Welcome to the Valley. At this site, you'll find some links to things Ringtown and thereabout. And some rants about Schuylkill County politics. Stay tuned - this could get interesting...
August 2005
Despite previous rants here and in the blog, Schuylkill County is not a bad place to live. I think politicians generally make bad decisions (cough--nepotism--cough--unethical behavior--cough, ugh, excuse me) that affect the quality of life, because someone has to pay for politicians to line their pockets. In Pennsylvania, it might be time for a clean sweep.
December 2003
So the Schuylkill County Commisioners are raising property taxes to fund the construction of yet another community college (YACC? © 2003 D. Davis) :) Anyway, let's see:
- Shouldn't a college be able to pay for itself? If it can't generate enough business to pay for itself, maybe we don't need yet another community college...
- A community college WILL NOT ATTRACT THE HIGH TECH BUSINESSES THAT SCHUYLKILL COUNTY NEEDS! Sorry for shouting, but really...
- I don't mean to be a naysayer, but isn't there better things we can do with our tax dollars? Why increase the tax burden on an aging population so that the low-paying manufacturers and warehouses can have a slightly-more educated menial labor force?
