To everyone who called, email or spoke with our local state Senators, thank you.   Although they passed the proposed budget that cut Main Street and Elm Street funding, they heard us.

Next week, I will have a far more organized campaign from the Pennsylvania Downtown Center with sample letters, scripts and a petition.

Over the next six weeks, we will see a raging battle in Harrisburg as two very different fiscal philosophies battle to create a balanced budget.

We need to speak up and talk as one voice from across the state in defense of a program that is a proven economic engine. During a recession, you don't cut a program that is returning life to our small towns and neighborhoods by leveraging, supporting and encouraging private investment.

To everyone who has offered to help spread the word, thank you and sit tight until I have all the material we need to share a unified message.

I was very moved by the number of people who called, emailed and stopped by to share their support of Souderton Telford Main Streets. I do have the best job in  the world!

Now on to the news you always expect from our office.
