Lycoming commissioners approve new DA's salary

Williamsport, Pa. — Lycoming County commissioners approved the salaries of the new district attorney and first assistant district attorney this morning. Martin Wade, previously First Assistant District Attorney under District Attorney Tom Marino, was officially sworn in Friday morning, Nov. 6 following Marino's resignation last week. Commissioner Mark Mussina reminded folks that the DA position will be on the ballot next November, and that Wade is effectively the "interim" DA until then. Under Pennsylvania law, the first assistant automatically assumes the district attorney’s office when the elected district attorney resigns mid-term. Wade will serve the remainder of Marino’s term, which ends in November 2027. Commissioners unanimously voted to pass Wade's annual salary of $233,916 and newly-appointed First ADA Phoebe Yates' annual salary of $107,720. Each is listed to have gone into effect on Nov. 8. Yates — the first woman to hold First ADA position in Lycoming County — began working as a Lycoming ADA in January 2023, and held a similar position in the York County District Attorney's Office for nearly seven years before moving into the Lycoming office. She was sworn into her new position alongside Wade last Friday. This position is appointed, not elected, and thus will

Loyalsock Township proposes eliminating municipal property tax for 2027

Loyalsock Twp., Pa. — The Loyalsock Township Board of Supervisors announced a proposal to eliminate the municipal property tax for the upcoming 2027 budget. Under the proposed budget, the township's real estate tax rate would drop from 0.5 mills to 0.0 mills, effectively removing the municipal property tax burden for all local property owners. The financial impact is about $375,000 per year in township revenue, according to Bill Burdett, township manager. Other revenue sources, cost savings measures, and financial reserves will cover the loss of revenue, Burdett added. Former 14-year Loyalsock Township Supervisor and current Lycoming County Commissioner Marc Sortman said at a commissioners' meeting this morning that the proposal is "just a phenomenal thing" and "shows government can work properly." "Government can reduce what they do, the size that they are, and they can save the taxpayers’ money," Sortman continued, largely crediting Burdette for the proposal. The historic proposal was introduced by Chairman Paul Nyman, Vice Chair John Bower, and board members Virginia Eaton, Mike Reed, and Rich Trowbridge to provide direct financial relief to the community amid broader economic pressures. "This action will help our residents, businesses, and particularly our seniors by reducing their property tax burden," Burdett

North Shore Railroad’s Veterans Benefit Voyage raises $16,000

Northumberland, Pa. — North Shore Railroad Company & Affiliates has raised $16,000 for two veterans nonprofits through its third annual Veterans Benefit Voyage. The railroad presented checks of $8,000 each to Hunts for Healing and Expedition Orange on Nov. 4. Heavy rain at the primary event, held July 18 at Test Track Park during Berwick’s World War II Weekend, reduced ridership in the year’s first voyage. To make up the difference, the railroad added proceeds from some ticket sales from later passenger events, including rides at Stallion Infrastructure in Montoursville on Aug. 22 and during Danville’s Heritage Festival, to make the donation more substantial. Hunts for Healing offers outdoor recreation such as fishing and hunting for wounded warriors and is run entirely by volunteers. Expedition Orange uses horse and rider to raise national awareness and support for Vietnam veterans and families affected by Agent Orange exposure, and gives $1,000 to a veterans home in each state it visits. Both organizations pledge to put 100% of donations toward veterans. In 2024, the railroad dedicated two locomotives to members of the U.S. military: LVRR 9052, the Veterans Unit, and LVRR 9050, the Memorial Unit. This year’s rides also featured the railroad’s Semiquincentennial
