    Get More LVWITHLOVE content Thank you to our Partners! Lehigh Valley Health Network WDIY Wind Creek Event Center Michael Bernadyn of RE/MAX Real Estate  Molly’s Irish Grille & Sports Pub Banko Beverage Company 4K VIDEO VERSION: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE8zs4kaUaQ   Join us for a special Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast live stream where we discuss the upcoming transfer tax referendum in Allentown, which is set to appear on the November ballot. If you’re a renter, buyer, or seller in the city, this is something that could have a direct impact on you, and we’re here to help you understand what’s going on! We’ve invited three experts from the Greater Lehigh Valley Realtors (GLVR) to walk us through everything you need to know about the proposed tax hike and answer your questions live. These knowledgeable guests will explain what the proposal asks of voters, what a “Yes” or “No” vote means, and why GLVR is taking an active role in educating the public. They’ll also dive into why this matters for more than just the real estate community—anyone in Allentown should be paying attention to this referendum. We’ll cover these important questions: What exactly does the referendum ask voters to decide on? What would a vote “Yes” mean? What about a vote “No”? Why is GLVR running a public information campaign around this referendum? Is GLVR telling voters how to vote, or is this campaign purely informational? Who should care about the outcome and why? If voters approve the referendum, will GLVR continue their involvement? GUESTS Asher Schiavone: Government Affairs Director for GLVR Lori Campbell: President of GLVR and experienced Realtor Mike Bernadyn: President-elect of GLVR and Military Relocation Professional LINKS More info: VoteNoAllentownTaxHike.com
