This week I took Matt to task twice, allow me to end the week with a trilogy. I question what is really behind his bi-lingual jogging posts? Are there that many Latinos in Allentown who do not understand English, or is the explanation for those bi-lingual posts political pandering?
I'm sure that there are those in the Latino community who will broadcast that Tuerk's Spanish videos show respect. Tuerk self describes as Allentown's first Latino mayor.
Tuerk being bi-lingual could benefit the city, but he would have to deliver much tougher messages than we have heard so far. Being in year five at city hall, he could take the opportunity to put some shine on a rust belt city. Pawlowski tried to ride the NIZ development to Harrisburg or Washington, but got detoured. While I see no such detour for Tuerk, I do see a missed opportunity.
