By Bill Connell, Somerset.
Long ago I was a young professional, talking to my Father about work. In an effort to show him how smart I was I irritated him. He said “Listen you little p%$&k, when you are done playing games I will show you how it’s really done.” Sadly he passed away within weeks of this remark but it has always been in the back of my mind. You can always know more.
This thought was in the back of my mind when watching the Republican candidates being interviewed on the Franklin Reporter & Advocate News Hour. This is not an insult, its just a fact. They all have motives to run for office but if per chance they win, what they experience will be totally different than what they are confident about today. I have concluded that Township Council is the last stop on the political food chain where party does not matter. Who you are, your background and how you conduct yourself matter more. The best current example is Mayor Kramer. Two years ago, if asked, he might say making sure the Animal Shelter is properly funded is a major goal, but he had no idea he would become the Covid Yoda of Franklin. His personality, background, and personal compassion made this an easy adjustment.
