Reading Needs Help. Where's the Pitts?

This week's flooding in Reading was serious. An entire sector of the city was flooded, water running through Riverfront Park, Reading Area Community College, and hundreds of residents had to be evacuated. That entire part of Readingis in the 16th Congressional District. Joe Pitts' District. Where is the Congressman? He has yet to issue any comment on the devastated area or done anything to support hose constituents flooded out of their homes.

Perhaps Mr. Pitts doesn't know this area is in his District. That could be since he does so little for these people. He won't even staff a full time office in Berks County. I have a few suggestions for everyone in Reading along the Schuylkill: first ask Joe for help and, second, remember your absentee Congressman when you vote for Lois Herr on November 7th. Berks County went for Lois with over 60% of the vote in 2004 and this illustrates why.
