Pottstown Borough Hall
Editor’s note: It’s pretty freakin’ sad when the Philadelphia Inquirer has to write up something like this about Pottstown. Everybody knows why this situation exists, except for the do nothing Borough Council who are off in Lala Land taking a group cruise down the river Denial! What an embarrassing write up and very damning because of the enormous readership of this MAJOR MARKET publication!!!!!

Roy's Rants - For Your Information 
Roy,I sent an email to the Inquirer reporter on Sunday asking for some corrections, and the courtesy of a callback so some things could be explained which were completely overlooked in the column. The columnist has not had the decency to respond to my requests. I plan to pursue directly with the editors. DebSent from XFINITY Connect Mobile App
