    The weekly Lycoming County Commissioners Meetings begin with reports, information items, and personnel actions. These are generally as exciting as watching paint dry, but they are necessary. What comes after are the items that have some meat to them, and thus they are known as “Action Items.” The first of these Action Items at the

    The weekly challenge of condensing political issues in a way that the average person can understand them is quite a challenge.

    Both my wife Debbie and I had chaotic 70th birthday parties.

    At the Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting on Thursday, May 22, I thought I was in for a remake of the movie “Rocky II” when Muncy Township supervisor candidate Terri Lauchle returned to follow up on the issues she brought up several weeks ago about the old Lycoming County Mall complex.

    I enjoy listening to Lycoming County Director of Voter Services, Forrest Lehman, every time he speaks in public. He has a passion for his office, and it is obvious that those who work for him and with him think very highly of their director. When Lehman speaks in public, mostly at the Lycoming County Commissioners

  • County Hall Corner: The River of Lycoming County Commissioner Meetings0

    Larry Stout

    There is an old adage from the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, “You cannot step into the same river twice.” He used the image of a river to illustrate that even consistent activities are in a constant state of change.
