Candidate filed under wrong party
Joe Burkot will appear on the Democratic ballot as a candidate for Mercersburg Borough Council, but he is actually a Republican.
Burkot s nomination petition identified him as a Republican, but it was accidentally placed with the Democratic petitions after he turned it in, according to Byer, the county deputy clerk. It was as simple as it got placed in the wrong box, she said.
There is no time to fix the ballots. Byers only learned of the error in the first week of May, when Burkot brought it to her attention. The ballots were already printed and the vote-counting machines were already programmed.

The Medal of Honour (often erroneously called the Congressional Medal of Honour) is awarded by the President of the United States “in the name of the U.S. Congress.” It is its country’s highest and most prestigious military decoration.
It is awarded for (and this is the official language): “Conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty.”
Over 3,500 Medals of Honour have been awarded since the first one in 1863. In all the time since then, one, and one only, has been awarded to a woman. That was in 1865, and they tried to take it back from her in 1917 but she wouldn’t give it! She refused. So they revoked it.

I am running for a position on the Borough Council to make positive changes in our community. I am willing to listen to anyone on any subject concerning the borough with an open mind.
Our town is a community that should have everyone’s interests considered not just a select few. We need to progress such as seeking available money such as grants and funding rather than always raising taxes.
