Imagine What Would Happen?

All School Districts should adopt an Energy Policy for their schools. Council Rock School district reports a $4.7 million savings over three years. Governor Rendell wouldn't have to have a Tax Increase!

Comment To Snowman

Maybe,if this administration gave me information I could give a price comparison.

Benefits and wages of two men are very expensive. Did you know Council Rock School District saved $4.7 million over three years in Energy costs. I have tried for (6) years to have an energy policy.

Did you ever wonder why the Reading School Board won't create an Energy Policy?

"When you tell people we're already spending $2.5 trillion a year on health care and now we're going to spend $1 trillion more,it just doesn't add up."

Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) quoted by Washington Post columnist David Broder

Energy Policy

Does your school district have an Energy Policy? Think,think and think again how much money can be saved.

Mr. Robert Schoch of Council Rock School District thought it was a good idea!

What Is Wrong With Local Sales Tax???

The problem with a local sales tax is that it will be increased. Every (1) to (5)yrs.
someone will say they need to raise this tax because they need more money.

Congratulations To Dave Stahl and The Sacred Orchestra

Congratulations to Dave Stahl and his sacred orchestra on their 10 years of ministry. I recently heard them perform with The New Hanover Sacred Choir.

Thank you

I want to Thank everyone who cut the grass in Hampden Park.

Another Shooting?

Would the Police Dogs have helped save these two young men?? If the Reading School District would have requested Drug sniffing dogs to go through all their schools unannounced, could this have stopped these murders?

I think these murders stand an excellent chance of being Drug related.If the young men would have been caught with drugs in Reading High School we could have placed them with the proper organizations to help them.

McMahon Plays Cheerleader to Tax Plan

Why Mr. Mayor must it always be a tax plan? I wish you had as much energy in trying to cut waste,fraud,and abuse.Thermostats in city hall shouldn't be above 68 degrees F. Why do we need another study about a road behind NorthWest Elementary at a $2,000,000 price tag? (OBAMA stimulus money)

A Quote

The Weenie Wagon

Affectionately known as The Hot Dog Stand still sits at George Field. Some Fiscal responsibility of The Reading School Board??? Maybe we can rent it to employees for their private parties? Maybe the Reading Museum would be interested in renting The weenie wagon?

Analyze A Vote On School Board

When you see how a School Board voted on an issue. Please,Ask yourself why that person voted yes or no on a particular issue. Were they some how related to a company? How does voting for something benefit that Director? Could it be a future job in the horizon for someone they know? How many Directors are on a School Board for the right reasons?

Common Sense

A safe City is a thriving city. Two policemen should always be together at all times.
I think they should even ride together when they come to work.
