To the Residents of Kennett Township:
I’d like to thank the residents of Kennett Township for electing me to the Board of Supervisors.

Letter: Stevens supports Leff in Kennett
To The Editor,
I’ve known and worked with both Richard Leff and Jim Przywitowski for several years. I have been asked by various residents whether I will endorse either for election on November 5th as Supervisor of Kennett Township. It is now time to publicly declare my choice: I support Richard Leff.

Letter: Leff needed in Kennett for real change
To The Editor,
I just wrote a very big check for KCSD school taxes, up yet again from last year. It is indeed a privilege to live in bucolic Kennett Township, and good schools are important, but the resulting taxes are becoming prohibitively expensive for many of us.
A major part of this problem is the current haphazard approach to development in our township. For every new house built, two...

Letter: Kennett Twp. holds too large a surplus
To The Editor,
The financial management of Kennett Township funds is in disarray. With an operating budget of approximately $3 million/year, the current Board of Supervisors has accumulated a massive General Fund of $9 million dollars.
