To the Editor:

Don’t think primary elections are merely a formality. They have consequences.

For you Republicans in South Whitehall Township who are in favor of higher taxes, more explosive growth, and budgets betting on development for future tax revenue to pay for today’s spending … stay home on May 21.

But, if you are interested in these issues, do your homework and identify the three of five candidates who have firm convictions and passion for these issues.

I have reviewed the platforms of Diane Kelly and Mike Wolk, and they stand for what I believe.

Vote on May 21, or you give up your right to gripe and complain in the future.
