PCFRG Advertisement 022811 Just as a reminder, since it was conveniently... »

POTTSTOWN, PA – Yes folks…believe it or not there’s yet another puffery advertisement in today’s print edition of The Mercury, courtesy of Pottstown’s own Education Savior, school board member Thomas Hylton. And speaking of savior…today’s throwaway piece of propaganda “discusses” the local Christian schools around the Pottstown area. Hylton likes to use the term... »

POTTSTOWN, PA – Similar to yesterday’s paid advertisement in The Mercury, Pottstown School Board member Thomas Hylton continues today to promote schooling options that do nothing to improve the education of Pottstown’s children, nor do they apply to 99% of Pottstown’s student population. In today’s misguided advertisement, Hylton irresponsibly promotes cyber schools, a learning... »

POTTSTOWN, PA – Now that Tom Hylton has been wisely pink slipped from all Pottstown Borough commissions (Planning and Shade Tree most notably), he seems to be keeping himself busy these days writing advertisements for The Mercury.

POTTSTOWN, PA – File this in the Why Are We Not Surprised folder. At last Thursday’s Pottstown School Board meeting, board member Thomas “Insolvency R Us” Hylton got on his soapbox to proclaim, on record, that he would not support the resolution to approve forward borrowing. Due to the absence of board member Robert... »
