Attention Mayor McMahon

Please, remember who helped you get re-elected (Governor Ed. Rendell).The governor supports Senator Clinton. Let us not forget ! Hey hold on to your pants Senator OBAMA is so far left Columbus could fall off the earth.

O'Bama just misses me

The Pa. State Police flew by me on my way into Reading. I really would have enjoyed asking him a few simple questions ? In some respects I was asked tougher questions running for mayor.

Drum Roll Please ( maybe 80,000 by April 30th

Keep those hits coming, LOL,LOL,LOL

Matt please send me your e-mail address. I need to send you some of these left wing comments. It will make you laugh.

Thought For The Week

Never say, "I can't"without also saying, "He can."

Security Cameras link schools to police departments

February School board news from the National School Boards association. Pelham, N.H., THE Demarest school district in Bergen County N.J. and the Watertown-Mayer Elementary school in Watertown Minnesota.

This is showing that my idea to include the police department with our camera system is a good one. Hey, we might actually catch some graffiti artists.

Bill Clinton Packs Albright center

Man found shot dead on city street( reference to Reading Eagle article on front page 3-28-08)

I think we need those drug dogs real fast. I'm very happy to say that I have seen two policemen together several times when on duty.

This was an idea that I campaigned on during the mayoral campaign.

Critical Thinking of This Blog

To the person or persons who are so critical of this blog. Are you envious or jealous ? You can always start a Blog. Just stay off the Internet and it won't aggravate you.

Meeting With Albert Boscov

Today I met with Mr. Albert Boscov to discuss the Goggle Works Apartments. We discussed several items about the city.


One of those items was to combine forces with the school district cameras and the cities camera system. Mr. Boscov thanked me at least six times for being on the school board.

This is for the Person Who finds fault with me

The number of votes I received in the last election should have told you what people thought of me.

For the record I had an Energy Committee which students on this committee were from grades 9-12. They were from different ethnic groups. Every student also had a different religion.

We all worked together and it was a tremendous experience. I'm sorry to say that some people didn't want this committee to continue.

Drug Sniffing Dogs

Why are people afraid to have Drug Sniffing dogs come through our schools? This is just one simple question that could actually improve the district.

City Teen Stabbed

Regarding article in B-1 of the Reading Eagle today. Would this of happened if Reading High School had a school resource officer.

Mayor McMahon took the policemen from our schools. It never was brought before the school board for discussion. This should have been discussed and voted on.

No Child Left Behind

The law is far from perfect but let us move forward with what is good with the law. It's the first time anyone has been held accountable for a students education.

Remember, the surgeon, dentist, lawyer, and even the enviromental technician is held accountable for their work.

Over 75% of this law was written by Senator Edward Kennedy and President George Bush continues to get blamed for what is wrong with the law.

Somethng to Read

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others, It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.

Why was Keith Stamm Attacked?

This is an important question to ask? I was told Sat. night that the reason this happened is because certain powers are afraid of you. I was told told that they know you have a bright future in politics.

Did Keith Stamm yell or jump up and down at the last stated Board meeting? Keith was composed and showed everyone that he wouldn't act like he only went to 4th grade.

The Goggle Apartments

The Reading School District was never told about Section 8 housing for this project. I know I would have never voted to excuse taxes if they were going to place Section 8 with wealth.

People of wealth just don't want to live near poor people ( I'm not saying that this is right or wrong)

Leon Churchill's New Job

Did anyone check to see what the cost of living is outside of SanFrancisco? Maybe, the managing director decided to rent instead of purchasing a home. I still believe he didn't want to face the music of Tax increases????

Mayoral Debates

Don Spatz did not report the question that I asked at debate that was held at Albright. Mr. Mayor did you give the corrupt money you received ($5,000 ) campaign contribution to the judge that sentenced Kevin Timochenko, or hand the same judge a letter asking for him to give Kevin a break?

I printed this now because Tony Phyrillas asked why I didn't raise red flags on the cities finances. I did but Don Spatz only would print what made Mayor McMahon look good.

I'm not complaining because I know who really controls the newspaper.

McMahon Lied To Win

Governor Ed Rendell, Al Boscov, Paul Roedel, P. Michael Ehrlerman, Marlin Miller all backed a lier. It's a shame that Reading is controlled by certain people. $7,000,000 shortfall, Mr. Mayor Where did you go to school? Didn't they teach you how to tell the truth!

I told the truth and I can sleep at night Mr. Boscov. I hope you can sleep also.

What is Really Important in Life?

Smile, remember what is really important in life and smile. Family and friends!

Reading At It's Crossroads

Mayor McMahon told everyone his excuse for not having money. It was an Election year. I guess this gives him permission to lie. Ahh imagine that,the Mayor Lie.

The Riverfront

How will the city even direct traffic without more police? You will need police at the riverfront during construction. I certainly hope the city comes up with alot of money.

Meeting at City Hall Tonight

Will council agree to raise Taxes ? Will the mayor suggest cutting services? He already took our Police officer from Reading High School.

Representative Dante Santoni

Dear Dante,
I want to thank you for obtaining the $25,000 grant for our security cameras. This will help us place security cameras outside of our elementary schools.

Sincerly, Keith Stamm
Former Board President

Senator Vince Fumo Heart Attack

Did this happen due to the investigation of the Senator's corruption indictment?

To All The Councilmen Who Supported The Mayor

I want you to stand on the soap box now! Please, brag about the Tax increase and the $7,000,000 shortfall.

Tax Increase Eh ???

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=ay5LDbjbjy6cKeith Stamm told you on Election night to be prepared for this. Complex Bond Swaps Eh? Mr. Mayor Why won't there be any more of those swaps? This would be a good thing to research for a top notch investigative reporter.

These Swaps in the long haul probably cost the city alot of money. When something sounds to good to be true it usually is !!!

The People Tell Me

The voters show me respect when they continuously vote for me. That is all I need to know. Talk to students that were on my Energy committee. This is the committee that you didn't want to acknowledge existed.

The Truth Will Set You Free

I really slept well last night. Why do people hate to hear the truth? Why do people try and hide information regarding police officers at the high school?

To the people who tried to hide that these officers were no longer there let it be on your conscience.

$7,000,000 Surplus We Were Told

Where is the $7,000,000? Is the money in a Philadelphia bank? We should be able to purchase a fleet of Drug Sniffing Dogs and have enough money for at least (13) police officers. Maybe then we can send two back to the High School. Remember what happened at Mt Penn High School.

They thought it was necessary to hire an officer after that incident.

Attention, Attention, Attention

The Mayor of Reading Pa. removed Police officers from Reading High School. If you have concerns please contact someone on the Reading School Board or please come to a board meeting.

Police Chief Heim was offered our radio frequency for our outside security cameras and didn't accept. Why didn't he accept this offer?
