Race Results


With only 93 votes separating Candidate Billings from Candidate Egolf, will Mr. Billings call for a recount and a counting of the absentee ballots?

Given this tight of a race, we wouldn't blame him, or be surprised. Seems like the news of a potential tax increase inspired more voters to turn out in this off election year.

On initial view it appears as though the voters in Lower Macungie have decided to covert to a "first class" township. Given that Lower Macungie is the fastest growing municipality in the State of Pennsylvania and we are number two, perhaps we should follow their lead and add a ballot question in 2008 on whether we should become a "first class" township as the benefits are very convincing.
