Thermostat in an unused Kitchen

On Tuesday February 23rd I found a Thermostat at 75F in a Kitchen. This kitchen wasn't being used at the time. The time was after normal operating hours of this school.

This is just another reason for a Energy Policy!

Trophy Cases @ High School

Why don't we have any Trophies in the new trophy cases? (cost $32,000) The glass shelves have dust all over them!

Elimination of Graffiti

The only way that I see to eliminate graffiti is to catch the student or people creating it. I feel Cameras and motion lights must be put on elected areas.

For The Last Seven Years

I have continuously told the Reading School district they can save at least $1,000,000 on Energy costs.If you see a School Director ask them what the district's Energy Policy is.

You can do the math to realize $7,000,000 is alot of taxpayer dollars!

Where Was City Council The Last Seven Years???

Where was The Mayor and City Council the last seven years? Why didn't anyone know this information before? Was this information about the Computers covered up like Watergate?

Lets have The Morning Call, The Pottstown Mercury, or perhaps The New York Times investigate who possibly received money from the companies involved with this computer system? This is just a Simple Question?

Taking A Stand On Government

"Politics is not an end,but a means.It is not a product,but a process.It is the art of government. Like other values it has its counterfeits.So much emphasis has been placed upon the false that the significance of the true has been obscured and politics has come to convey the meaning of crafty and cunning selfishness,instead of candid and sincere service."

Calvin Coolidge

Energy Policy???

When will the Reading School District ever have an Energy Policy? 2 percent savings with every degree that Temperature is lowered.

Will Stamm Be Invited??

When the Chapel cross is rededicated to Saint Joseph's will Keith Stamm be invited?
This is a good question because I tried to save this cross from being taken from a piece of history.
