To the Editor: It’s a sad day when pettiness denies a committed citizen an appointment to a Lower Macungie Township volunteer service committee. Ron Beitler has excellent leadership skills and would be a fine addition to any township committee. It seems the big egos of the majority of the Lower Macungie Township Board of Commissioners are easily pricked. They exhibit disdain for anyone who disagrees with their actions. Actions that have been consistently questionable. President Ron Eichenberg is suspect of the most self-serving actions of all.

The big retailers treated shoppers with a chance to visit their big-box stores a day before Black Friday. Toys R Us opened at 9 p.m. and Walmart -- including the supercenter in Lower Macungie -- opened at 10 p.m. on what some called Black Thursday instead of Thanksgiving.

What's sad is this tract is a fantastic location for a TND. It really is. Transect between the borough of Macungie, Mack trucks and all the residential behind it. It's screaming for smart growth (just as the Hamilton corridor is). Instead we're looking at a sprawl commercial corridor project rammed together with 200+ apartments. You have an area WITHOUT traffic issues now. Of all the areas of the… more ›
