For everyone who has a complaint, problem or issue, for how things are being done in their respective Municipalities and/or School Districts, and for those who constantly complain in the Mercury’s Sound Off, and/or the various Blogs, I have some suggestions.
1. Rather than pointing a finger, raise your hand, and work to bring about change.
2. Run for elected office, by getting your name on your local Ballot.
For additional information, and support, on/for getting your name on the Ballot, Republicans should contact Gail Yoder, of Pottstown; and Democrats should contact Jim Prendergast, of Lower Pottsgrove.”
