Lights, Camera, ACTION!

The Dead End Avenue of Yellow Journalism
POTTSTOWN, PA – One of the comments from a Save Pottstown!! reader got us thinking. How many other newspapers publish paid advertisements on their opinion page? So we did a little researching. We also enjoyed some email correspondence with the editorial divisions of some of the major US newspapers. The ONLY newspaper that turned... »
Pondering the Future of Pottstown Schools
POTTSTOWN, PA – A straightforward and thoughtful letter was published today in both the print and online editions of The Mercury. The online edition does not reference the author’s name, but it was written by long time Pottstown resident Helen Mackewicz. http://www.pottsmerc.com/articles/2010/01/01/opinion/srv0000007200066.txt It’ll be interesting to see if Hylton, through one of his several... »
The Czar of Pottstown
POTTSTOWN, PA – Since the end of 2009 is quickly approaching, we were doing a little year-end reflecting and thinking about the comments Harry Price made earlier this year when speaking of our favorite elected official: “…somehow Mr. Hylton knows more about education and running the borough”…“Why don’t we just name him the ‘czar... »
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... »
Does He Know It's Christmas?
POTTSTOWN, PA – Tom Hylton has placed yet another soppy ad in today’s Pottstown Mercury. Unfortunately, you can’t read it online (since Hylton is too cheap to pay for online ads) and we guess he didn’t pay his webmaster this month…since it’s not posted on his Pottstown Citizens (www.pottstowncitizens.org) site either. (NOTE: Just checked... »
Hylton Gets Things Done in Pottstown!
POTTSTOWN, PA – These comments bear repeating. Originally posted online in The Pottstown Mercury’s comments section on December 4, 2009, our hats off to the poster known as “What are you fighting to protect”. Obviously a seasoned taxpayer of Pottstown, this poster has made some very insightful observations of Tom Hylton and his 20+... »

Tom Hylton’s Forest of Deceit
POTTSTOWN, PA – If you live in Pottstown and ever had to remove a tree from your property, you’ve most likely had the unpleasant task of having to deal with Tom Hylton. Our sympathies dear taxpayers.

Friends of Montgomery County
POTTSTOWN, PA – Are you a friend of Montgomery County? We always considered ourselves so…until we did a little research. Let’s set the Way Back Machine for 2007. That’s when a slate of school board candidates with the dubious title “The Neighborhood Schools Team” mailed flyer after flyer to every home in Pottstown during... »
