Meet Mack Monday

Join Me for a Chat

Are you concerned about over development in Newtown, tax increases, traffic, quality of our roads,  preserving open space or about any issue that has or will come before the Board of Supervisors (BOS) and other township boards and commissions?

Feel free to attend one of my Meet Mack Monday (MMM) events that I host periodically, usually the 2nd Monday of the month before the first BOS meeting (refer to the Event Calendar for specific dates and access to registration form). I will inform you of items coming up for discussion at public meetings you may not be able to attend and that are not televised. I will listen to your concerns and together with other residents and business owners I will try to come up with solutions to problems that make sense for Newtown as a whole.

DISCLAIMER: Meet Mack Monday meetings are not official Newtown Township meetings. The opinions expressed at Meet Mack Monday events are solely those of John Mack and the attendees of the meeting and do not represent the opinions of any other entity.

As usual, we will meet via Zoom at 7:00 PM. Items on the agenda include:

  • Sycamore Street Pedestrian Safety: Speed limit reduced to 25 MPH – from where to where? What’s next?
  • 2023 Road Program: At the February 8, 2023 BOS meeting, supervisors will approve advertising for bids to repave up to 4.5 miles of township roads – 2.32 miles in the “Base Bid” plus 2.18 miles in the “Alternate Bid” (depending on availability of funds). Which roads are included? What roads in your neighborhood need repaving?
  • Earned Income Tax (EIT): Did this tax increase or decrease for Newtown in 2022 versus 2021? I will present Keystone Collections Group data regarding Newtown resident, non-resident, and delinquent EIT. Why is this tax so important for Newtown and its residents?
  • 2022 Speeding Citations: How may speeding citations did the Newtown PD issue in 2022? On which roads did motorists get speeding tickets? Which roads did NOT have speeding citations?
  • Provco/Wawa E30 Zoning Validity Challenge: At the January 30, 2023, Zoning Hearing Board (ZHB) meeting, Provco/Wawa challenged the E30 zoning ordinance regarding signage and number of fuel dispensers (see “Provco/Wawa Appeals ZHB’s Decision”). I will review that hearing and explain how the Jointure shares expenses related to this validity challenge.
  • Tractor Trailer Trucks Parking on Lower Dolington Rd: What did I learn after bringing this up at the February 8, 2023, BOS meeting?
  • Other issues to be determined. RSVP to let me know that you plan to attend this meeting. I will send you the login information. You can tell me what topics interest you the most as well as what other topics you think I should focus on at this meeting. Even if you cannot attend, please fill out the RSVP form and I will send you the meeting presentation and summary of the discussion.
RSVP to Attend!
