Today's Times News published an article entitled "Opera house, neighbors make peace over noise." The article went on to explain how the management of the Opera House in Jim Thorpe and some nearby neighbors who were concerned about the noise levels had come to an understanding.
Earlier in the week, Representative Heffley had actually proposed introducing legislation to exempt historic districts from the regulations of the Liquor Control Board. This is exactly not the way to handle a local problem--introduce legislation that applies statewide to handle a problem that is local to Jim Thorpe.
I congratulate the citizens of Jim Thorpe and the people who run the Opera House for coming to an understanding. And my note to Rep. Heffley is that we already have too many state laws and regulations. Local problems should be worked out at the local level.
