Home Rule in Pennsylvania permits municipalities to write a Charter which is akin to a local constitution. The Charter is subordinate to the Constitution of the state, and otherwise only to laws that apply to ALL municipalities in the state. State agencies seem loathe to explain to citizens just how much self-governing power that makes available to them. Can Home Rule stop sprawl? Can it stop a Wal Mart? That depends on what goes into the Charter, and writing a Charter depends on first electing a Government Study Commission to consider the options. The possibilities are real, but the current government has not explored or implemented them. So, what can a Home Rule Charter do for Windsor Township? The answer is: plenty. Should you vote for the Home Rule Government Study Commission? Yes, if you think the options should be explored and new options placed before the people of the Township.
