The Real Story

POTTSTOWN, PA – We see that Mr. Excessive Spender is excessively spending (and excessively spinning) again in today’s print edition of The Fishwrap. Pottstown School Board member (and numero uno excessive spender) Thomas Hylton feels emotionally damaged and hurt at not being included in Pottstown School District Superintendent Dr. Reed Lindley’s meeting schedule. You... »

Transparent As Mud

POTTSTOWN, PA – It’s ironic, isn’t it? That it took over two years for Pottstown School Board member (and full time political hack) Thomas Hylton to post the campaign finance reports of his political action committee, Pottstown Citizens for Responsible Government, online on his PCRFG website. When we launched our site in December of... »

Roundup!

POTTSTOWN, PA – Well well well. It seems that during our brief two day vacation to Pottstown School Board member Thomas Hylton’s favorite destination, FANTASYLAND, we missed quite a lot of hub-bub going on in Pottstown. Just as a sidebar, we here at SP are today starting a new policy. No more linking to... »

$7,731.53

POTTSTOWN, PA – That’s the figure that Pottstown School Board member (and ring leader of the fringe Pottstown Citizens for Responsible Government political action committee) expensed in the five month period from January 1 – May 6 of this year, according to records recently filed with the Montgomery County Office of Voter Services. 2011... »

Mr. Pitiful

POTTSTOWN, PA – No sooner was the electronic ink dry on our Got Junk Mail? post earlier today, that our friendly, neighborhood postman delivered a large piece of The Mother of All Junk Mail from the Mother of All Big Spenders himself, Pottstown School Board member Thomas “Mr. Pitiful” Hylton.

Got Junk Mail?

SavePottstown!! recently received in the mail a primary election postcard funded by Gail Yoder (the Area 2 Republican Committee chair who “serves” Pottstown) and her republican cabal. We’re actually quite unimpressed with the postcard overall and give it two big thumbs down. Not... »

Silence of the Lame

Silence of the Lame

POTTSTOWN, PA – We found The Mercury’s spin on last Thursday’s Pottstown School Board meeting quite interesting and revealing. When one board member speaks his mind…it’s commentary. When another board member speaks her mind…it’s “lashing out”. And so goes the warped spin cycle at The Mercury. Yesterday, two articles from last Thursday’s board meeting... »
