Navigating The Local Government Elect If you’ve ever been confused about who does what within your local government, mark your calendar for 7 p.m. on Wednesda,y April 19. On that evening at the New Milford Borough Building 175 Main Street, the League of Women Voters of Susquehanna County will present Penn State Cooperative Extension experts Joanne Kowalski and Peter Wulfhorst to help untangle the maze. Who’s in charge in an emergency? Whom do I call if I have an issue with my sewer line, a dirt road that’s been undermined by runoff? What if my neighbor is polluting a stream? How are land use decisions made, and do I have any input in these decisions? How are my local taxes used? Where do I get information on ordinances? What exactly do township Supervisors do? How do I contact the County Commissioners, my Borough Council, the Sheriff? Where do I get voter information? Both Mr. Wulfhorst and Ms Kowalski have many years experience working effectively with municipal officials. Their presentation will explain how Pennsylvania local government is structured, who is responsible for what, and how decisions are made with local planning tools. Avoid frustration. Eliminate the run-around. Take two hours to get to know the local government you pay for. League events are free to all. There’s no such thing as a stupid question; we don’t know until we ask and learn. This is a rare opportunity to have all your questions about local government answered. For more voter and League information go to www.susquehannaCIN.net.
