Kenneth D. McCrea
for East Cocalico Township Supervisor
Reasons for Running
[Short Version, Click here for Detailed Version.]
1) The Supervisors aren't representing Township resident's interests with respect to development.
2) Government should be open - keep us informed of activities and plans before they are finalized.
3) We need to protect the rural nature of the Township.
4) Spending and tax increases should be controlled, and actions that will increase school taxes limited.
5) We need long-range planning that considers the wishes and interests of the current residents.
6) Special meetings should never be used to hide controversial information from the public. Workshop meetings should be for discussion, not to hide votes on controversial issues.
7) We should periodically review all contracts to ensure that the services are being delivered in an economical and efficient manner.
8) Future growth within the Township must be managed to limit ultimate population density.
9) The Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance should be revised to protect the Township rather than to promote development.
10) We should hold informal "Town Meetings" to seek input from the residents prior to finalizing new ordinances, policy changes, or major expenditures.
