My name is John Mack and on November 5, 2019, I was re-elected to serve a 6-year term as a Newtown Supervisor. I would like to thank all the citizens who came out and voted that Tuesday. I will do my best to work as a Supervisor serving all Newtown Township residents.
Honesty · Integrity · Experience
As a Supervisor, I go the extra mile to alert my constituents to new and developing issues and utilize my position as an elected official to obtain input from local residents as to significant issues facing our community (e.g., via “Meet Mack Monday” Zoom meetings). I keep busy learning about and making decisions about issues of concern to residents, including traffic and pedestrian safety, the pollution of our streams and lakes, perfluoronated hydrocarbons (PFAS) in our drinking water, preservation of open space, fiscal responsibility, and overdevelopment (read “Newtown Area Residents Are Very Concerned About Overdevelopment”). On average, I spend more than 40 hours every month on official Supervisor activities including interacting with residents, preparing for meetings, and attending meetings (read "What's the Hourly 'Wage' of a Newtown Township Supervisor?").
Single-Use Plastic Bans – Newtown vs Doylestown
On March 19, 2024, Doylestown Township's Board of Supervisors authorized the advertisement of an ordinance to eliminate the use of single-use plastics bags in the Township as a step toward reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste in our community. Meanwhile, Newtown Township's single-use plastics ban ordinance went into effect on April 9, 2024. The following short Powerpoint presentation video compares the major differences between these two bans.
