Patty • 4+ years in Lancaster
April 10, 2025Lots of old boarded up homes and buildings. No Jobs or plants. Not enough apartments that seniors can afford. Lots of pot holes on our roads that our grandchildren have to drive on to school........ so bad and outrageous taxes. Why we have to pay for School Tax and don't have children in school?
