I am a professional and a natural problem solver. My role at Storks Auto/Storks Plows spanned a wide range of responsibilities, including business administrator, management, title clerk, taxes and finances, sales, computer knowledge, and a love for working with people, I have had previous dealings with both Penn and Bern township over the years, which has given me some valuable insight into local government.
I have some concerns about the township. I would like to help make a difference in the community. As I speak with residents of Bern Township, a recurring concern I hear is about Route 183—specifically regarding increased traffic, speeding, and a rise in accidents. This issue is also a concern in Penn Township. I understand there are some changes currently being considered in Penn, and I believe addressing the problems along Route 183 should be a top priority. Additionally, we could involve the Reading Area Transportation Study (RATS) to help identify and implement solutions to improve safety and traffic flow on Route 183.
I would begin by reviewing the data and the research findings. There are several counties in Pa where the water is totally unfluoridated while many counties are still fluoridated. Fluoride is a naturally occurring substance found in rocks that leaches into groundwater. The natural level of fluoride in the water varies and those level may be a factor.
Raising awareness of the hazard to the local community would be a key first step. One possible remedy could be a tax credit for residents to purchase and in-home fluoride filter. I understand that they can be very effective. This puts some of the power in the community to protect their health. If further intervention is needed, I would look into other options.
