While I support the curtailment of overdevelopment in SWT and increased transparency, I do need to know where you stand on larger issues that the Republican party faces. <br />I am an independent voter and have no dog in the larger GOP fight. But I am seriously concerned with the obsequious response of PA state Repubs to the challenges to our democracy that were committed on January 6 by a mob at the request of the disgraced former president who could not accept the legitimate outcome of the national election. Anyone reading this, please save yourself the embarrassment of defending this lie as it has been proven false in over 60 lawsuits filed by the ex presidents legal goons who are now in the in the process of losing their legal licenses for bringing frivolous lawsuits to the courts.<br />Again, I'm not trying to carry water for any party, but I would like to know where you stand on this issue as it is very important to me and a host of other independent voters.<br /><br />Regards,<br />John Zabrenski <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664141748082633707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-43616834193030285072021-08-16T17:38:33.534-04:002021-08-16T17:38:33.534-04:00Brad,

Today, I received a letter announcing your candidacy for a vacancy in the South Whitehall Board of Commissioners. As an independent voter, I support your platform to counter overdevelopment, lack of financial audits (this may have been straightened out), tax increases, etc. <br />However, I need to know where you stand on larger issues such as the lack of response by the national GOP to the January 6 insurrection, PA attempts at voter suppression and gerrymandering as will as support for investigation and possible prosecution of any and all criminal and treasonous acts of the former president. <br />Regards,<br />John Zabrenski<br />Long time resident of South WhitrehallAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664141748082633707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-87880882349535287652021-02-27T19:51:54.931-05:002021-02-27T19:51:54.931-05:00Absolutely.

The management and staff are top-notch and caring.

In fact, I understand the county will be appearing before the SWT Zoning Hearing Board tonight to ask for 2 variances needed to move ahead.
