On Nov. 5 make your vote count. Elect the county council candidate who will represent all of us, not just a chosen few.
We need fresh minds with innovative thoughts to move our county forward. Under the current county council majority, our Home Rule Charter is stagnating. Every election should contain at least one question pertaining to the county’s charter. An issue for the people to decide.
County council is the legislative branch of our government. They need to pass resolutions and ordinances that will enhance and improve its overall functions.
The three-minute time limit for public interaction must be expanded and a normal, back-and-forth response to questions restored.
The willingness to grant KOZ’s, LERTA’s and other tax breaks must be reduced or eliminated.
Constant reliance on solicitors to interpret plain English must end and the openness Home Rule was meant to elicit restored.
Vote for a candidate who stands for all of this and more. A person who already spends hours and hours of his personal time watching out for the best interests of Luzerne County and its residents.
Please, join me in electing a champion for the people, a voice for all of us.
Vote with me, a registered Democrat, for County Council Republican Candidate Walter L. Griffith Jr.
