Supervisor Mack Responds to KRE's Request to Recuse Himself from Hearing

The Newtown Township Board of Supervisors met on 18 September 2023 to resume hearing a validity challenge of its ordinance brought by a developer [KRE Upper Macungie Associates LP] seeking to build a multistory, 245-unit apartment building on Lower Silver Lake Road.

[KRE] also filed a preliminary motion to disqualify supervisor John Mack from hearing the challenge arguing that his blogs and Facebook postings have shown his bias against the filing (read “Developer Moves To Disqualify #NewtownPA Supervisor John Mack From Zoning Challenge Hearing”; https://sco.lt/83oLrc).

At the hearing., Solicitor Dave Sander asked Supervisor Mack "if he can hear and decide this case fairly based on the evidence presented to the Board of Supervisors in this proceeding?"
