Investigation Going On

I've been told that the Tulpehocken High School business department is studying Bond Swaps.

I will certainly be interested in their conclusion.

Rumors, Rumors

Where is the City surplus of $7,000,000 that the Mayor ran his campaign on? Is this why he eliminated my Police officers at the High School.

It All Started With The Dress Code

Things started to happen when the former administration at the high school didn't want to enforce the dress code. Former Police Chief Broad agreed with me that this was a big mistake.

More Feel Good Government. We can't possibly tell children that there are rules. That must come from It takes a village to raise a child(Hillary Quote) Maybe two parents together to raise a child or just don't have any children period.

Left Wing Liberalism

Was this taken from Al Franken? Why would you reward students with a dance after they marched and smashed cars?

More Feel Good Government,Maybe we should send the kids to the museum.

I'm going to create a list of people I will hold responsible if my daughter is hurt at Reading High School . My brilliant Mayor McMahon eliminated Police officers at the high school.

Illegal Aliens

Were these students legal citizens of this country? Nelson Diaz will hate to read about this Riot.

Mr. Boscov let's bring Governor Rendell and Senator Arlen Specter here and have a huge parade for them?

Hey Mayor

Why didn't you arrive at Reading High School yesterday? I thought crime is down! Riots in Reading? Oh Know maybe they can march along the riverfront.

Why aren't students in class instead of a assembly?

Police are Wrong is What I Was Told

It is very unfortunate that people will say I'm anti police. I was the candidate who talked about having two officers in a car. The school district has offered our Radio frequency for our outside cameras.

Why hasn't Chief Heim responded to this? I would think he could use all the help he can get.

I hope everyone asks for some police dogs. Let's start with a surprise visit at the Pizza shop across from Reading High School.

Low Life Reporter

I'm so tired of people criticizing the Reading Eagle. They weren't the people smashing the cars with their aluminum bats. The last 5 years I've heard only complaints about the Reading Eagle, especially Kori Walter.

People use to say I must have paid Kori for his articles. Then they thought I had some sort of control over the Editor. That was a laugh,Mr. Boscov would never allow that.


I'm curious why the Reading Eagle hasn't been reporting on things such as Bond Swaps. The Morning Call from Allentown and The Bloomberg News have done several articles. I guess I have to call the Laws Larson show on Weeu at night.

Remember, Mr. Mayor you always enjoyed coming to our schools. Why weren't you in the parade of 1,500 students.

Out Of Control

I contacted Board President McCree today asking for a Special Board Meeting. I told her the Board needed to review all assembly procedures,Why the riot happened? Will it happen again?,How can this be avoided in the future.

To many people will act like nothing ever happened. Explain that to the people who had their cars smashed with baseball bats. Maybe, if certain people had it happen to them they would react a different way.

Hey, remember crime is down especially at the 1200 block of Muhlenberg Street. Tell that to the family who lost a son , a brother or father. To many times the press will pick on the war but act like shootings that are here in America are ok.

Tell a Friend About This Site

Whenever you see a friend make sure to tell them about this site. All Comments are welcomed!

Hey, Lets just get Marlin Miller , Al Boscov, and others together. Will they agree to use Drug Sniffing Dogs?

Mayor McMahon

This is your notice that I will hold you responsible if my daughter is attacked at Reading High School. Why did you take away the Police Officer that was in our High School. Lancaster High School has at least 10 police officers there. I thought this is where Chief Heim came from???

Rotc Needed at Lower Grades

JROTC is needed at the lower grades of the Reading School District. These children are not receiving discipline at home.

Maybe, We should just make this a requirement if you go to Reading period.

The Spin Stops Here

Please, read and think!

Drug Sniffing Dogs Need To Come

Mr. Ray Albert Security Chief in the Reading School District has informed me he can borrow Drug Sniffing dogs. I think it might be a terrific idea to bring those dogs through all of our schools at least one time. Will this happen? or will board members say this doesn't happen in Reading?

Another famous quote from some people is to just blame the newspaper for everything.

A Sad Day

Riots will continue if the administration allows feel good assemblies .When Chief Heim took our Police officers out of the High School, I really thought that was a big mistake.This was Liberalism at it's finest hour.

I have Board members who will continue to think that things won't happen. Guess what it did and I will hold certain people accountable.

Beauty of Campaigning on both sides

You have a better appreciation of all political parties when you do this. School directors can run on both Democratic and Republican ballots.

School Directors Nationwide

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=ay5LDbjbjy6c&refer=home I figured a good school project out for all business classes to study. Bond Swaps and anything pertaining to them. Proceed by contacting Martin Braun @ Bloomberg News.

Wyomissing and Exeter

Drug Sniffing Dogs before Reading! Why couldn't the Mayor demand that these dogs were top priority. Just google Frank Serpico and see if his ideas don't add up.

Front Of Geigle on North Face

Three lights are not working . This was reported over three weeks ago. If you see this please contact John Santoro or Board President McCree.

To The Far Left Lunatic

Whatever I say and do will not please you. Oh by the way Hillary 08 not Obama. This is for the last comment which I'm still reviewing.

Why do you have this hatred for me ! I'm not a Right Wing Lunatic. Just a person who is confident with their position that they take on issues.

Please Tell The Teacher

Please, tell the teacher who told you that there are returning visitors . I also have unique visitors that are first time people hitting this site.

I want that same teacher to know that the County commissioners,Mayor,and the Reading Eagle created their Blogs after I had one and they saw how popular it was.

Anyone in Public Office

Read anything you can from Martin Braun from the Bloomberg News. Just Google Search his name with Bloomberg behind his name.

Crime is Improving

My new snow shovel was stolen today.Maybe, Chief Heim can ad that to his famous statistics.

All School Directors

Ask these questions? Does your school district have controls on fundraisers? When is the money placed in a safety deposit box. Things can happen even if its just collecting money for a club.


More Ideas will come in the coming months.

Attention All School Directors Nationwide

Congratulations to Reading High Basketball

Congratulations to Richard Reyes and his team 29-0. My prediction from the start of this year was that you were going to the Big Game (State Title.)

Don Spatz needs to Investigate

I wish the Reading Eagle reporter (Don Spatz) would investigate if 2,000 condos were only going to allow adults to live there. I also want to know who his going to pay for the repairs when the first flood happens at this terrific site.

Bypass Charter

Thank you Emily Richardson for your opinion article that you submitted to the Reading Eagle.(printed today 2-19-08). Certain people should worry what their real job is.

Flood Plain

Thank you Jason Brudereck for the column on cautious optimism. Im happy the Reading Eagle printed the other side of the story.

Remember, these developers will want tax abatements and the costs for another two schools will be astounding.

Where is an investigative reporter?It seems since Kori Walter left the paper isn't looking at things in detail.

Things such as how much Flood Insurance will cost when and if you build in a flood plain.

Natural Gas Bills of Interest

Supply House $4,300.18
Reading High $6,705.02 Supply house seems very high ,sq ft is a fraction of the high school.

(1) BILLION Dollar Development Along Riverfront???

Are Levees planned to keep flood waters away from riverfront project? Amazing that we have money for this but can't afford Drug Sniffing Police Dogs.

Mr. Boscov have you looked at a scratch and dent store along the riverfront? Let's contact Congressman Gerlach and see if he can get Federal Monies for the levees.

How much will these levees cost?

Republican Kook Eh?

It's amazing that the more successful that I am the more abuse I get. Im a Big guy and have broad shoulders so keep trying to annoy me . I enjoy every minute of it!

Congratulations on your 26 wins and continued success.

Quote that needs to be Read

"This country has nothing to fear from the crooked man who fails. We put him in jail. It is the crooked man who succeeds who is a threat to this country."
Theodore Roosevelt

Response to Residential Units

I am not a dummy, it doesn't take rocket science to figure out that the cost of schools and city services for those added units will never be covered with their taxes. First of all the city will probably give them a tax break for at least 10 years.

Think about some more FEEL GOOD GOVERNMENT. Please, have a great day.

Raises for City Officials

City Council raises Leon Churchills salary to $118,820
Fire Chief William Rehr to $73,000
Proposed a 4% raise for Police Chief Heim to $108,957

College Rates Professors

Why can't students rate their teachers. Who was their best teacher and who was their worst teacher. This could possibly be part of their evaluation.

Residential Units Proposed

2,000 residential units to be proposed near Canal street. Is this in a flood plain?The schools are currently bursting at their seams. Will the developer provide monies for the added children that will arrive in Reading?

Im just asking the Simple questions.

To The McMahon Fan / Haring

If you were a responsible person on a school board you would look at this in a different way. I did not try and censor Haring. I requested that an independent psychologist tell the school board at what age this art wouldn't have a detrimental affect of children. The psychologist that was recommended was Tim Ring from Wyomissing,Pa.

The McMahon Plan

Robbery today at 547 Centre Ave. Oil Delivery truck driver was robbed at gunpoint. Perception Mr. McMahon! I guess this won't stop untill someone can defend themselves.

To all you McMahon fans, I certainly hope you are not held up at gunpoint.

All Government Officials

Please, Read the statement below before you do any Bond Swaps.

Attention: All School Directors & Government Officials

Socialism Eh

Amazing, and just who is the biggest socialist Reading currently has? Send me the list and I will post. The charter was designed to keep establishment elites from controlling the city. If it is ever given a chance to work it just might succeed.

The Truth Will Set You Free

I sleep well at night. Why can't people accept The Truth! I do not compare myself to any businessmen period. Remember,appealing the residency rule decision will cost the taxpayers money. I thought these same government officials were for the people.

Residency

I moved into The City of Reading 18years ago. Previously my family and I lived in the suburbs.

Will McMahon Appeal Residency Rule?

My question is, who will pay for the legal fees if he appeals the residency rule with the charter.
I'm hopeful Mr. Boscov will pay these fees. I know Mr. Boscov wants to help the people of Reading. Why can't we have a scratch and dent store in Reading.

The Spin Stops Here

Why won't Chief Heim accept our offer of our digital cameras??? This would allow the city police to cover more of Reading,Pa.

I'm hopeful they accept before I go to see Mr. Boscov on this issue.

Thought For Today

Please think about someone that might need a kind word to get them to finish out their day. A smile to let them know you care. If you have the time please help someone this weekend.

Another shooting in Reading,Pa. Recently I received an E-Mail from Nelson Diaz asking me about the security of Reading. I should send this e-mail to the Mayor so he has a reality check. Perception of Reading, stay out so that you don't get shot.
