KAUFER EVENT TODAY

State Representative Aaron Kaufer had his kick off fundraising event this afternoon from 1 to 4 at Wyoming Hose Company #3 and had a really good turnout. The event was sponsored by various Kaufer backers.
Surrounded by friends and family, Kaufer was introduced by State Senator Lisa Baker and outlined his plans to continue to serve the 120th district.
Kaufer's Legislative initiatives include expanding job creation and economic development, and making Pennsylvania more job friendly for the businesses and corporations that create them. He also plans to focus on eliminating the school property tax burden placed on Pennsylvania’s homeowners. That one folks.... is a biggie.
Kaufer had a bill that passed making certain that Welfare recipients in the state would be cross checked so that they would not be collecting money elsewhere in neighboring states.
The event was very well attended and gives Kaufer a good kick off for his re-election bid.

The Representative and I spoke at length about the elimination of the property tax to pay for schools in the Commonwealth.

Was very happy to see an old friend, Jack Schumacher from Kingston at the event.  Jack served as one of the Original members of the Luzerne County Government Study Commission. Jack also was a good friend of a family member,  the late Wilkes Barre Policeman Bryson Wardle and worked in the Assessor's office with my uncle Timmy Pribula.

Speaking of old friends, I came across Richard "Dick" Adams. In the 1968 campaign, I was a young volunteer for Mr. Adams when he ran for office. I also took one of his courses when I went to the college at the corner of River and Jackson Street.

Here is Dick and his wife Linda with their grandchildren Axel and Dash. They will be eligible to vote..but not just yet.

I had a very lengthy discussion with this guy, Environmental icon Charles Urban. We covered everything from property tax reform to baseball. Charlie has sent me some information on things he is working on regarding Property Tax elimination and we'll be putting that up too.
