Allentown City Council VP Mike Donovan Should Resign or Be Fired

Related Morning Call "newspaper" story  

Readers, in case you missed it in The Morning Call "newspaper" recently, oh so "civil" (wink wink) Allentown City Council vice president Mike Donovan has been "accused" (a.k.a. charged) w/ Criminal Harassment and is also facing a property destruction lawsuit stemming from a surprisingly uncivil rage incident w/ a neighbor. 

According to the neighbor's Criminal Complaint, Cedar Crest College professor Donovan said that "me and Diana" (i.e., Morning Call freelance writer Diana Morse, Donovan's wife) were tired of the neighbor's dog. The neighbor claims that Councilor Donovan rang her doorbell several times last month in a "brutal disturbing way," smashed her front glass door, and repeatedly harassed her and her two children about the family dog-- including storming to her 17 year-old son's place of employment and harassing him there while he was trying to do his job. 

The neighbor's Criminal Complaint also implies that, like a robotic "Stepford Wife" w/ an implant in her brain, Diana Morse enabled her husband's harassing behavior and verbally harassed the neighbor's two children herself as well. 

This is the second time in recent months that seemingly "mellow" (on the outside anyway) Councilor Donovan has been involved with the law. In April, Donovan commanded some teenagers in Bucky Boyle park to stop riding go-carts there or face police wrath so one of the boys punched him in the face. 

Although these two rage incidents are troubling and indicative of an emerging "dark side" to Mike Donovan and his wife, they are merely the last straws that should break the camel's back re: Councilor Donovan, in the always humble opinion of Lehigh Valley Somebody. 

We believe these transgressions are much more troubling ...

Morning Call-Affiliated Hate Bloggers Manipulating Allentown Politics

Readers, for the past year or so, embittered, vendetta-driven 2005 Allentown Mayoral Election loser and South Whitehall Township resident and rabid NeoCon, Mike "3%" (and that's how few votes he got in '05) Molovinsky, has become, incredibly, one of councilor Donovan's "advisors" on matters affecting Allentown. 

Even worse, another of Donovan's insider-access "advisors" is Mayor Pawlowski-Bashing Nazareth PA resident and fellow hate blogger, Bernie O'Hare, co-creator of the shamelessly dishonest, sadistically cruel, and Morning Call-Approved "Troll Parade" blog. 

All three "men" are hand-picked members of Valley Blogosphere, The Morning Call's "newspaper" dissent-quashing and political agenda-framing group assembled by Glenn Kranzley.  

Councilor Donovan: we are judged by the company we keep and you are cavorting w/ and soliciting the counsel of corrosive and divisive out-of-town cretins. And in your spare time, it appears you are smashing the glass front doors of neighbors whose behavior you disagree w/ . 

How uncivil for a City Council VP (for now) to behave.
