David Breidinger says that "it's time for a change in local Northampton Township too look to the future." In reality, the change occurred a few years ago when the Democrats gained control of the Board of Supervisors. It was the Democrats who acted in the interest of the residents of the township and stopped the building of a Giant Supermarket on the site of the former Davis Pontiac. This would have caused excessive traffic, which would have created a safety hazard in the middle of Richboro. It may well have caused the loss of jobs, by putting one or both of the two nearby supermarkets out of business. It was also the Democrats who negotiated a fair compromise regarding the erection of cell phone towers, which, in some cases would have been placed in the front yards of homes. Both of these actions were protested by the residents of Northampton Township. This shows that it is the Democrats who act in the interest of the residents of Northampton Township. It is time to look at the present and the future, and not let a change on the Board of Supervisors take us back.

You're kidding... Right? Cell tower issue occurred because the sitting supervisors failed to act earlier leading to a compromise that should have not been needed. The residents stopped Giant with their lawyers. Time for a change...
