Do you know that 83%of county wide elected positions are on this year's ballot? Do you know that the majority of those races involve non incumbants? What this means is that there will be a lot of faces in new leadership positions come January in the Courthouse.

You will have an opportunity to meet these new faces on September 18th, 7:00 PM at the Masonic Hall in Hop Bottom. The Susquehanna County Democratic party is hosting this non partisan event. Light refreshments will be served. Come meet tomorrow’s leaders today!

Rep. Tina Pickett (R-Bradford/Sullivan/Susquehanna) is encouraging fire companies and volunteer ambulance services throughout Pennsylvania to submit an application for the 2015-16 Fire Company, Volunteer Ambulance Service Grant Program.

Grants may be used for construction or renovation of a unit’s station, the purchase or repair of equipment, training or debt reduction. The maximum grant amount is $15,000 for fire companies and $10,000 for volunteer ambulance services. A total of $30 million will be awarded through the program.
