Absolut Denial

POTTSTOWN, PA – During last Wednesday’s Neighborhood Schools Committee meeting held at the Pottstown Middle School, resident Chris Lineman asked Committee Chair Thomas Hylton, “Are you the devil, sir?” While the rhetoric question elicited laughter and applause from those attending the meeting, Mr. Lineman also asked Hylton about his supposed “success” with the Erie... »

Audit This!

POTTSTOWN, PA – While April 15th is only a few short months away, we here at Save Pottstown!! think it’s time to start taking some serious financial investigative action.

Show Us the Money!

POTTSTOWN, PA – A hollow pledge.  That pretty much sums up Pottstown School Board member Thomas Hylton’s pledge from Monday night’s special voting meeting to fork over $20,000 (supposedly his own money) to pay for an architectural firm to design the custom-built hi$torically-accurate windows for Edgewood and Rupert elementary schools.  The Mercury today published... »

And How Would You Like Your Whoop Ass Sir?

POTTSTOWN, PA – One of our alert readers has informed us of the rather comical exchanges available online in The Mercury article “Pottstown committee gets look at geothermal conversion”, which appeared in the January 21 print edition. Evidently, a case of whoop ass is being levied to the poster known as “Dobbydo”.  Maybe an... »

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?

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... »

Who Is Tom Hylton?

POTTSTOWN, PA – Who is Tom Hylton? It depends on who you ask.  Hylton is a man who wears many hats.  Currently, he is a public official…a school board director with the Pottstown School District…having been elected to that post in November 2009 – his first official elected office position – how exciting for... »
