Get involved

To the Editor: I was recently an Independent candidate for a seat on the Franklin Borough Council. Although I did not succeed in my attempt to win the position, I would like to express my gratitude to all the residents who encouraged and supported me in my campaign. I wish the best to the winners of the election, and will do all I can to assist them in making Franklin a better place to live. I welcome new council member Patrick Barton, and hope that he will bring a fresh perspective to the issues at hand. I, hopefully, will still continue, as a member of the Franklin Economic Development Committee, and am anxious, as Chairman of its newly formed Main Street subcommittee, to attempt to address the revitalization issues on Main Street. Thanks again, for all your support, and PLEASE get involved in your community .by attending the council and board meetings. Elizabeth A. (Betty) Allen Franklin
