Toot

I still don't quite get the concept of townships in PA. If anything needs done from anything like plowing, you can't contact your elected officials because they're never available. They never return calls to voicemail. Then when you finally get their landline phone number at home, they claim another township plows their roads. When you call that township, they claim they don't plow roads at all and rely on another township.

Same thing with other road maintenance. There's a stupid policy in PA where traffic light maintenance goes to the local municipality. So if a broken traffic light is in a township with 3 people, there's little chance that's going to get fixed.

They should get rid of townships and just have counties, so we don't have to rely on elected "volunteers".

@StampedingLonghorn townships are just called towns in every other state, except Michigan

@tebrown Facts! Those other states also do things at a county level as well.

@StampedingLonghorn interestingly, where I live in NY, most things do not happen at the county level. It’s kinda bizarre.

@tebrown That is bizarre, but at least they have county roads which are in really nice shape.
