Dear Friends,

Progress generally comes in small steps, but we are taking those steps quickly!

Yesterday’s press release from our statewide allied taxpayers groups was expanded and published this morning in the Towanda Daily Review.

This morning’s Reading Eagle editorialized the issue here.

And the statewide taxpayers’ alliance, which yesterday morning numbered eleven participating groups, is now at sixteen.

All of this is very good news!

One more note: Beginning today, these letters will be sent to members of the Reading Eagle editorial staff. If you have other media contacts that should be receiving these updates, let me know.

Please bring as many concerned citizens as you can into this group by having them join this list at pataxpayers@gmail.com. Together, we can get this job done!

Thanks for all of your help.

David Baldinger
