The Dallastown Board Majority Picks A New Business As Usual Member

One thing was certain going into this school board election year at Dallastown.  

If longtime board member Earl Miller stood for re-election he would suffer a crushing defeat in Region 3.  Taxpayers aren't just angry about his longtime support for higher property taxes and increased spending, but they are also incensed at the massive new intermediate school built right in their own backyard.

Miller's sudden resignation last month opened the door for the tax and spend school board majority to appoint a new member not tainted by Miller's past who could stand for this year's election.

Their pick was Ronald Blevins, who has some impressive credentials as a certified public accountant and a vice chairman and treasurer of the Wolf Organization.  He is now a consultant.

But those credentials also establish Mr. Blevins as someone who has worked for York's richest and most influential liberal Democrat, Tom Wolf.   Wolf served as Revenue Secretary for former governor Ed Rendell.

Along with Dallastown School District resident and leading York County RINO Louis Appell, Wolf has been in the forefront of efforts to promote liberal-left causes in York County ranging from Planned Parenthood to the attempted eminent domain land seizure at Lauxmont Farms.

The business as usual school board majority (Don Yoder, Mary Shoemaker, Lauren Rock, Kenneth Potter and  Fred Botterbusch) cast the deciding votes for Blevins in the second round.

Pro-taxpayer board members Don Jasmann, Margaret Ibex and Carroll Tignall supported Bill Lytle for the seat.

Will Blevins and Lytle face off in the school board primary election for Region 3 in May?????????
