"Didn't answer any questions" I am sure that wasn't a shock to anyone. I emailed, called, and even wrote letters trying to get him to answer some direct questions about the NIZ. Guess what I got ? Nothing. These are the kind of politicians that need to find there cushy job they recieved from favors and just melt away.

I am not surprised by what you stated. Rumor has it that Mr. Browne is not running for public office after his term expires. The NIZ enabling legislation, created by Browne, did not conform to the PA Constitution; I have heard, from people more familiar with the situation than I, that years ago he wrote legislation that lead to the current PA teacher pension crisis. These were seriously flawed pieces of significant legislation that Mr. Browne had responsibility for creating. I am firmly Republican, but I still believe Mr. Browne is not representing the public very well.

I contacted LVHN several months ago about volunteering with my son (8 years old) at the AndersonRead More campus. I would stay with him at all times and supervise him. I was told that they do not accept children. I think its a shame that the hospital will not accept him a a volunteer. I am trying to teach him how to give back to his community . Apparently the hospital does not want our help. I think several patients, especially older ones, would like getting assistance from a young child.

Tom, LVHN does not have an Anderson Campus. I believe you are referring to St Luke's Health Network.Read More LVHN is not able to accept volunteers under the age of 16 years old. There are many mandated reasons that young children are not allowed to volunteer in a hospital setting. Volunteering is a wonderful thing to teach your children. There are organizations in the Leigh Valley who are willing to utilize families. Please visit the Volunteer Center of the Leigh Valley for other opportunities in your area. www.volunteerlv.org
