There are going to be some exciting stories developing in 2016.
1. Who will win Chris Ross' seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives? Three Republicans have already declared their candidacy. Because of his moderate stances and personal charisma, Chris appealed to many voters who otherwise would have supported a Democrat. But what will happen now?
2. Who will win Joe Pitts's seat in the U.S. House of Representatives? The always-conservative voters in Lancaster County will have a heavy influence on that race.
3. How will the controversy over the Newlin Township equestrian ordinance play out? The Pennsylvania Attorney General's office has ruled that the township's new ordinance is too strict and violates state regulations for agricultural uses. The township supervisors are supposed to meet with a representative from the AG's office next week. Residents are following the issue closely.
4. Will the library manage to turn itself around? East Marlborough Township has just named Tom Swett to the misstep-prone library board. Tom is a well-known and popular citizen with influence, smarts and fundraising experience, and he and the other new members might just have a shot at starting to restore public faith in the library after a truly awful year of controversy. First step: Swallow your pride and dump the "Kennett Public Library" name change. It has brought you nothing but grief and criticism.
5. Who will take over the Unionville Community Fair? The current president is stepping down and so far no one is stepping up to replace her. It's a huge job, but I would hate to see this wonderful tradition go by the wayside.
