Interview with the Pottstown Mercury
Today I gave an interview with Nancy March, editor of the Pottstown Mercury newspaper as part of their “Ask the Candidate” program (Part 1 and Part 2). Before the interview began we were talking about the Mercury’s expose on the ineptitude of the federal stimulus plan as I had predicted in a January 2009 article [...]
Volunteering at Habitat, Cropwalk and Upcoming Events
Yesterday a bunch of campaign volunteers assisted Habitat for Humanity’s Lehigh Valley chapter build homes in southside Bethlehem. I have volunteered throughout my life for Habitat, and it is a great charity. For those unfamiliar with it, Habitat builds homes for folks who are not well off. A big reason why I like this group [...]

Letters to the Editor over Debate Barring

Response to Morning Call’s Skewed Poll

Happy Constitution Day!

Callahan’s website has far less traffic, with 8.4 million websites – including Towne’s – having [...]
