Watching and listening to the many borough meetings that I attend and video record it has become obvious the borough government needs to get out of private enterprise.
We have good dedicated people in our government some with good business backgrounds yet when the government in good faith tries to run what should be private business it does not work. It’s the government process it self that makes what should be money makers be money losers. Our local government needs to return to what government is for. That is to provide needed services that the residents can’t provide for them selves. These include; roads, water, sewer, police. There are some very public enterprises that the government can be partners with but not operate. These include; museum and library, electric power. Beyond that what looks like a service becomes a drag on the economy. Private enterprise will pick up and operate other needed services. The government needs to stay out of the way of business.
Thank you;
Bill Kurz
