  3. Thank you for finally exposing Houldin and her political chronies for how they operate at the expense of the good citizens, my x-neighbors, and the soon to awaken residents of Newtown. I applaude you and BPG for having the guts to pursue her and her corrupt financial supporters

  4. Mr. Spencer,
    Newtown Township has an ordinance allowing home based businesses.
    Please take the time to do a little research before you write your articles. Thank you.

  5. Dear Interest:

    According to the Newtown Township code:

    "R" district (residential) does not permit office use except by "Special Exception."

    Excerpted below:

    "You're allowed to have a professional office in a residential district by special exception. Zoning ordinance defines a professional office as
    "A vocation including lawyers, doctors, dentists, architects and similar callings which the Zoning Hearing Board deems to be of the same general
    nature as the above. [Amended 9-8-1980 by Ord. No. 1980-16]". Whereas a service office, which is only permitted in the A-O Apartment/Office
    District or the O - Office Zoning District, is defined as

    "A building containing sales or business offices or the offices of a bank, doctor, dentist, physician, mortician, surgeon, optician, attorney, real estate broker, insurance broker, accountant, tax
    consultant, Justice of the Peace, teacher, architect, engineer, draftsman, artist and no other."

    Also "Summit" claims "there was never a police cruisers (sic) at Linda Houlden's house on Friday..."

    Spenceblog stands by SpencerColumn's reporting.
