We had a very busy day yesterday.  We attended the rally for education in Harrisburg at the Capitol rotunda and visited with Representative Mirabito to encourage him to vote increased school funding. Later we drove to Milford to meet with the Susquehanna County Democrats.

Today Aqua America will begin to tear down some of what is left of the Riverdale Mobile Home Park in Jersey Shore, PA.

I attended Hands across Riverdale Prayer Vigil last evening. While it was going on people were trying to salvage what they could: their outdoor plants and the siding from their former homes to sell for scrap.
