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?").
Wawa Berm Drive By
Previously, there was a ten (10') foot embankment at the Bypass line of Wawa's Property. The plan is to cut that embankment to approximately four (4') to five (5') feet high. According to Wawa’s representatives, “the berm has to be cut down in order to provide visibility,” said Wawa representatives.
It is clear that with the planned elimination of the berm along the Bypass and Lower Silver Lake Road, that the building sign and gas pump canopy will be clearly visible.
This video taken on 22 July 2024 shows the progress to date regarding remaking the berm, which now seems covered in hay to protect seed planting for creation of a grassy berm, or as some might say, Newtown’s “Grassy Knoll.”
“Our founders wanted us to know what our government representatives are doing. They knew that a healthy press is essential to a healthy democracy—and it’s worked for almost 250 years.” – Bucks County Herald. Also important, IMHO, is for elected government representatives to keep citizens they represent informed.
