Do All School Boards Eat This Good ? ? ?

$1314.75 for the month of May plus another $157.00 for food to the Superintendents office.

Thanks For The Support

Mr. Smith goes to Washington( Keith Stamm ) asked for a report from every Reading School Director who went on a trip the last two years. I'm giving them the courtesy to post their response on this blog.

The bigger question is how many School Directors go on these trips in the State of Pennsylvania.

Maybe, if they only were allowed to go on one trip per/4yr term the State of Pa. could reduce the Real Estate tax on properties.

Goggle Apartments (The Vote)

The vote to proceed with the Tax abatement was 7-2 with Stamm and Cinfici voting no.

School Directors Time(The Truth Will Set You Free)

I can account for every hr. of my day. I hope other people can account for their time??? I'm so happy that you have made this Blog even more popular.

Attacks Continue About This Blog

I will extend the opportunity for every Reading School Director to write a report on their trip. I will then post it here on this Blog. It will give them a place where they can report what they learned on their trip. They also can report on how it will benefit the School District.

Lights In Front Of Geigle

I had several reports of lights being out at night in front of the Geigle Complex. I reported this to our Facilities Director.

Never, Never, Never

I will keep this blog going and if you hate it that much please tell me who you are. Have a wonderful day!

My Former Employer (Carpenter Technology)

Their camera systems are manned 24/hrs a day. The Reading School district was advised of this when I was Board President. I suggested that the administration talk with my former CEO Paul Roedel to arrange a tour of their security office for ideas.

Who Pays The State???

How many times do people tell you that we just need more State funding? Let's ask the question Who pays the state to support anyone?

Why can't people spend as much time on trying to find ways to save?

Call For Cameras in City Park?

Cell Phones

Yes , cell phone abuse can be on both sides. White and Blue collar workers can abuse the system.

Simple Wisdom

" Words of love are not like messages made in sidewalk chalk to be washed away. More indelible, they are written by kindness on the chambers of the heart."

My Interest In The Cell Phones

I was never trying to bust the Blue collar worker. I wanted to see if the administration was following policy. Number of phones allowed, etc, etc, etc.

Happy Mothers Day

Beyond Words

"Mother" a word that holds the tender spell
Of dear, essential things of earth
A home, clean rooms, how good the smell

Of bread; a table spread; a glowing hearth.
Love beyond the dream of anyone
I search for words for her-and find none.

Guess What You Have Me

Wish and Wish again I'm not leaving. I will stay just to bother you and hopefully I will be getting some new candidates to run for office. Then it will be fun again.

Ever Think About Being A School Director?

Please, contact Keith Stamm @ stamk@aol.com. Candidates wanted!

Drug Sniffing Dogs

I Was Warned It Would Happen

People told me I would constantly be attacked. The reason I was given was that they saw what you did with less then $10,000 dollars in campaign funds. Thank you Matt and Nate for the warning.

If you need the real Truth please , call me. The Truth sets me free.

Attacks Continue

Open Records (July 1st)

Then we will find out who,what,when,why and How! Cell phones beware, all abuse and next will be GPS systems. Then we won't have to worry that people are abusing city owned cars.

Response to Comment (Eve of Budget Meeting)

Please, Check the Voting Record ( I voted a big no to the 10% raise for administrators raise) This was on my watch) I have supported the Union workers more times than not{ This is very unusual for a Republican.

Hate, Hate, and more Hate

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

So Im An Idiot

What does that make you? I forgive all of you for you don't realize what you do. Cell phones will make you happy and sad. Get over it and Breathe Deep!

Guess What

To the Left Wing Liberals who are trying to chase me out of the city. Im here to stay so I can annoy all of you. LOL,Smile its a great day in the neighborhood. Let's have some more FEEL GOOD government!

City Cars?

Where did these city cars travel ? Virginia, Harrisburg, Washington,DC. or just from city hall to home. This is another reason to have City managers live within city limits!

City Transfer Tax ( Never )

These monies ( a certain percentage should of been escrowed) The city then could have just spent the interest off this money. I know that idea is just to simple for the McMahon administration to understand. Mr. Churchill sir, what do you think?

Real Crime in City Hall

Thank you Ms. Heidi Trexler for your Opinion to the editor. I will ad a few other things to that article. Isn't it a shame all of city council backed Mayor McMahon in his re-election? The people who backed him the most now want to dance and look good with their solutions. Where were they during the budget process?
I also want the business people who helped him get elected to stand by his side now. Please give him solutions other then selling off City assests.
