$12,531.10

POTTSTOWN, PA – Our nation’s unemployment is at 9% (and that figure does not take into account folks who want to work…but can’t find jobs). Folks in the U.S. are so desperate for employment these days that they will work in the U.S. for $.25 an hour. Yes…you read that figure correctly…twenty five cents... »

POTTSTOWN, PA – Do you know anyone who exhibits these symptoms: Engages in one-sided, long-winded conversations, without noticing if the listener is listening or trying to change the subject Displays unusual nonverbal communication, such as lack of eye contact, few facial expressions, or awkward body postures and gestures Shows an intense obsession with one... »

Put It In Writing!

POTTSTOWN, PA – It’s nice to see that local newsworthy stories are actually being reported on within 48 hours of their occurrence. Guess that’s better than the typical week long incubation period we’ve become used to. In today’s print and online editions of The Fishwrap, we see an article spotlighting the secret meetings that... »

When Journalism Goes Bad

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... »

The Worst Woman Hater of Them All

The Worst Woman Hater of Them All

POTTSTOWN, PA – We see that self-anointed responsible Pottstown citizen Thomas Hylton crossed another item off his bucket list at last night’s Pottstown School District Finance/Personnel Committee meeting with the submitted resignation of Terri Lampe, the district’s director of development. Hylton, who can now claim responsibility for the loss of Ms. Lampe’s past two... »

Blah Blah Blah

POTTSTOWN, PA – We see that the fear mongering excessive spending spin meister is at it again. In today’s print edition of The Fishwrap, we find another ho-hum the-sky-is-falling advertisement from the wanna-be responsible Pottstown citizen, Thomas Hylton. PCFRG Advertisement 061311 We find it very amusing that Hylton is crying the blues about all... »

“The Public Wants and Deserves Real Solutions to Real Problems”

Monday, June 6th, 2011
“The Public Wants and Deserves Real Solutions to Real Problems”

POTTSTOWN, PA – As one of our office staffers was relining the kitty litter box this morning, the above the fold headline of today’s Fishwrap peeked out of the sandy granules: “Pottstown Officials Refute Hylton Ads.” Misunderstood Pottstown School Board member Thomas Hylton received a group slapdown at last Thursday’s board meeting. Members Polly... »

The Excessive Spender Strikes Again!

POTTSTOWN, PA – It never ceases to amaze us how much money Pottstown School Board member Thomas Hylton will spend in an attempt to brainwash the taxpayers of Pottstown.
