Upper Pottsgrove Area 2 Republican Committee
From your Commissioner Candidates,
Dave & Tom
We believe people want a government that reflects their values, listens to their concerns, and plans responsibly for the future.​
That’s exactly what we think—and why we're asking you to stand with us.
​
Our opponents believe that suing the township is the best way to resolve issues. They will spend more of your hard earned tax money to make a political statement.
​
Also according to current commissioners and counsel this suit may cost the township millions of dollars in contract cost without building anything.
​
Our opponents also have stated that we support this lawsuit against the township. We unequivocally opposed it. We never stated it nor have we even talked to them about the suit or anything else. These are the types of tactics that they believe win elections, we oppose them.
​
Our opponents had the chance to run the township in a ​fiscally responsible way, but chose not to, causing the current board to sell the sewer system to avoid financial default and the state taking over the township.
​
Our opponents also approved multiple new developments without the proper guardrails in place ensuring contractors up hold their commitments in finishing work.
​
Do we really want to go backwards to the same old issues and ideas moving forward?
​
