“(Powell) has been a 50-year resident of Young Township, a Punxsutawney Area High School graduate, a widowed mother of three productive/responsible children and grandmother of seven. As a successful former business owner and operator, she understands the value of a hard-earned dollar. Her intentions are to protect the interests of the taxpayers’ money in Young Township; she is honest and will work hard for the betterment of all. She is a firm believer that in accordance to the law, the township business and decisions should be addressed in a transparent open forum where everyone can voice their opinions and concerns prior to a decision being made. She is truly concerned for the future of Young Township if the spending continues the way it has in the recent past. Her goal is to prevent unnecessary tax increases, all while properly maintaining roads and managing township business in a fair and concise manner.
