Comments
Good evening. Eagerly looking forward to Autumn's insights.
Safety, Drugs, Parking and Traffic around the Elementary Center all need to be discussed and in regards to traffic coordinated better.
I wonder if the Elementary Center's electric account will also be discussed. Reviewing Lehighton's electric costs vs. competitors needs to be negotiated for the benefit of the stakeholders. That 800# gorilla has been ignored for too long.
All net savings will be beneficial to both district stakeholders and the community taxpayers. Lehighton is one of the few government owned electric monopolies left in Pennsylvania.
Here is an opportunity to allow the people the freedom of choice over the government's over reach. The benefits of such a government enterprise has long past, bloated by the inevitable.
Sincerely,
Citizen David F. Bradley Sr.
