In Response to
J.L. Kreger’s Editorial

This is in response to the special guest editorial by J. L. Kreger President of the Lehigh Community Council.

It’s about time someone addressed the comments made in the Merchants Marketer.

Mr. Kreger talked about the innuendos, untruths, and much misleading information.

I was always told that a good reporter always gets his facts straight before he reports them.

As far as the flea market and those that are leasing it for their survival, I think is very admiral, I understand they are immigrants that are just trying to make a decent living.

I have no problems with that, we all need to make a living.

Being a retired Police Officer I always believed that those that made a mistake in life deserves a second change if they showed remorse and worked hard for that second chance.

The reporter in the Merchant Marketer seems to have a soft spot for those less fortunate such as the venders, I also agree with that.

By the same token isn’t it in the best interest to have that same feeling for someone who made a mistake several years ago and now is trying hard to make an honest living, also deserves a second chance.

It is obvious that this person writing these articles in the Merchant Marketer has a vindictive and personal hate for Mr. Anderson.

Every time the Merchant Marketer comes out in the last several days, he has to show an old photograph and mention a crime that was committed several years ago.

Now getting back to the Flea Market, Mr. Anderson may have saved several lives by pointing these code violations out, and bringing them out in the open. Since the Merchant Marketer writer is so obsessed with criminal behavior, why is this writer protecting the owner of the flea market who is definitely violating the law by putting all these venders in harm’s way by ignoring all these code violation that could cause bodily harm?

Such as the Fire dept. violations, Health violation, and other safety issues.

Oh by the why, has this writer for the Merchant’s Marketer identify the owner of the Flea Market or is he in bed with him.

Thank you Mr. Anderson for the good reporting on this issue.

It seems that people with money or in politics can do anything they want, they think they are above the law and they use people like our reporter in Merchant marketer,

Although when they get caught, they use people like the Merchant Marketer reporter to put up a smoke screen to save their butt.

I think that the only racist in his article is the reporter to people that are trying to put there life back in order after a mistake they made in their life.

Thank you J. L. Kreger for your comments in the Gazette.

Thank you Robert for your reporting on the flea market, you possibly saved some lives by reporting all these violations.

Question still is who is the owner of the flea market? Shouldn’t we have the right to know? They print names of any other violators of the law?
