On second thought, Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski has decided not to contract out management of the city's golf course. The on-again, off-again privatization effort, which started in 2005 under former Mayor Roy C. Afflerbach, is officially off. After reviewing four bids the city received in March, Pawlowski said he decided to turn them all down, and will hire a city-employed course manager to run Allentown Municipal Golf Course.
