Get Ready! Lower Mac Pool Opens In One Week
Lower Macungie Township Manager Bruce Fosselman told the Board of Commissioners that the Lower Macungie Township swimming pool opening is set for Saturday, May 25.
Believe it or not, Lower Macungie Township Manager Bruce Fosselman told the township Board of Commissioners at Monday night's meeting, Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner. And, with Memorial Day weekend, thought of by most as the traditional kick-off of summer, comes the opening of the township pool, Fosselman said. Memorial Day 2012 saw the opening of the lazer luge slide at the pool, with seven-year-old Catherine Sirignano winning the honor of taking the first slide down the new attraction. Fosselman told the commissioners that he will likely chronicle the maiden 2013 voyage down the pool slide in some way too.

Lower Macungie Township is Tired of False Alarms
The Lower Macungie Township Board of Commissioners is looking into less tolerance and stricter penalties for false alarms that needlessly call the fire department into action.
It’s not quite a case of the boy who cried wolf, but it’s close. After learning that a good 30 to 40 percent of the calls that prompt Lower Macungie Fire Department volunteers to spring into action actually turn out to be false alarms, the township decided something needed to be done. So, township staff has recommended some changes to an existing township ordinance covering false alarms, Commissioner Roger Reis told the rest of the commissioners in his Public Safety Committee report at Thursday night's Board of Commissioners' meeting. The key changes being looked at Reis explained, are dropping the allowable false alarms from three per year to two and stabilizing the penalty structure to a flat $150 per residential violation and $300 per …

Letter to the Editor
Two Commissioner Candidates Not Real Republicans
Letter writer says two Lower Macungie Board of Commissioner candidates are trying to fool the voters.
To the editor: Republican voters in Lower Macungie beware when heading to the polls for the May 21 Republican Primary. Two candidates for Lower Macungie Township Commissioner, Ron Beitler and Brian Higgins, are long-time Democrats turned Republican trying to fool voters into believing they subscribe to Republican principles. Their motivation looks like political opportunism at its worst. Just look at their political history. Higgins ran unsuccessfully as a Democrat for East Penn School Board in 2011. In a self prepared campaign profile, Higgins stated he would consider supporting tax increases. He also refused to sign a ‘no tax hike’ pledge. Beitler was president of the Young Democrats in college. He’s supported Democrats like …

Letter to the Editor
Three Too Many Realtors on Lower Mac BOC
Letter writer encourages Lower Mac electorate to consider candidates not associated with any realty groups on May 21.
To the Editor: I am a resident of Lower Macungie Township (LMT) and as such will vote on May 21 for candidates seeking to fill three upcoming vacancies for commissioner on our 5-member board. Recently, in the mail, I received three newsletters titled The Lower Macungie Advocate. Each claims to be “A Voter Information Publication of the Alliance for a Better Pennsylvania.” The small print on the address label says it was paid for by the Alliance which is affiliated with the PA Association of Realtors. The three “advocate publications” are devoted entirely to extolling the achievements of three candidates who are currently commissioners on the LMT Board: Ron Eichenberg, Roger Reis, and Ryan Conrad, all seeking re-election to a 2nd term. …

East Penn School District
Costco Could Net East Penn $1.5 Million Annually
The East Penn Board of School Directors Monday night approved a tax increment financing plan that could bring the Lehigh Valley its first Costco in 2014 and eventually bring East Penn $1.5 million a year in tax revenue.
After a lengthy discussion and two failed attempts to table the decision, the East Penn Board of School Directors Monday night approved a financing plan that could bring the Lehigh Valley its first Costco as soon as fall of 2014 and ultimately put an estimated $1.5 million per year into the school district's bank account. The plan approved by the board to help fund the proposed $140 million Hamilton Crossings shopping mall in Lower Macungie Township is what is known as Tax Increment Financing or TIF. Basically, a TIF is an economic tool to help develop a site that requires a large amount of money to pay up-front costs. In this case, the land – 63 acres off of Krocks Road between Hamilton Boulevard and the Route 222 bypass – needs …

@ Emmaus90 - Costco Wholesale, the nation's fifth-largest retailer, pays its workers 42 percent more on average than its closest rival, Sam's Club. (from a NYT article). The argument is that they are a quality employer, not that they are a quality (as in Promenade Shops type of) store. And Costco is NOT owned or in any way affiliated Walmart. @ Faith - this TIF would not cost taxpayers anything, … more ›
