And they are about to go up, huge! This number is going to be dropped in the lap of local taxpayers…Read More to pay this bill. I will move out of this ridiculous state before I am left holding the bag paying people who feel entitled. In this case, the average Parkland teacher salary is @ $72,000/yr....yes, $72,000 for 190 days of work...and that includes the last 2 weeks of videos, films and field trips. NO!

Mr. Campbell and his cast and crew put on a quality , professional production. My children have been…Read More involved in all of the plays since 6th grade, and with this great experience he has given them they will go on to try out for HS productions and in the future college and local productions. Keep up the great work Mr. C and all of the LMMS teachers.

I live in North Carolina and am the grandmother of Benjamin and Julia Bezems. Ben is now in HS but…Read More he has had roles in both the production crew and the actors, and Julia has followed in his footsteps. I have timed my visits to Pennsylvania in order to attend some of the productions and they were just great and so well done. My complements to Mr. Campbell and the cast and crew.. I'm disappointed that I will miss this one, but hopefully will get a video..

Look, No More Realtors in Politics. They look out for themselves not the public.

Funny how the BOC supporters and Beitler bashers on this comment string do not identify themselves.…Read More Who is Adam and Bill and Linda S. ? Why do they not say their last names ? The Beitler/Higgins supporters and BOC critics are not afraid to include their last names so everyone knows who they are. It is cheap and lacking in integrity to attack anonymously.
And Mr. Eichenberg need to decide whether he wants to sell commercial real estate in Lower Macungie or be a commissioner. He can't serve his community in an unbiased fashion while at the same time making profit on real estate transactions. abstain fromvoting

Hey, Noah. You seem to have a lot of anger. Ever heard of The Butterfly Garden? It's a project…Read More being developed by the Lower Macungie Garden Club, on the Community Center Campus--yes, the same place you walk to for meetings-- to provide a place for reflection, education, and peace. The ground has already been dug; it can be seen from the Library, where children can learn about butterflies and all of us can have a resting experience. Why don't you contact me and help us?

Hi Janet,
Thanks for the tip on the garden, I'll be sure to take my 5 and 3 year old nephews once…Read More it's built. I'm not an angry individual, on the contrary I'm a fun loving individual. I just believe in old fashion values and calling a spade a spade good, bad or ugly. Unfortunately are too afraid to hear the truth and hear things how they really are and would rather live in a fantasy world bubble instead of reality. In addition I have a very low tolerance for other people's BS, Disrespect, and ignorance. There is a saying from the old country to be stupid is one thing, but to be down right ignorant is unacceptable.

Hi Frank,
I have no problem with Realtors or the profession, some of my best friends are realtors…Read More (and many agree with me that realtors shouldnt be making development decisions)
It's is a fact the "fake newsletter" being distributed by incumbents is being paid for by the realtor association. Look at the "paid for" label. Let me ask you this, do think outside special interests should be putting money into local races? I'm guessing over 15,000 dollars at least so far has come from a PAC in Lomoyne, PA funding the incumbents.
The realtor association IS against traffic and other important impact fees. Are you against these fees? If so why? I think these protections are important for our community.
I'm not against realtors, just against the realtor special interest lobby trying to buy elections and realtors who are also commissioners profiting off changing rules.
Realtors shouldnt be voting on development decisions. Take Wes Barrett councilman in Emmaus. He isnt even the rep on the land in question but he recently abstained from the Indian Creek subdivision just because he owns a realtor business. Thats how you avoid conflicts of interest. Conrad, Reis and Eichenberg shouldnt be voting on ANY development decisions.
Looking forward to your response and hope that clears up my position.

I agree Ron. Realtors should be on a planning commission- where their experience is appreciated for…Read More land developments and any vote is non-partisan. Having three real estate agents as commissioners appears to favor all land developments because of their power to make decisions. Having an outside agency support a local political race is unheard of and indicates the seriousness of the power of real estate agents have in swaying voters minds. Voters need to make up their own mind and not some outside power group. I do not want some outside group deciding how our community is ran- this is just plain wrong
Alburtis Parent May 15, 2013 at 07:04 pm
So..........if Ron Eichenberg, Roger Reis, and Ryan Conrad have spend approximately $15,000 on a…Read More pretend newsletter, 2 robo calls and a television ad.......imagine how much MONEY THEY STAND TO MAKE on the SWEETHEART DEALS THEY HAVE SET UP FOR THEMSELVES. That....right there....should be proof enough for the residents of Lower Macungie that these elected officials are corrupt beyond measure, and NEED TO BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE!
