I wanted to take a moment and express my appreciation for all the people who voted for me in the General Election. I am very humbled!It was an honor to meet all the wonderful people of Forks Township and discuss the future of our community. Many people have asked whether I am going to stay involved in township activities. The answer is yes!I truly believe we shaped the debate about our future.

The unofficial tally is in and Erik Chuss and Bob Egolf are to be the newest Forks Supervisors.  Congratulations to both fine candidates.  You worked hard and long to gain the trust of Forks voters.  The four Forks Supervisor candidates waged some of the cleanest campaigns ever seen.  It was truly a race among the good guys.  It's too bad for Forks Township that only two candidates could win.

Greetings from the campaign trail….I have been walking the neighborhoods this past weekend to meet the people of Forks Township. I have walked the streets meeting our fellow residents in almost every neighbor. I had the chance to discuss the future of our township and how to solve the critical issues facing our community. I heard a very strong message during my travels. We can do better!On Sunday

Greetings from the campaign trail….I have been walking the neighborhoods to better understand the needs and desires of Forks Township residents. I have been very fortunate to meet so many wonderful people who wanted to discuss the future of Forks Township.

Greetings from the campaign trail…One of my three campaign themes is Quality of Open Space. This is a tricky issue as we face the challenges of how we manage our future growth. So, what is Quality of Open Space? This concept is all about our ability to aggressively manage growth within the context of our current zoning laws and the PA Municipal Code. I know it is easy to make a campaign

Greetings from the campaign trail…One of my three campaign themes is Quality of Government. So, what is Quality of Government? In my mind, Quality of Government has three basic components. First, a candidate for public office should have the highest level of integrity. Second, we need to have an open access policy. Finally, proactively reach out to the public on critical issues and seek diverse

Greetings from the campaign trail…..We have seen many changes to our community in the past few years. We face many challenges as we try to maintain critical public services, update the infrastructure to support our growth, and sustain fiscally responsible policies with our township finances. I believe we need to develop robust recreational opportunities for our children and senior citizens.

Greetings from the campaign trail...I attended the Forks Township Planning Commission workshop on February 27, 2007. The planning workshop was designed to gather input on the current Forks Comprehensive Plan and to discuss ideas regarding how to update the Comprehensive Plan by year-end 2007.Possibly due to lack of information about the process, it seems the Forks Township residents are not

If you could wave a magic wand and change five things in the township right now, what would they be?1. Eliminate the ability of a Forks Supervisor to hold other township paid positions. 2. Establish a road map and financial plan to restore Forks Township EMS to Advanced Life Support Status. 3 . Hire a town manager to manage the day-to-day activities of
