In Carlisle, Tuesday’s ballot won’t be just about filling the borough’s elective offices.
Residents are also being asked whether they want to embark on a study of home rule, the municipal equivalent of a constitutional convention.
Council voted in January to place a question on the May primary ballot asking whether a study commission should be formed to explore whether it makes sense for Carlisle to adopt its own charter for local government, and replace some of the current limitations imposed by the state’s borough code.
The issue got some legs after last year’s arrest of former borough tax collector George Hicks on drug charges, and a resulting examinations that found Hicks had done a shoddy job of record-keeping.

Revitalization in our community will require partnerships between local, county and state governments as well as local grassroots leaders. Council representatives not only represent their constituents, they represent the community. By nurturing relationships with decision makers at every level we can bring focus to our goals and objectives.

Lackawanna County would find itself on a rarely traveled path if voters were to approve a switch in county government from the traditional three-commissioner form to a system with an elected council and an elected executive or appointed manager.
Luzerne County made the transition in 2012, and Allegheny County did it in 2000.
But in the four decades since it became an option under Pennsylvania law, a mere six counties – Luzerne and Allegheny included – have adopted home rule charters that scrapped their three-member boards of commissioners in favor of an executive/council or a council/manager form of government.
A group led by Dunmore insurance executive Chuck Volpe wants to place a referendum on the May 21 ballot to establish a commission to study and recommend changes to county government, with the expressed goal of replacing the commissioners with an elected executive and elected council.
What’s better?

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s victory in Pennsylvania marks the sixth straight presidential election in which state voters have picked the Democrat.
Which raises the question: Has Pennsylvania finally lost its swing-state status?
The battleground status of the historically competitive state was the subject of political scrutiny for much of 2012. Even when the Republicans made a brisk, last-minute attempt to wrest it away when some polls showed the race tightening, Obama still won without breaking much of a sweat.
If Pennsylvania was shaded blue on a dry erase board after previous elections, this year it might be colored in with a permanent marker. Pundits and politicians interviewed this week offered differing takes.

Tomorrow’s election is crucial to the progress of Pottstown. Everyone needs to get out and vote!
The Pottstown School Board race will decide how well the school district and the borough continue to work together. If we are going to move forward as a community, cooperation between these two bodies is essential. We can continue to work together or go back to infighting and agendas, which have gotten us exactly nowhere. The choice is yours, but at least make a choice and vote!
If you truly want “citizens for responsible government” running Pottstown, then Friends of Pottstown Public Education and Sixth Ward Councilor Jody Rhoads need your vote tomorrow and NOT the people on the glossy postcards from 222 Chestnut Street (that have flooded our mailboxes in the last several days).
The Pennsylvania Primary Election will take place next week on Tuesday, May 17th. ”Man of the people” Jody Rhoads is running for re-election as Sixth Ward Councilor. Jody is asking Sixth Ward residents for their vote on Tuesday.
As your Councilman I
Fight When You’re Right!
Tuesday, November 2, 2010 is election day in Pennsylvania. There are many important races. We are electing a new governor and a new U.S. Senator. Other races include U.S. congressional seats.
Get out and vote! Polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm.
Pottstown Polling Places:
Tomorrow is Election Day! If you are unhappy with how things are going in your corner of the world, GET OUT AND VOTE! Otherwise, things won’t change.
Tomorrow’s elections are for municipal officials, school board seats, District judges, PA Superior Court judges, Commonweath Court judges and Common Pleas Court judges!
If you live in Pottstown SD (4 seats open) or Owen J Roberts SD (6 seats open) I hope you vote. These elections will impact your wallet depending on who gets elected and what course of action each district will take as a result.
Four Pottstown Borough Council seats and Pottstown Mayor are up for grabs. Again, if you don’t like the way things are going now is your chance to vote for change. We need more people on Council who will move Pottstown forward!
The polls are open from 7 am until 8 pm tomorrow (Tuesday, November 3rd). If you are not sure where to vote, you can go to the Pottstown Borough website, for example, and find out. Pottstown lists polling places under About Pottstown, Voting Locations on their website:
