My name is John Mack and on November 5, 2019, I was re-elected to serve a 6-year term as a Newtown Supervisor. I would like to thank all the citizens who came out and voted that Tuesday. I will do my best to work as a Supervisor serving all Newtown Township residents.
Honesty · Integrity · Experience
As a Supervisor, I go the extra mile to alert my constituents to new and developing issues and utilize my position as an elected official to obtain input from local residents as to significant issues facing our community (e.g., via “Meet Mack Monday” Zoom meetings). I keep busy learning about and making decisions about issues of concern to residents, including traffic and pedestrian safety, the pollution of our streams and lakes, perfluoronated hydrocarbons (PFAS) in our drinking water, preservation of open space, fiscal responsibility, and overdevelopment (read “Newtown Area Residents Are Very Concerned About Overdevelopment”). On average, I spend more than 40 hours every month on official Supervisor activities including interacting with residents, preparing for meetings, and attending meetings (read "What's the Hourly 'Wage' of a Newtown Township Supervisor?").
Residents Discuss Chick-fil-A
At the 29 April 2024 Meet Mack Monday Zoom meeting, several attendees discussed the plan by Chick-fil-A to build a drive-thru restaurant at the northwest intersection of the #NewtownPA Bypass and Newtown-Yardley Road. Listen to the discussion with slide notes in the following video:
Afterward, Donna Serdula, one of the attendees launched an online petition drive against the proposal, cited traffic issues as one to sign her petition. “It's on Newtown-Yardley Road and Upper Silver Lake Road,” she noted, “and Newtown-Yardley Road can't handle the existing traffic. If there's a Chick-Fil-A there, you're not even going to be able to make a left onto the bypass. It's going to become impossible” (read “#NewtownPA Resident Launches Petition Opposing New Chick-Fil-A Off The Bypass”).
As of 5 May 2024, over 500 people have signed the petition!
