Carey, who has been a member of the Shavertown Fire Company for nearly 50 years, said that his term with the company will help him if elected. “I held every office in the fire company and am a member of the board of trustees,” he said. “I know what needs tobe done in adecision- making position.” Carey is satis- fied with the way the township is run but would like to see the su- pervisors have a bit more say. “I am in favor of home-rule govern- ment,” he said, “but it seems like we have a couple of people leading the whole outfit.” Bob Brown Robert Brown, a resident of Newberry Estate, Dallas, has adeep feeling for Dallas Borough since it has been home to him for most of his life.

Borough has operated on a year- 'N@-year basis with little emphasis ‘on the future. It is this concern + that has prompted my decision to . seek a seat on the council. Dallas Borough, like many small communities, faces a difficult fis- cal future. Previous sources of revenue, such as federal revenue sharing, no longer exist while state and county grants are in short supply. In addition to these cut- backs, Dallas Borough has had to cope with a near stagnant tax base since very little land is left within ' §@le borough boundaries for resi- dential and commercial develop- ment. Taxation, recreation and con- solidation are three issues I feel I must address. Although taxation is an unpopular issue, I favor a tax which has no impact on those liv- ing on fixed incomes, such as a small increase in the earned in- come tax. I will also support our recreation program as one of the services the Borough should pro- vide to its residents and their chil- dren and if elected, will strive to renew council's commitment toour children by finding the means to =nhance its activities and supervi- : ‘Spon budgets. If the Borough is to survive into the 21st century, we must strive to develop a new approach, a gradual move toward consolidation with its neighboring communities for the various services provided to . the taxpayers. = Bill Peiffer .
