However, that lasted only for about 20 minutes. Mayor Tuerk made some calls, and those roads were promptly reopened.
"If they can't put a big corral on that, you're going to have a line here out 5,000 people, 6,000, 7000 people will be in the line waiting to get in," vendor, Tony Matt, said.
Tuerk says he wants Allentown to be welcoming, regardless of political affiliation — but not without the proper permits.
"They didn't have permission from PennDOT," Tuerk said. "And I'm following PennDOT's rules on PennDOT roads."

I wonder how many teachers will be getting paid to protest the rally...
If the protestors are masked, I’m betting many are public employees there on the public’s nickel.
Betcha..
I cannot imagine how tired the PA residents must be of all of this crap.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Judging by the large numbers of people going to his rally’s there, they don’t seem to be tired at all.
And guess what, if the district does it right, by declaring an emergency, the district won’t lose any state aid...

Taxpayers and/or parents are doubly screwed.
I betcha you are RIGHT on.
Taxpayer funded protests.
Deep State is using our own money to enslave us.
This mayor sounds like a real piece of work. A typical democrat dipchit that destroys everything he touches.
He is also a damn liar...geee...a dem lying...who is surprised?
“”They didn’t have permission from PennDOT,” Tuerk said. “And I’m following PennDOT’s rules on PennDOT roads.”
69 News reached out to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and a spokesperson said:
“Street closures related to the visit by former President Trump are under the jurisdiction of law enforcement.”
He is a winner all right:
Allentown City Council sues Mayor Matt Tuerk, finance director over racism investigation
Elections which happen once every four years and are the cornerstone of our society.....oe would think they would give latitude to them, especially the way the left always talks about voting rights.
But that is only for the left. Another double standard of the left.
Just occurred to me...
If those apparatchiks in Allentown had just used their heads, they could have merched the heck out of this rally...
Bus rides, more public parking made available for the day, fast-tracked permitting for food and merch vendors...
Those so-called public servants could have made a bleep pot of money through sales taxes and fees to put toward that fiscal abyss they’re digging for Allentown.
Jeez louise, what a wasted opportunity.
Leftists *waste* every opportunity to actually improve and/or better something :-(
Almost like it’s on purpose ... or, something 🤔
Pennsylvania Ping!
