead of me in terms of information on the Donovan/Ethics Board story.
Renshaw told me there was a meeting of the Ethics Board yesterday in the 5th floor conference room of City Hall. It had been announced in the newspaper, "Public Notice," as per requirements. Reporters look for this sort of thing, Renshaw told me, so that's how he knew about it.
The aggrieved party, yours truly, was of course not notified about this meeting (maybe Jim Martin showed them a loophole saying that notifying me wasn't required by law?)
Renshaw told me he was the only attendee ... (wha? no Team Casey/O'Hare?!) and that he was asked to leave when the session started.
I asked Renshaw why the Ethics Board's investigation of Donovan for his blogging activities against my grief-stricken family was not included in Saturday's article about blogger Donovan's blog rant against Mayor Pawlowski. Rensahw said it was an "editorial decision" to not include it, something he has no control over. Renshaw then said he has been following the Donovan/Ethics Board story (and presumably here at LVS cuz nobody else is covering it) and that he has been planning a separate story on it and that he considered Saturday's Donovan/Pawlowski story a smaller story than the Donovan/Ethics Board story ... is the impression I got. We'll see. Renshaw said he'd be calling me back maybe later today for some quotes, as the Ethics Board told him they'd be issuing an Advisory Opinion soon.
I asked Renshaw if he had any influence w/ Dave Erdman who I've been trying to meet w/ for 3 years, and Renshaw chuckled and said, no, that he was "just a plebeian" and that I'd have to take that up w/ Dave Erdman myself.
I'm smelling a full-bore alliance of coalition forces (MC, DA, Ethics Board, BOH) all bearing down together to squash "VILA" once and for all, once.
Me too.
But (FYI) they're grossly over-matched.
"Renshaw then said he has been following the Donovan/Ethics Board story"
Bill, this reminds me of how MC reporter Manny Gamiz was "folowing" your story, wink wink. How Gamiz knew all about the precedent PA cases reguarding third degree murder for DUI deaths but never rteported on any of them so you'd look "nutty" for saying third dregee murder applied in Sheena's killing. Same with the Bobby LeBarre Belize vacation, and DA Martin secretly moving the next court proceeding up 10 days and not notifying your family. Manny Gamiz knew all this.............but I guess there was an "editorial decision" to not publish any of it.........

I'm going to bet either:
1) Morning Call reporter Jarrett Renshaw is baiting you ala Manny Gamiz (noted above) or
2) He is what he appears, and if so, had better get his resume together.
We'll find out in tomorrow's (Wednesday's) Morning Call.
Renshaw called back and asked me some questions about my Donovan/Ethics Board Complaint.
He asked me to not write about the details of our 2nd phone call today, before tomorrow's article comes out ... and I'll honor his request (for now).
I will report that I ended our 2nd conversation today by saying, "I'm assuming you're working up a hatchet job on me."
Jarrett said ... in so many words ... that he wasn't.
We'll see, tomorrow.

"I'm assuming you're working up a hatchet job on me."

Villas, irregardless of what's in the "paper" tomorrow, for taking on the powers that be around here (for now) you win.
WORTH REPEATING DEPARTMENT
So surprise me Ethics Board, and restore my faith in Allentown's incestuously crony-connected institutions, by stepping out of character, and giving my wife Angie and me the justice we deserve, regarding the outrageous ethical violations that have been perpetrated against our grief-stricken family by Michael Donovan.
Make Allentown proud of you and not ashamed of you.
Sincerely,
Bill Villa
Angie Villa
My Take...
FACT: The Morning Call has been proactively ignoring all of DA Jim Martin's and all of the local (Morning Call-affiliated) blogosphere's injustices perpetrated against Sheena's family, including three court cases, so far.
Is it just a coincidence that the "newspaper" is finally covering one tiny aspect of it all (Donovan) less than 48 hours after Jim Martin (and Chief MacLean) read Bill's priceless email on Monday morn? Inquiring minds want to know.
Over & Out...
Bill -
Did you mention to Jarrett how many times a day LVS is visited by The Tribune's ISP?
Anybody want to take a guess at what the LVS hit count from The Tribune will be the day the Donovan story runs?
LVO, in speaking w/ Renshaw, I got the impression that many of the recent Tribune IP visits to LVS were his. It's a proxy server or whatever you call it-- i.e., whenever anyone from the Tribune visits here, it registers as one of only 2 IP addresses. So 100 different Morning Callers could be visiting LVS. Or, maybe just two obsessive/compulsives.
LCD, very astute observation (as always) and timing's everything.
FooX2, some faith restoration would be nice.
City O, merci.
Guess I'll have to buy a newspaper tomorrow ...
