Monroe County voters share what matters to them this midterm election

What brought you out to the polls on Tuesday? Across the Poconos, volunteers and voters turned out in substantial numbers to cast a ballot in what could be one of most popular midterm elections in recent years. Traditionally, the midterms draw fewer voters than presidential races, though according to Ballotpedia , rates have been increasing since hitting a relative low point of 36.5% of eligible Pennsylvania voters participating in 2014. In 2018, 51.7% of eligible voters cast a ballot, and in 2022, 54.4%. And with the heated lead-up to this year’s election, there are plenty of hot topics on people’s minds. More: Results for state legislative, congressional races in Monroe County Volunteers outside the Polk Township Volunteer Fire Company in Kresgeville said that foot traffic on Tuesday morning was strong, but no issues arose. Anthony and Pat Candela said they came out to vote due to both large-scale international and domestic issues. “I don’t like what’s going on with this country. It’s just disgraceful. The biggest thing is Russia: I hate the idea of him being so cozy with Russia. And people will vote for him to do these things,” Anthony Candela said. “Nobody stands up for the little guy.

Williamsport ranks second in Pa. cities where young adults want to build careers at home

Williamsport, Pa. — More than half of young Pennsylvanians say they want to stay in or return to their hometowns to build careers, according to a new survey, with Williamsport ranking second statewide among cities where that commitment is strongest. A resume.io survey of 3,052 adults ages 18–35 found that 51% of young Pennsylvanians are committed to putting down professional roots in their hometowns. Family ties and lower costs of living topped the list of reasons, and those willing to accept lower pay to stay local said they would take an average 10.5% salary cut. The survey ranked cities by the number of respondents who said they planned to stay or return, with a minimum of 50 responses per city. The top three Pennsylvania cities were: ErieWilliamsportAltoona In Williamsport, technical education and manufacturing support skilled careers in the region.

West Branch firemen to provide gear to Lycoming, Sullivan fire departments

Montoursville, Pa. — The West Branch Firemen’s Association will distribute standardized rural water supply equipment to fire departments across Lycoming and Sullivan counties during an Oct. 31 event in Montoursville. The distribution is the result of a regional standardization project led by the association to improve rural water supply operations, the process fire departments use to move water to fires in areas without hydrants. Departments will receive 3-inch locking Storz adapters and 5-inch clappered Siamese appliances, paid for with support from local partners and donors. The locking Storz adapters create a consistent, secure connection at water fill sites, so any apparatus from any participating department can connect the same way at any site in the region. The clappered Siamese appliances let crews offload large volumes of water from tankers and engines at a fire, feeding attack lines and water distribution systems without interrupting the flow. Equipment incompatibility between departments has long slowed rural water shuttle operations, the association said. In a water shuttle, tankers cycle continuously between a fill site and the fire scene; every delay at the connection point adds minutes to turnaround time and reduces the water available at the fire. Standardizing the connections is meant to shorten
