Home Rule best serves Lancaster County

The Chamber of Commerce as well as many Republicans and Democrats throughout the County have endorsed the proposed Charter based on our collective belief that Lancaster County residents are best served by a county government created by Lancaster County residents, and not subject to the one-size-fits-all, state-mandated form we operate under today. The Charter ties directly to The Chamber's mission to "build Lancaster County into a model of prosperity for 21st Century America" and I believe a 21st century government structure is an important step toward that goal.
