Award-winning author John Green wrote a letter to the ETown School Board in response to one of his books, "Turtles All the Way Down" being removed from the curriculum. An EASD student read the letter during this week's board meeting. Powerful words, on the freedom to read and the need to trust educators, from a well-respected author.

Stay tuned for a book discussion event on this book - it's a great one!

The Elizabethtown Democratic Committee joins our community in mourning the passing of former Mayor Clarence “Chuck” S. Mummert, Jr.

Chuck served Elizabethtown for many years, first on Borough Council and then as mayor beginning in 2010. His long tenure reflects a deep commitment to the borough and the residents he served.

He was known throughout the community not only for his leadership, but also for the personal touch he brought to local events as the “singing mayor.” His service was recognized across Pennsylvania, including being named Mayor of the Year in 2021 and receiving the Governor’s Award for Local Government Excellence.

Local government works best when people are willing to step forward and serve. Chuck’s years of dedication to Elizabethtown are part of that tradition.

We extend our sincere condolences to his family, friends, and all who knew him.
