I read with great amusement the nuanced bewilderment of [Kathy] Do and [Gregg] Linder. In my simple view, [Jeff] Hellrung did not endorse anyone. The assertion of Do and Linder that an organization “single-handedly defeated two referendums” is an insult to the majority of district voters who disagreed with their position concerning the renovation of the high school. ...

Letter to the Editor: A vote for Horowitz
Posted by ChaddsFordLive on October 30th, 2015
On Tuesday, I will go to the polls and vote for Alan Horowitz. I will do so as a proud Republican, but also as an even prouder resident of the Estates of Chadds Ford and citizen of Chadds Ford Township. I will vote for Alan for three key reasons: His business and leadership experience; his commitment to protecting Chadds Ford from over-development; and his ...
Letter to the Editor: Shame on you, Jeff Hellrung
Posted by ChaddsFordLive on October 30th, 2015

Op/Ed: Horowitz will be a supervisor for us all
Posted by ChaddsFordLive on October 30th, 2015
If there's one thing we can all agree on, it is that Chadds Ford is at a crossroads. We can either take a strong stand and protect our open space and scenic beauty, or we can allow development from Concord Township to overwhelm us. This is why our choice for supervisor on Tuesday is so critical. And this is why I believe Chadds Ford residents of all parties should ...
