Election time is right around the corner. Picking the right elected official

You have to get it right with the upcoming election. Every vote counts.

     With election time right around the corner and the signs popping up at intersections all over the place, how do you know who is the right candidate?  With the upcoming primary election in May, you can only vote for the party for which you are registered.  Everyone should take their time to investigate all of the candidates.  It is extremely important to get it right. Vote for the person that you think has the best intentions for your municipality, borough or town. Having the wrong person or people elected can have a disastrous effect not only for your community but it can also effect entire regions; not to mention give your local town a black eye.

      We have seen recently how having the wrong people in elected office can cause passion and dissent. A decision made by the few can effect the many in ways that most of us could never have imagined.  Think about the person who has the thoughts of many, not just a few. This is the person for the job.
