Well Mr. Walker you tried to blame it on and I quote from your words to me " I WAS RAISED ON A FARM " . That still doesn't hold any bearing on my feelings you said to the Morning Call I AM GOING TO RESIGN well I think you owe it to the citizens of our fair Boro AND ACT AS THE MAN / CHILD YOU SHOULD BE AND STEP DOWN . You said to me some people on Boro Council and some Citizens had called you and said you did not have to resign because it was ONLY A MISDMEANOR please name them so, we know who not to vote for when they come up for re-election.

" normal " behavior. Only by some of Macungie council's definition.
What a joke. Hope Council puts potty breaks in the agenda, if he is staying on.

My advice to his fellow council members who sit next to him if he decides to stay... if you see him lift his leg or start to figit in his seat... RUN!!!!

Honesty;
I read your comment and feel the need to respond to it. You have the right to free speech and I encourage a good dialog of conversation. It helps to be active in local politics in all forms. But I take issue with your assessment of myself, you do not obviously even know me and yet you accuse me of some kind of self-serving interest and of actions that I myself would never be a part of. There are seats on the Planning and the Zoning Boards which I would strongly encourage you to apply right now and have your opinions heard. Next year there are four seats available on Council I encourage you to run for office. You have your right to comment as you see fit but comments without facts due nothing but insight propaganda, continued dissention and make it very difficult for others to see clarity without biases. Come to a Council meeting and speak directly to me and ask what you may, I encourage it.

I go regularly to township meetings and every now and then as time allows to Macungie borough and EPSD. I can tell you without a doubt that by far and away the Macungie borough council is extremely lenient with public comment on an apples to apples comparison. At Lower Mac BOC the borough manager (under direction from the commissioners per policy) literally times you with a stopwatch and cuts you off sometimes mid sentence after 3 minutes. Now if in their opinion you deserve more time they will sometimes motion to allow for another 3 minutes. And also at LMT BOC any perceived negative tone is immediately questioned and shut down.

Point of reference

Many people are unaware that the Borough of Macungie and Lower Macungie Township are 2 completely different entities.

Honesty, you hit the nail on the head, and as evidenced by his responce Becker certainly does not like being called out for his actions and associations. I recall a very large sign in Becker's front yard with the names; Becker, Walker, Hutchison, as a political slate of candidates. At council meetings Becker routinely argues with citizens who attempt to voice their opinions that are contrary to his ideas and their agenda. One important name missing from the list of "circle of friends" was the CEO, Mick Seislove. Since Seislove resigned from his position as Borough manager, he continues to attempt to control Macungie and promote his personal and financial agenda by supporting and keeping enough of his "MICKATEERS" on council and the other boards so he always has the votes needed to control the outcome of any items that come before that particular board. Continue to observe Becker in the future and his ties to the "circle of friends" will become even more evident, along with what Becker hopes to gain as payment for his loyalty.
