Qualifications I taught at Lewisburg Area High School for 39 years, dealing with students, parents, and administrators, representing all social groups. I have lived in the Lewisburg area for the better part of 56 years, 20 years within the Borough, so I believe I know this Borough and this area pretty well.
We need a representative from Ward 4 who lives on the west side of Route15, the "forgotten" part of Ward 4. Many of the past Borough Council members were not residents of the west section of Ward 4. Residents west of Route 15 deserve the same recognition and services as those who live in the other three Wards as well as the “in-town” part of the Ward. Except for St. Mary Street Park, we don't even have the three-globe street lights. Street lighting on the west side of Route 15 needs to be expanded. We need to look at our street projects. Some Ward 4 streets west of Route 15 are in dire need of repair or resurfacing. Matlack Avenue springs to mind. In short, we are tired of being the residents of the Borough “out towards Mifflinburg."
