Ballot Issue: Proposed Home Rule Charter
In Luzerne County, the Home Rule charter question passed on November 2nd. This is bad news for Luzerne County. It now means that we will have no sheriff to protect our people from abusive government. We also will not have county commissioners who are directly elected. Instead, we will have one county manager or executive who is appointed by an elected 11-member committee.
One of the keys to good government is having honest individuals in the positions of the government. Changing the form of government is no guarantee that better government will result. Furthermore, removing the people's constitutional protection in the form of the sheriff is a step in the wrong direction.
Our group is interested in attracting those who want a return to a more constitutional form of government in the county.
The web links below are still intact so that you may learn about the new form of government..
