March 17, 2017
Social studies teacher Mr. Anthony Lanfrank is running for a seat on the Stroudsburg Borough Council.
The Stroudsburg Borough Council makes rules and regulations for the borough of Stroudsburg, such as creating the budget, approving buildings, and determining taxes. Ai??It takes a minimum of 10 signatures to get on the ballot. The primaries take place in May. Then, the nominees go to the general election which takes place in November.
Lanfrank’s passion for politics kicked off after being furloughed. He felt it was his ai???civic duty to help people.” If elected Lanfrank believes he can ai???fix stalemates within the council by utilizing common sense.”
Lanfrank is in charge of the Progressive Club, Mock Trial, and is involved in the planning commission. The planning commission recommends approval for buildings to the council. Lanfrank states that, if elected into the Stroudsburg Borough Council, he plans on using a ai???pro-growth, common sense approach.”

It would be great seeing Lanfrank have this seat in the borough council. With a positive approach and with being a teacher he’ll have a good basis on the school and how to improve education and improve the community as a whole. He’s an awesome guy and it would great seeing what Lanfrank/ Batman can accomplish.

I think it is so important to have an actual teacher who has a seat in the council. Not only will he want to benefit the lives for our whole district but his own teacher staff as well. Being a teacher, you see all sides of the highs and lows regular high school business. Landfrank being a part of the progressive, it’s easy to see that he is pushing for a better environment for everyone and not doing it for his own personal reasons. I hope he gets a seat in council and starts making impacting improvements to our school. Go landfrank!

It would be great if Mr. Lanfrank made it onto the council because he’d bring a teacher mindset and that would help making improvements in school.

I find it really cool how he is running for a spot in the council for we can get someone who actually knows what is happening. Some people might be in the council but dont understand what is actually happening in the inside. Lanfrank is a teacher and a father and if he were to get into the council he would be a huge help with the common sense program he is trying to influence.

I think it would be really cool if Mr. Lanfrank gets into the council because then he could bring a good views of school but also how children might be able to improve with in school.

I agree with the “common-sense” approach but at the same time not everything would be common sense. There would be situations that would make it more difficult to use common sense. So him saying he is going to use this idea is a smart idea but at the same time he is taking a leap with what he would be able to do.
