    Larry Stout

    A recurring theme in the County Commissioners Meeting is lamenting the number of issues that they must deal with that were caused by previous administrations.

    Teach, and I made plans to do something fun. She recently pulled the trigger on a new kayak, and we hoped to make a trip to Little Pine State Park. Her purchase caused some division within the house. I suggested she borrow from one of our friends but no- she just had to have her

    A long debate over a grant request at a recent Lycoming County Commissioners meeting seemed to take on Shakespearian dimensions — “to be or not to be, that is the question.” Hamlet was talking about his mortality, but this debate appeared much less momentous. The subject was about bicycles for parolees. When a county agency
