I have posted Jordan’s piece about the Bushkill Creek Corridor conspiracy, which also includes, in case I overlooked it, the Easton Parking Authority and the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor Commission, headquartered in Bethlehem and whose treasurer is recently resigned City of Easton business administrator and still National Heritage Corridor and Hugh Moore Park Inc. executive director.

As regards Rissmiller’s piece, which appears in the same Call Girl’s edition as Jordan’s expose of high-end condo developers Ashley Development, Arcadia Properties, and Lafayette College, it continues her own expose of the Phillipsburg, New Jersey, Railroad and Transportation Museum scandal.

Please take note that both exposes relate to abandoned railroad bed properties and their uses for “economic development.”  In the case of the Bushkill Creek Corridor and Bushkill Village, that development benefits chiefly Lafayette College, but also Arcadia Properties and Ashley Development.

The Phillipsburg, New Jersey, Railroad and Transportation Museum site at Howard and Stockton streets primarily benefit that town’s native, attorney and real estate developer and speculator Michael Perrucci, also a partner of BethWorks.

The link to Rissmiller’s piece is titled “Minature railroad seeks to expand,” dated January 11, 2007, and appears on page B5.

“In 2005,” writes Rissmiller, “the group [Phillipsburg Railroad Historians, whose president is Carpenito] jad approval from New Jersey Transit to run the line [Centerville and Southwestern] on its property through a sublease with the Friends of the New Jersey Transportation Heritage Center, another group dedicated to preserving railroad history.”

“Carpenito,” continues Rissmiller, “said New Jersey Transit in January 2006 retracted that approval because Michael Perrucci, the developer charged with redeveloping the downtown, has land in front of the museum designated for a commuter transit village.”
