An ordinance that would abolish a decades-old ward system in York County was vetoed after intense pushback from community members.
Wrightsville Borough residents expressed their concerns for the possible change at a council meeting on Monday. Some residents said that replacing the three ward system with a single district would make it more difficult to connect with their local government.
“I have two representatives for my ward. That’s who I go to when I have a problem. If we don’t have that, I have to go to all seven people to reach out; that’s not efficient for us,” said Karen Oster, a resident of Ward 3.
But Councilmember Eric White says eliminating the wards would lead to an additional council member for the area, expanding representation and bringing in new ideas.
