Corman discusses array of topics in Sentinel sit-down | News, Sports, Jobs

bcox@lewistownsentinel.com LEWISTOWN State Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman, R-Bellefonte, whose district includes Mifflin and Juniata counties, expressed his support for the constitutional amendment questions voters will face in May, urged people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and weighed in on the situation between Lewistown Borough and the municipal authority on Tuesday in a sit-down with The Sentinel via Zoom. First on Corman’s mind was the continued fight against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “To me, obviously, dealing with the pandemic is still enormous and getting the vaccines out has been one of our top priorities,” he said. “I think they’ve been pretty well received. It’s been trying to clear up information for people in the 34th Senatorial District.”

Resolution passed by MABL board leaves far more questions than answers | News, Sports, Jobs

Apr 7, 2021 You’ll have to forgive our skepticism, but it seems that the finance resolution approved by the Municipal Authority of the Borough of Lewistown Monday is not a very good deal for anyone not even the Borough of Lewistown, which seems to have staked its future on the plan. Sure, the borough will realize savings not a direct payment, but savings of upwards of $630,000 through bond refinancing. Over, what, 20 or 30 years? In a municipal budget, that’s chump change. Of course, that assumes no other change in revenue for the borough based on the water deal, which is clearly not what Borough Council has in mind. It could be as simple as leasing the water authority back to itself, an easy move when you consider the MABL board of directors is stacked with borough employees who will likely at the very least feel pressure to do what they think council the very people who can decide to end their employment with the borough wants them to do.

MABL OKs debt resolution | News, Sports, Jobs

In a roll call vote, board president Ben Rager and members Jennifer Miller and Frank Berrier voted in favor. Board member Jeff Rocco, appearing via Zoom, voted against, chastising the board in the process. By allowing the borough to refinance its debt, the borough is a step closer to its previously discussed proposition to take ownership of the municipal authority and lease it to generate revenue for the borough.
