Connelly Running for FT Supervisor
Jim Connelly, Jr. has announced his candidacy on the Republican ticket for Foster Township Supervisor in the upcoming primary election.
Connelly currently serves on the Foster Township Zoning Hearing Board, and has previously served on the Foster Township Planning Commission and as Chairman of the Foster Township Universal Construction Appeals Board.
As a 35 year employee of Dresser Manufacturing and the owner of an established housing rental business, Connelly believes he has the necessary drive, experience and fiscal values to represent Foster Township taxpayers. His main concerns are eliminating wasteful local government spending and assuring that Foster Township is poised to conduct successful business.
Given the opportunity to serve, Connelly would like to implement the following improvements:
- Actively promote Foster Township, the Foster Brook Mall site and the Lafferty Hollow Industrial Park as the great assets they are and create jobs.
- Restore Foster Township taxpayers’ confidence in knowing that their tax dollars are being spent cautiously.
- Improve the traffic flow at the Wal-Mart vicinity intersections.
- Provide more coordinated support for the Volunteer Fire Departments.
- Revise the two tier sewage billing policy.
- Further cooperate with neighboring municipalities to secure “bulk” rate pricing on supplies, services and employee health care etc., while maintaining Foster Townships’ independence.
- Encourage direct communication at monthly meetings by announcing upcoming agenda items.
- Join forces with our state representatives to take advantage of available grant money.
- Schedule county and state officials to address Foster Township meetings.
Mr. Connelly is a lifelong resident of the Bradford area. He is a past master and current member of Bradford Masonic Lodge #749, a member of Local #1644 Machinists Union, a former Cub Scout leader and a member of St. Francis Church. He also currently serves as chairman of the Bradford Landlord Association.
