“I Don’t Like Tom Hylton”

POTTSTOWN, PA – That’s a direct quote from Ronald Williams, a recently elected member of the Pottstown School Board. Yes…the same Ronald Williams who was elected to his seat courtesy of $15,662 that Tom Hylton personally spent on his failed attempt to buy five Pottstown school board seats in 2011. Is that the thanks... »

Give ‘Em Both the Boot!

POTTSTOWN, PA – While The Mercury falls all over itself celebrating the now viral story it “broke” earlier this week about the Pottstown Middle School’s ban on open top boots, the real issue remains on why the newspaper refuses to expose the money exchanging sweetheart deal brokered by Mercury Editor Nancy March and current... »

POTTSTOWN, PA – Poor Tom Hylton. Nobody will publish his warped commentary….nobody will take his dirty money…he can’t post nasty anonymous online comments at The Fishwrap anymore…and Rupert Elementary is about to be closed and razed.

The Queen of the Big Spenders is Back!

POTTSTOWN, PA – Unfortunately it’s that time of the year again folks. Time for one psychologically unbalanced and mentally disturbed local activist to start unearthing the jars of pennies buried in his backyard and cash them in for dirty marketing campaign propagandic junk mail.

When Journalism Goes Bad

POTTSTOWN, PA – This is the kind of crap that happens when you allow the foxes to guard the henhouse. Perhaps if Tom Hylton’s hand-picked members of his “Neighborhood Schools Team” posse voted to allow PCTV to record school board meetings (instead of them voting against it in 2008), the current video garbage du... »
