Proposed 143 District breaks up my community
Hello, I was disappointed to see my community, Plumstead Township, separated from Doylestown in the re-drawing of our state house district. These two communities are bound through educational, commercial, and community centers. Some residents of Doylestown attend with my children in the same elementary school. Many of their friends in both Doylestown and Plumstead townships will attend high school in Doylestown. Our commercial strip bleeds into Doylestown commercial's strip. Our school district headquarters is across the street that divides our township in Doylestown Township. State decision making affects our community the same, so having a representative that represents both as we have for years makes sense. I was just at a Plumstead township meeting last week. We partner with Doylestown Township on grants for spending to improve our shared resources as our streets are tied together. This seemless relationship, some residents think they're in Doylestown when they are indeed in Plumstead township shopping centers. Please keep our community together.
