Dubois / Sandy Twp. Consolidation 6:47 pm
After the Sandy Township Supervisors voted 4-1 against consolidating with DuBois, area residents started a petition to get their voices heard.
Sandy Township Supervisor Sam Mollica said it only took three days to get these petitions filled.
“With Sandy Township we got over 600 signatures and DuBois had over 300,” he said.
He said they needed 166 signatures from DuBois residents and 209 from Sandy Township residents to get the consolidation question on the ballot in the fall.
“I just wanted to give the people an opportunity to have a choice whether it’s yes or no to be able to vote,” said Mollica.
