The October 1 Board of Supervisors meeting was held at the Oaks Firehouse. Again. I am not sure if this is a quasi-permanent change in venue until the new meeting hall is opened or why this change of venue was dictated by the Board. Recall that the Board was previously meeting at the Rec Center, …

Why does Lori Kasper feel the need to capture my ladies’ room visit on her cell phone? What possible interest could she have in my restroom visit that she felt compelled to surreptitiously capture it on video? This is a question I find myself asking as I review the video of the 10-1-18 UPT Board […]
It wasn’t widely publicized, but the Board met twice during the week of 9/17: the regular Board meeting of Monday, 9/17 and a joint meeting with Trappe Borough Council on 9/20. In fact, the only mention of the 9/20 Joint Meeting was as a housekeeping item at the end of the 9/4 meeting when the …
The 9/17 meeting was notable primarily for its brevity, which clocked in at a mere 40 minutes: a record for this Board in spite of the many starts and stops to educate them on matters that were either procedural or otherwise included in their packet.

Two and a half hours. That was all I could see when I looked at the August 6, 2018 Board of Supervisors meeting. Two and a half hours. And just to get to those two and a half hours, I’d have to sit through Pearson butchering another reading from “Chicken Soup for the Soul.” Ugh. …

Watch out! You might get what you're after, – Talking Heads This post may interest you if you rely on 9-11 in Upper Providence Following the fiasco of the June 18 Board of Supervisors meeting, where it quickly became apparent that decisions and deliberation about the Rec Center and the Fire Services were being conducted …
Remember that time John Pearson and Pearson’s Girls® thumbed their collective noses at Pennsylvania’s Sunshine Laws? "Oh, which time is that?" You may be wondering. "There are so instances of questionable transparency." I’m talking about the most recent time, at the July 16 meeting, where John Pearson admitted, for the record and from prepared notes, …
Gentle Readers, there is certainly something to be said for attending Board of Supervisors’ meetings in person, especially when the microphones are malfunctioning. I'm not sure quite what it is that should be said, but suffice to say, there is nothing quite like being moralized to in person by the likes of John Pearson. Sunshine …
