Erie City Council primary election: 8 Dems, 2 GOP running for 4 seats

No matter what happens at the polls, the seven-member panel will look much different in 2022.  However, only one of City Council’s current members whose seat is on the ballot, Democrat Liz Allen, chose to seek re-election. Besides Allen, a former reporter and editor at the Erie Times-News who was first elected to City Council in 2017, the other Democrats on the ballot are Jasmine Flores; Elspeth “Kate” Koehle; Kendrick Tate; Cory DiLoreto; Marcus P. Yuille; Maurice “Mo” Troop; and Chuck Nelson, a pastor who lives in the city’s west bayfront.   Flores, Koehle and Tate are running as a slate affiliated with local social justice group Erie County United.

Clean energy: What Erie-area homeowners should know about solar panels

The first thing to understand about solar power is that sunny days aren t necessary to make energy. “It’s not sunshine that you need for solar energy, it’s daylight and the sun rises every day,” said John Purvis, owner of Solar Revolution, a solar installation company in Erie. “Obviously, on sunny days the panels generate more energy, but even on a cloudy day, there is UV light and that is all you need.” So, even if you buy into the “dreary Erie” trope and think solar power would be a risky investment in Erie, Pennsylvania, there are many homeowners who have been converting daylight into electricity for years. And they are happy to show off their electric bill to prove you wrong.
