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... »
No Credibility and No Class
POTTSTOWN, PA – Did you feel that disturbance in the force this past Saturday? The feeling that something was pleasantly different in Pottstown. A Pulitzer Prize winning reporter was sharing his ideas and thoughts with folks in Pottstown. The open-minded and diverse crowd gathered and listened attentively to every word from this talented and... »
The Public Is Worn Down By Hylton
POTTSTOWN, PA – We see that Mr. Excessive Spender is excessively spending again (and spinning!) with yet another inflammatory and misleading paid advertisement attempting to derail the President’s Task Force in today’s print edition of his personal public relations kissing cousin The Fishwrap. PCFRG Advertisement 060111 What dinosaur media sticks and stones are Pottstown... »
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... »
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... »
Tom and Repeat
POTTSTOWN, PA – We here at SavePottstown!! absolutely love riddles. Here’s one we’d like to share.

A Slap in the Face
POTTSTOWN, PA – That pretty much sums up our reaction to today’s double whammy dose of half-truths and outdated data circulated in the print edition of The Mercury. Full time cherry picker and part time Pottstown School Board member Thomas Hylton thinks he knows the cure-all for the Pottstown School District and the best... »
Historical Revisionism
POTTSTOWN, PA – Why is Tom Hylton so obsessed with having Pottstown taxpayers continue to pay for five unneeded (and unnecessary) elementary schools? Doesn’t he realize that the Pottstown School District is only one of two school districts in Montgomery County designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Education as a High Tax / High... »
A Blueberry Pie to the Face
POTTSTOWN, PA – As they say in fencing…Touche! A very interesting half-page advertisement appears in today’s print edition of The Mercury. The ad was sponsored by the Federation of Pottstown Teachers and is an excellent rebuttal to the rash of paid advertisements recently placed in the paper by part time Pottstown School Board member... »
Situational Ethics
POTTSTOWN, PA – Not too long ago, one of our wise and revered SavePottstown!! readers made an interesting comment about Pottstown School Board member Thomas Hylton: “He will say ANYTHING to get his way. His ethics are purely situational. If he is in total control, then it’s just and right that the ability to... »
