New supervisor

Josh Taylor is the new West Marlborough Township supervisor, replacing Michael Ledyard, who stepped down from his position in April.
Mr. Taylor was the chairman of the township's planning commission, and its members aren't happy to lose him.
"You can't have him," chorused members Nancy Swayne and Anna Myers as Supervisor Bill Wylie announced Josh's promotion at the beginning of the township meeting May 7.
Mr. Wylie was unmoved: "You'll have to come up with another chairman," he told them.
Mr. Taylor is wearing a sling on his right arm after shoulder surgery, and as he took his seat at the supervisors' table, one audience member called out, jokingly, "Looks like they really had to twist your arm."
Both Mr. Wylie and Supervisor Hugh Lofting praised their former colleague Mr. Ledyard and thanked him for his service. Mr. Wylie called him "sensible, optimistic, well-spoken and even-tempered," and Mr. Lofting recalled how he could always "keep things simple and straightforward." Mr. Lofting said he appreciated Mr. Ledyard's ability to cut through legalese (he is an attorney with Morris James in Wilmington) and pointed out that being a supervisor can be a demanding job: "Somebody's always irritated," he said. "Mostly at you."
The supervisors took a brief break from the meeting to honor Mr. Ledyard with a reception featuring an Italian rum cake from Termini Bros. bakery in Philadelphia.
