My state representative in Harrisburg is Republican Doyle Heffley. Mr. Heffley was first elected in 2010, running on a platform of property tax reform. He has been in office 12 years, part of that time with a Republican governor and both houses of the state legislature in Republican control. Pennsylvania still has an unfair property tax system, and school district incomes depend on whether the district is located in a rich or poor area.
This year Mr. Heffley is running on a platform of property tax reform. He does that every two years like clockwork. Nothing changes.
His opponent, Richard Kost of Palmerton, has no wealthy campaign donors. Kost also is not beholden to PACs, party leaders, or Trump. He is a regular guy who believes in public service. He is not glib, but he is honest. He graduated from Kutztown University with a degree in political science. He is a NASCAR fan, but I can overlook that small flaw.
I’m voting for Kost. (Actually, I did already–by mail.)
