It took 20 days for my vote-by-mail ballot to make the arduous journey from Media to Swarthmore. I hope it will make the 15-day window to arrive back by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Regarding Stefan Roots’ opinion piece of January 3: a perspective from our neighboring town to the south is refreshing, but criticism of a proposed sale of the Chester Water Authority to help alleviate financial problems is unfair. Chester has many ills rooted in multiple causes going back decades under both Republican and Democratic administrations. While I agree that extended one-party rule is unhealthy for democracy, this is not the cause of Chester’s problems.
