The Lycoming County commissioners met this week for a session that ran longer than usual, filled with the kind of detailed work that keeps a county functioning but rarely captures public attention.

In a well-known metaphor dating back to 1879, the phrase ‘there’s light at the end of the tunnel’ is often used to describe the end of disappointing times. Unashamedly, repeating its usage today, the same can be said as March’s arrival has brought with it increasing daylight, signs of approaching spring, the beginning of the
