Kutztown Borough Council recently voted to send a letter of opposition to state legislators and the State Association of Boroughs indicating the Boroughâs opposition to the proposed Senate Bill 597.

The Water Quality Accountability Act Bill 597, introduced by Sen. Patrick Stefano, amends Title 66 (Public Utilities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for water and wastewater asset management plans.

Voters turned out Tuesday in Waynesboro to choose longtime Mayor Richard Dick Starliper in the Republican primary.
Barring a write-in or third-party candidate, Starliper will win his fifth term in the November election.
The incumbent, who has served 16 years, held off challenges from Janeen McChesney and Douglas Carranza in the Republican primary.
Starliper took 56% (428) of all votes, with McChesney finishing second with just over 26% of the votes, and Carranza finished with almost 18%. There were no Democratic candidates. I was out and about meeting people all day at the polls, and I appreciate all of the support from the voters in the Borough of Waynesboro and for their confidence in me to serve another four years.
