Who in Venango County will show leadershihp on issues of fairness and equality?

It probably won't be State Rep. Scott Hutchinson or State Sen. Mary Jo White. They are both co-sponsors of the discriminatory anti-family legislation known as the Pennsylvania Marriage Amendment.

The proposed legislation would ban marriages for same-sex couples, civil unions and possibly more for all unmarried couples.

To overcome a stigma of small town intolerance brought about by the very visible works of the Hutchinsons, Whites, and Gramleys of the area, other leaders in Venango County are going to have to step forward to show the world a different face ... one that welcomes all who want to invest in making the area a dynamic and creative place to be.

Who will it be?

Where are the Mayors of Oil City and Franklin? The County Commissioners? School Officials? Social Service Agency Executives? Clergy? Community and Civic Leaders?

The Silence is Deafening.
