I hope that everyone remembers the egos come election time. Sounds like a big pissin' contest.

With all of these troubles for MCREC, I am curious as to why they recently (within the past year) hired a new Asst Director. Seems maybe the wise move would have been to hold off on that.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why do the articles focus on what Penn Twp has to say...what is Rapho's response through all of this? Why not more comments from Rapho officials? I've heard they are looking to strike a deal with a rec center to the west of Manheim.

It looks like it's time Civia Katz takes a drive out to Rapho Twp to get a response from the boys out there. I would like to hear what they have to say.

Don't get your hopes up; Most politicians are too savvy to whizz into the wind.

Penn township officials seem to be smarter than Raphos

With the climate (in general) of disgust that 'closed door' sessions have created in the past in this 'area,' at least Penn Township is not trying to hide anything. They are keeping people informed and giving them reasons why.

I'm all for supporting MCRec. If people are going elsewhere, all anyone needs to do in general is make rates fair with other townships or boroughs. If townships are still going elsewhere, then maybe it would be safe to assume that services are that much better, even though I wish townships would support the Rec's area that they reside in (school district-wise).
