Time to pick up a petition

If you live in Pennsylvania and you would like to run for Township Supervisor or Borough Council member, petitions are available on Feb. 14 at your County Registrar’s Office, and you have until March 9 to get the signatures.  You only need ten for municipal offices.

If you think you aren’t qualified, you probably haven’t been to a borough council or supervisors’ meeting lately.  I’m fairly sure you are qualified.

The problem is not that too many people run, but that not enough run.  If you have some problem-solving abilities, common sense, and patience with your fellow citizens, run for office.  School boards especially are crying out for candidates who reasonable and put educating children above some ideological hobby horse.
