Mr. and Mrs. Moneybags

Mr. and Mrs. Moneybags

POTTSTOWN, PA – While we really despise the end of the year news cycle between Christmas and New Year’s (especially this year since it marks the end of a decade), we thought we would shamelessly seize the moment and take a look back at 2009 in the life of our favorite fringe political activist... »

Why Does Hylton Continue to Align Himself with Out of Towners?

Why Does Hylton Continue to Align Himself with Out of Towners?

POTTSTOWN, PA – Riddle us this Batman…why does Tom Hylton continue to do business with and recruit activists that don’t live/operate in Pottstown? Right up there with Stonehenge, one of the big mysteries of the universe is Hylton and his lovefest with the Wausnock brothers (George and Dennis).  What’s up with that?  We just... »

Hylton’s Costs to Taxpayers Add Up!

POTTSTOWN, PA – Finally!  The Pottstown Mercury has finally published an article pulling the curtain away…and exposing the TRUTH!  The Mercury published the following article, “Taxpayer costs add up in disputes over records,” on December 24: http://www.pottsmerc.com/articles/2009/12/24/news/srv0000007157971.txt As so many SavePottstown!! readers already know, Tom Hylton has been keeping his own personal Right to... »

A Visit from the Taxpayers

A Visit from the Taxpayers

A Visit from the Taxpayers (our apologizes to Clement Clark Moore) A look into Pottstown’s Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come… ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Hyltonville Not a creature was stirring, not even The Mercury’s best known shrill; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that... »

Does He Know It's Christmas?

Does He Know It's Christmas?

POTTSTOWN, PA – Tom Hylton has placed yet another soppy ad in today’s Pottstown Mercury.  Unfortunately, you can’t read it online (since Hylton is too cheap to pay for online ads) and we guess he didn’t pay his webmaster this month…since it’s not posted on his Pottstown Citizens (www.pottstowncitizens.org) site either. (NOTE: Just checked... »

Hylton Gets Things Done in Pottstown!

POTTSTOWN, PA – These comments bear repeating.  Originally posted online in The Pottstown Mercury’s comments section on December 4, 2009, our hats off to the poster known as “What are you fighting to protect”.   Obviously a seasoned taxpayer of Pottstown, this poster has made some very insightful observations of Tom Hylton and his 20+... »

Tom Hylton’s Forest of Deceit

POTTSTOWN, PA – If you live in Pottstown and ever had to remove a tree from your property, you’ve most likely had the unpleasant task of having to deal with Tom Hylton.  Our sympathies dear taxpayers.

Neighborhood Schools in Pottstown

Neighborhood Schools in Pottstown

POTTSTOWN, PA – So let’s talk about neighborhood schools in Pottstown.  Tom Hylton, a staunch advocate for keeping the Pottstown School District’s five elementary schools open, is too emotionally and financially attached to the topic to warrant any of his opinions valid.  It’s one of the three reasons he says he ran for school... »
