Welcome!
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 and especially those who voted for me. I will do my best to work in the best interest of all Newtown residents.
Honesty · Integrity · Experience
As a Supervisor, I keep busy learning about and making decisions about issues of concern to residents, including the pollution of our streams and lakes, perfluoronated hydrocarbons (PFAS) in our drinking water, preservation of open space, traffic and parking, public safety, fiscal management, and development. 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?").
March 11: Commemoration of "Love is Love" in Newtown
BOS Meeting
Please REGISTER if you are interested in attending a Zoom meeting on Thursday, March 11, at 7:30 PM, to celebrate/commemorate the passage of Newtown Township's "Love is Love" Resolution in support of LGBTQ + minority youth on March 11, 2020 (read "Newtown Township Passes Revised Love is Love Resolution").
Although it took several tries and a modified version to get a resolution passed, I believe the process raised awareness and educated the public regarding the unique trials and tribulations of LGBTQ + minority youth.
The goal of this Zoom meeting is to continue to raise awareness. Several activists and students (see below) will be guest speakers, many of whom will tell their personal stories of being bullied, harassed, and discriminated against because of their race and/or gender identity.
Invited Speakers/Attendees include:
- Marianne Alt - Kidsbridge Tolerance Center
- Kevin L Antoine, JD - Chief Diversity Equity Inclusion Officer at Bucks County Community College and Chair of the NT Human Relations Commission
- Council Rock and George School students
- Karen Downer, President of the Bucks County NAACP
- Kristin Mallon - sponsor of the Council Rock North School Gay Straight Alliance
- Marlene Pray – founder and director of the Rainbow Room
- Others TBD
