Award Winner Honored for Six Decades of Service
The Arc of Chester County has
been helping individuals with dis-
abilities and their families for 60
years creating and offering a wide
array of services including early intervention and edu-
cation programs, housing and employment services,
transportation and summer camps. For its ongoing, out-
standing commitment to the community, The Arc has
been named the Mosteller Community Service Award
winner by the Greater West Chester Chamber of
Commerce (GWCC).
The award, given annually since 1961, will be pre-
sented at the Chamber’s annual banquet to be held
February 5 at the Mendenhall Inn.
Jeanne Meikrantz, who becamethe non-profit organi-
zation’s executive director in October when long-time di-
rector Diane Carey retired, said she was excited and
honored to learn The ARC waschosen for the award es-
pecially given the number of excellent community serv-
ice organizations in the community.
“As the incoming executive director, I know how for-
tunate I am to have been given the opportunity to join
such an incredible organization and community,” she
said. “This award is a great testament to the dedication
and contributions of those who have worked so hard to
fulfill the mission of The Arc and provide quality serv-
ices to individuals with disabilities and families.
Whether hosting an event such as Breakfast with Santa,
adopting individuals and families in need during the
holidays, advocating for a child’s right to education,

When Alvy Kelly turns 80 on Jan.
27, 2013 he will have much to cele-
brate: a wonderful family that now
includes three great grandchildren;
Kelly’s Sports, the thriving business
he started 40 years ago; the many
West Chester community projects
he helped fund and build,and a list of accolades he has
received for his many community endeavors.
On February 5, Alvy will celebrate another achieve-
ment when the Greater West Chester Chamber of
Commerce (GWCC) honors him as its 2012 Outstanding
Citizen of the Year. The award, presented each year
since 1948, will be given at the Chamber’sannual ban-
quet at the Mendenhall Inn.
When he learned of the award, Alvy, fit and trim at
nearly 80, was taken a back.
“I am certainly honored,” he said during an early
morning interview at Kelly’s Sports on Matlack Street
and Route 202. “I’m still trying to figure out why.”
“This all seems like a dream,” he added gazing around.
“I don’t look for thanks but it’s certainly nice to be ap-
preciated.”
Looking back, Alvy said he began working when he
was 9, hunting and trapping muskrat with his late friend,
Jim Brice, and selling them for $4 each to a local furrier.
Alvy then caddied and set-up bowling pins. He joined
the Air Force right out of West Chester High School
serving during the Korean War from 1950 to 1954. He re-
turned home and married Adelyene Izzi Kelly. Alvy and
Addy, who passed away in 2005, shared 52 years of mar-
riage and raised three children.

Alvy worked in the defense and space missile division
of Burroughs Corporation from 1955 to 1972, helping to
install the first Atlas missile siteat Cape Canaveral, Fla.
He had been selling sporting equipment out of his house
when he was laid off from Burroughs in 1972. Alvy and
Addy took the opportunity to start Kelly’s Sports at
West Chester’s Parkway Centerand opened a second
store in Kennett Square in 1980. The two stores and a
warehouse were consolidated at the current West
Chester location in 1985. Under the leadership of their
son Steve Kelly since 1995, Kelly’s Sports now has about
80 employees with a second location in Harrisburg.
Along with Addy and Kelly’s Sport’s, Alvy has over the
years been responsible for untold philanthropic projects
in the Greater West Chester community from creating
and restoring athletic fields, establishing the Little All
American Football Association (LAFA), to donating and
installing lights at community and educational institu-
tions at all levels. Kelly’s Sports and its owners have
been honored many times by athletic, business and
civic organizations, as well as by educational institu-
tions such as West Chester University and Cheyney
University. In 2008, Alvy was inducted into the Chester
County Sports Hall of Fame. That same year, Kelly’s
Sports was named GWCC’s Business of the Year.
Retired since 1995, Alvy remains active in the com-
munity and gets a tremendous amount of joy when
meeting former parents and players who recognize him-
from his days as anEast Side Little League coach.
Mark Yoder, GWCC president, looks forward to pre-
senting him with the Outstanding Citizen award in
February.
“We are proud to honor one of West Chester’s native
sons,” Yoder said. “Alvy’s accomplishments may seem
like a dream to him, but to those of us who have seen
what he has done in and around West Chester, his gifts
and talents are a wonderful reality. He truly exemplifies
the meaning of outstanding and we thank him for his
longstanding and ongoing efforts on behalf of our com-
munity.”

Hurricane Sandy was one of the
costliest storms to hit the United
States. The massive storm hit the
East Coast at the end of October.
The areas affected were declared
federal disaster areas by
President Obama which allows
for some special rules related to
reporting casualty losses, making
charitable contributions and the
filing and payment of taxes including trust funds.
Businesses and individuals who suffered storm dam-
age have the opportunity to report their unreimbursed
casualty losses on their 2012 tax return or amend the
2011 tax return. The benefit of amending the prior year
return allows for a faster refund. However, there are
other considerations which may affect the decision to
amend. The rules related to reporting and calculating ca-
sualty losses are complicated and should be evaluated
by a qualified professional. Some owners of rental real
estate may actually owe taxes due to the extensive dam-
ages and insurance reimbursements. If you have suf-
fered a loss, it is important to provide your accountant
with complete information. Below is a listing of infor-
mation that your accountant will need to complete your
tax return:
• Property description – for real estate show location
• Whether the property is business, income pro-
ducing, or personal use
• Date of acquisition
• Original cost plus any improvements
• Depreciation taken in prior years
• Estimated market value before casualty
• Estimated market value after casualty
• Insurance reimbursement amount (whether es-
timated or actual)
• If not received yet, when do you expect to receive
the reimbursement?
The damage done by the storm has created a wave of
goodwill and generosity from businesses and individuals.
The Internal Revenue Service has responded by chang-
ing some rules on charitable giving to facilitate the in-
creased desire to help those affected.
• Exemptions for donations made to individuals:
Employers who help employees recover from the wreck-
age of Hurricane Sandy can exclude the donation from
the employees’ taxable income. The exemption applies
to qualified disaster relief payments, such as living ex-

counting, tax and advisory firms in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Our

lationship with our diverse client base.
penses or home repairs not covered by insurance.
Employer-sponsored private foundations may also pro-
vide disaster relief to employees affected by the hurri-
cane without effecting their tax-exempt status, though
the foundations must follow federal guidelines for dis-
aster relief through charitable organizations.
• Streamlined Review: The IRS is expediting the
approval process for groups seeking tax-exempt status to
help hurricane victims.
• Employers can set up tax-advantaged leave do-
nation programs to help facilitate cash gifts to charities
providing disaster relief to the victims of Hurricane
Sandy. Under these programs, employees may donate
their vacation, sick or personal leave in exchange for em-
ployer cash payments made to qualified tax-exempt or-
ganizations providing relief for the victims of Hurricane
Sandy. This leave donation program will be in effect un-
til December 31, 2013. Donated vacation, sick, and per-
sonal time off will not be included in the income or
wages of the employees. Employers will be permitted to
deduct the amount of the cash payment.
Due to the shutdown of our financial system and the
disruption of the business operations the Internal
Revenue Service is allowing relief from many late filing
and payment penalties. If you receive a notice, it should
be reviewed by your accountant before paying.
There are several proposals in Congress related to ad-
ditional tax relief benefits to victims of Hurricane Sandy.
It is difficult to predict the final outcome given the other
uncertainties that currently exist in our tax law. Anyone
who has suffered significant storm damage should con-
tact their accountant for specific guidance before the end
of the year.

Were you one of the Business
Owners or HR Managers who
waited until the November election
to plan for the required health care
changes enacted under the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act
(PPACA)? If so, you are not alone,
but with the Supreme Court ruling
in June and the re-election of President Obama, the
PPACA will move forward, and it is time for HR man-
agers to get started. Three major aspects that employ-
ers are focusing on are the overall cost, the shift to new
plans, and the status of part-time employees.
Cost will determine many of the changes employers
face. According to Aon Hewitt, health care costs per em-
ployee are projected to increase to $11,188 in 2013
($10,522, 2012). The projected employee’s portion will
increase to $2,385 in 2013 ($2,204, 2012), and the em-
ployee’s out of pocket expenses such as co-pays, etc. is
projected to increase to $2,429 in 2013 ($2,200, 2012).
Health care costs are rising at twice the rate of inflation.
Furthermore, the opt out rates for individuals who re-
ceive lower wages will decrease because workers who
can afford it, must obtain coverage or pay a penalty,
which will increase the enrollment rate for some com-
panies. Many employers are expected to mitigate these
dollar increases from the law by increasing the em-
ployee’s proportion of the premiums, and move to-
ward a plan that covers 60% of essential benefits
provided by the employer. Almost half of employers in
one survey are considering using a defined contribution
strategy where the employer agrees to pay a set
amount and the employee must pay anything above
that amount. When giving a range of plan options, the
employee can save money by choosing a lower-cost
plan. Employers are also enacting wellness and health
programs, some with incentives and financial rewards
if employees engage in a healthier lifestyle, and plan de-
sign strategies to encourage employees to use less
health care in order to cut cost.
Many employers are considering shifting to a con-
sumer-directed health plan (CDHP). These plans have
employees use spending accounts such as Health
Savings Accounts (HSAs) or Health Reimbursement
Arrangements (HRAs) in order to purchase health care
services directly. Generally, there is a high deductible
that employees must meet, but then medical expenses
will be covered by traditional insurance. Employees
with an HSA have control over all the money in the ac-
count: pre-tax dollars they contribute, and an optional
employer contribution. Only employers fund HRA ac-
counts, and they decide if left over money at the end of
the year rolls over. CDHPs are becoming popular be-
cause they have saved 20% on average for employers,
and they offer more personal economic decisions for
employees such as how much care to get and what type
of care to use. More than half of employees surveyed by
MBGH and the Benfield Group LLC offered CDHPs, and
many were making them the only plan option by 2018.
Finally, many employers will need to redefine full-time
employment. Under the PPACA, an employee who works
more than 30 hours/week is considered full-time and is el-
igible for health care coverage in companies with 50 or
more full-time employees. Otherwise, the company must
pay a $2,000 penalty per ineligible full-time employee. If
your company is not already compliant, there are some
options to consider: switch more employees to fewer
than 30 hour workweeks, offer new lower-cost high-de-
ductible health plans for employees, make employees
working 30 hours per week eligible for the full-time health
insurance plan, or offer voluntary benefit options in con-
junction with high-deductible CDHPs, which would shift
costs to the employee. One word of caution, part-time
benefits is a recruitment and retention tool that helps at-
tain the highest quality workers, so consider before elim-
inating benefits entirely.
The PPACA has a magnitude of implementations that
every employer needs to prepare for. Below are deadlines
that everyone should be aware of in the next 2 years
(from Allen Smith, SHRM, October 2012):
• Provisions enacted in 2013
o Health flexible spending account limit of $2,500.
o Restricted annual limit on essential benefits at $2
million.
o Exchange notices to all employees due by March
1, 2013 (there is no guidance as of yet, so this deadline
may be postponed).
o Elimination of Medicare Part D subsidy tax ad-
vantage.
o Patient-centered outcome research fee on health
insurers and sponsors of self-funded plans.
o 0.9% increase in Medicare tax for employees earn-
ing at least $200,000, which affects withholding and W-2
forms.
Preparing for ObamaCareBy Peter R. Johnson of Peter R. Johnson & Company
continued to page 11
January/February 2013 www.greaterwestchester.com 11
• Provision enacted in 2014 (the big year for
PPACA):
o Individuals must have health coverage or pay a
penalty.
o Exchange coverage.
o Employer “pay-or-play” mandate - $2,000 per em-
ployee penalty on employers with more than 50 em-
ployees who do not provide health insurance to full-time
workers
o Insurer coverage of essential health benefits (in-
dividual and small-group markets only).*
o Insurer rating limits (individual and small groups
only).*
o Insurer guaranteed issue and renewability.*
o Waiting periods limited to 90 days.
o No annual dollar limit on essential health bene-
fits.
o Coverage for clinical trials,*
o Increased wellness incentive to 30 percent.*
o No pre-existing condition exclusions, regardless
of age.
o Cost-sharing limits of $5,950 for individual cov-
erage/$11,900 for family coverage (to be adjusted for
2014).*
o Deductible limit of $2,000 for individual cover-
age/$4,000 for family coverage.* (some question
whether this requirement applies to small groups only
or both large and small.)
o Insurer provider fee—Insurer must pay based
on net written premiums.
o Reinsurance fee on insurer and third party ad-
ministrator of self-funded plan, payable 2014-16.
o Section 6055 IRS reporting for plans that pro-
vide minimum essential coverage.
o Section 6056 IRS reporting for large employers
(at least 50 full-time employees), presumably to verify in-
dividual mandate and pay-or-play information.
*Exempt plans if grandfathered (an employment
based group health plan, whether insured or self funded,
or that provides individual insurance coverage that was
in existence on March 23, 2012 defined by the Affordable
Care Act).

plan to handle ObamaCare or any other human re-
sources initiatives, please call our office.

Many years ago, a mentor
taught me an important lesson
about behavioral development.
I was in my early twenties and
still impressionable. His suc-
cinct message was: First we
form habits, then habits form
us. His reasoning being that
whatever behaviors a person
adopted as either good or bad
habits would impact that per-
son’s advancement and overall circumstances. While
I don’t remember the event that resulted in the men-
tor’s inculcation, the lesson stuck.
Throughout my life, the mentor’s lesson resur-
faced whenever I found myself in a rut due to poor
performance. These dull episodes would soon result
in an epiphany as the mentor’s reminder popped
back into my consciousness.
A simple example about habits and behaviors
might be parental guidance in helping children de-
velop good dental hygiene. The daily urging that
“brushing your teeth” is important for good health
and a proactive method for averting the dentist’s drill
is learned by children and hopefully becomes a habit.
The culmination of personal habits and behav-
iors result in a company’s culture along with the stan-
dard operating procedures. A procedure and a habit
really are not too different in that they both yield con-
sistent outcomes.
In customer service operations that lack a stan-
dard operating procedure for call scripting, problem
resolution and proper follow up, the likelihood for in-
consistent performance is ripe. These inconsisten-
cies result in a personality-based service delivery in
which customers are at the mercy of a service profes-
sional’s personality, rather than a stable process.
Therefore those service professionals, who
excel, by virtue of their positive attitude or their par-

tapes and television appearances have helped thousands of

ent’s instruction about courtesy and respect for oth-
ers, will improve customer retention, increase cus-
tomer satisfaction and, as a reward, attract a
disproportionate amount of the workload. The in-
creased workload manifests itself in at least two si-
multaneous outcomes: (1) Customers aware of the
behavioral inconsistencies will always request to be
served by the better performers and (2) Managers
will delegate more tasks to the more responsible
subordinates thereby broadening the subordinate’s
skills and ensuring more future delegation. Mean-
while, the poor performers hurt their employer’s
reputation; add unnecessary escalated calls to their
manager’s workload and wind up doing less than
their more productive counterparts.
Managers must expect the best, keep the bar
high and practice fair workload distribution. This is
easiest when everyone is a world-class performer.
When mediocrity seeps into the service environ-
ment, then everyone loses – customers, front-line
service professionals and managers.

Is Your Firm Ready for BYOD?By Neal Zimmerman, Dorset Connects
People increasingly expect to use their personal lap-
tops, smartphones and tablets at work. And they do.
More than 70 percent of U.S. small businesses allow
employees to use their smartphones for work, accord-
ing to the Aberdeen Group, a Boston-based technology
research firm.
Employers with "bring your own device" (BYOD) poli-
cies can cut their costs for purchasing and administer-
ing phones and computers. Also, employees often are
more productive and happier when using the devices
they're most comfortable with.
However, BYOD is not necessarily the panacea that
many hope it to be. Allowing employees to use many dif-
ferent types of devices for business can turn into an IT
nightmare for supplying tech support, and, more im-
portantly, securing sensitive business data and com-
munications.
If you are considering implementing BYOD at your of-
fice, or if you have done so already, be sure to ask your-
self and your IT support team these questions:
1. Do we have clear policies to prevent the sharing
of confidential or proprietary business information?
Data security is a key concern with BYOD. While some
cloud-based services offer more security than others, ul-
timately the biggest concern is often whether employ-
ees know which business information to protect and
how to protect it.
This consideration applies across the board, from
electronic files to social media to in-person conversa-
tions. Develop clear policies that apply generally to
business information and communication, and then ex-
plain how they apply to what employees do on their
own devices.
2. Can your employees reliably secure their own de-
vices?
One of the big risks of BYOD is that personal devices
might be lost, stolen or accessed by unauthorized peo-
ple. The simplest way to prevent data theft is to keep the
device locked with a passcode when not in use after a
period of inactivity. This is the setting we recommend
for our clients.
It might make sense to require employees to keep de-
vices that they use for work locked at all times -- even at
home -- with a hard-to-guess password. Be sure em-
ployees know how to lock and unlock their devices and
advise against letting other people, including family
members, use them.
Creating and managing security policies for your mo-
bile devices, while requiring some planning and buy-in
from your different department heads, is not compli-
cated or hard to implement. For example, Microsoft
Exchange 2010 allows you to set polices requiring a se-
cure passcode to unlock devices and to even remotely
wipe a device should it be lost or stolen. Free cloud
based apps can provide even greater control such as the
ability to deploy apps to Droids and IOS (iPhone/iPad)
devices as well.
As we head into 2013, business leaders should make
a resolution to work with their IT support team to plan
and implement a mobile device policy that will help
protect both their company’s and their client’s sensitive
information.
Dorset Connects offers complete IT and telecommunication man-
agement solutions that take the hassles out of managing and main-
taining your critical IT systems. We’ll customize a support plan that
is tailored to your environment and exceeds your support expecta-
tions. www.dorsetconnects.com

Jumpstart 2013: Five Tips to Make a DifferenceBy: Donna Saul, President, Donna Saul, LLC
There are lots of lists about how
business owners can prepare for a new
year. What they skip, more often than
not, are the fundamentals of building a
solid foundation and achieving the bot-
tom line results critical to the ongoing
life of a business. That’s not to say that
other aspects aren’t equally impor-
tant—should you consider mobile mar-
keting (yes), is an HR audit appropriate (maybe), are
staffing and compensation plans adequate (potentially),
but to me the key question is this: how much are you go-
ing to sell next year and where will that business come
from?
More often than not, I see what I call victim-selling:
companies cast a wide net and scramble to do all kinds of
things hoping it will generate sales, and they take what
falls their way. But that doesn’t provide a consistent way
of generating sales and revenue. That requires a solid
sales plan with sales projections —what are you going to
sell, when, and where will that business come from.
(That’s the short version.) These elements are critical to
your company’s growth, and yet they are the most fre-
quently overlooked because they are hard to build and
even harder to maintain, especially if you haven’t done it
before. But if you build them and manage the execution,
you’re sure to hit your numbers in 2013 and beyond.
Here are a few other things I consider fundamental to a
healthy bottom line:
1. Build a good sales team: The best teams have high
quality people who are developed consistently and driven
to produce the numbers. But your reps need a playable
hand including these seven cards-- the right marketplace,
a competitive offering, adequate territory, a good com-
pensation plan, good management, realistic goals and
enough time to hit them. If you don’t hold all seven cards,
get them.
2. Salesdrives marketing, not the other way around.
In my experience, you can build all the fancy marketing
programs you wish, but in the end, somebody has to sell
your product or service. Build your sales projections
then develop the marketing plan to support it. For ex-
ample, if the majority of your sales come at year end,
then enhance the months prior with a kick ass marketing
program that will prime the market and generate more
sales coming into your busy time. If you don’t sell any-
thing at year end, then don’t spend your marketing dollars
there. And don’t waste your money on low hanging fruit,
or shiny new objects in the form of a good story told by an
experienced marketing sales rep. There are no slam dunk,
one size fits all marketing plans, no matter what you hear or
read. There are only well thought out, custom plans that are
built and managed week in and week out to ensure they hit
the mark. So be critical, be judicious and be stingy until you
can be reasonably sure that the money you spend will gen-
erate the results you want.
3. Target, target, target. Unless you have money to
burn in the form of wasted sales and marketing dollars,
build your sales plan with a specific market in mind. Is the
bulk of your business this year going to come primarily
from new business, from existing customers or some com-
bination of both? Think in terms of shooting through
crosshairs with a rifle vs. a shotgun. Think about what you
want to accomplish, be realistic, and build your sales and
marketing plans accordingly.
4. Streamline processes. Be fanatical about evaluating
howyou do things and making improvements on the spot
whenever possible. “Because that's how we've always done
it," and "If it's not broke, don't fix it" just don’t cut it in these
competitive times. There's always room for improvement,
and you'll never survive if you aren't flexible enough to
change with the market and constantly develop as a com-
pany. The key to success is to make it about developing a
company culture around the idea that you’re always looking
for the best, most efficient, most productive approach --
even if you’ve been doing it the same way for 20 years.
5. Invest in one new customer touch-point: New
methodologies are popping up all the time. Find out how
your current customers came to know or prefer to connect
with you and be where they are. Whether it’s a blog,
Facebook, Twitter (or other), mobile coupons or QR codes,
or networking, spend time in making that happen.And don’t
overlook your website. It should be attractive, easy to nav-
igate, SEO optimized, with quality content that moves cus-
tomers along a conversion path. Your social media efforts
have to drive traffic somewhere, and that most logical place
is your website, so evaluate it with a critical eye – if it lacks
visibility in search or doesn’t capture and convert leads, it’s
time for an update.
Have a healthy, productive and lucrative New Year!

The GWCC Government and Legislative Committee meets on a monthly basis to discuss what is happening in the country and the local area. This month’s meeting they thought that we always hear the results of the Presidential Election, but we sometimes forget about our area.
So here are the 2012 Election Results:
o Presidential and Statewide Elections: Democrat candidates won all of the statewide elections in Pennsylvania stunning many pundits and giving a setback to the Pennsylvania Republican Party. Polling close to Election Day indicated that PA was in play for Mitt Romney leading to a last minute advertising blitz and visits from Mitt Romney, President Clinton and several prominent surrogates. However, PresidentBarack Obama (D)easily won Pennsylvania and eventually the nation. For Pennsylvania Senate, Bob Casey (D)defended a challenge from Republican Tom Smith, even though polls had that race being dead even leading into Election Day. Tom Smith spent millions of his personal funds to best Casey. For Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Freed (R) was easily beaten by Kathleen Kane (D). This race attracted national Super PACs who ran attack ads, some of which have been denounced by the very candidates they were designed to help. State Representative Eugene DePasquale (D) won the open seat for Pennsylvania Auditor General and Rob McCord (D) won a second term as State Treasurer.
o Congressional Races: All but one of Pennsylvania’s incumbent Congressmen won re-election, including
those who represent the Greater West Chester Area - JimGerlach (R), and Pat Meehan(R). In other races within Pennsylvania, for the 12th CD (Western PA), Keith Rothfus (R)defeated one term incumbent Mark Critz (D) in Pennsylvania’s most hotly-contested Congressional race which was full of television ads attacking both candidates. State Representative Scott Perry (R) easily won the 19th Congressional District (Central) to replace retiring Todd Platts and Matt Cartwright (D) is the new Congressman in the 17th CD (Northeast) replacing Tim Holden.
o State Legislature: Several new legislators have been elected, but the Republicans maintain their majorities in both chambers of the General Assembly. However, Democratic candidates won all three Senate open seats decreasing the Republican majority to 27-23. The matchup in SD-15 against John McNally (R) andRob Teplitz (D)saw the democrat winning the election. . State Rep. Matt Smith (D) won in SD-37, against D. Raja (R). This race for the vacant seat of recently retired Sen. John Pippy (Formerly R-Allegheny) was one of the most closely contested in the state, but Smith had pulled ahead close to Election Day. In SD-49 Sean Wiley (D) easily defeated Janet Anderson (R) to replace outgoing Sen. Jane Earll (R-Erie). The Greater West Chester only had two State Senators up for re-election, Dominic Pileggi (R) and Andy Dinniman (D) who both easily won re-election.
For the House no incumbent Democrats were defeated and several GOP incumbents survived by the narrowest of margins giving the Republicans 111 to 92 seat majority. For West Chester, HD-156 Dan Truitt (R)bested Bret Binder (D) in a traditional close district that has flipped from Democrat to Republican in several recent elections. For HD-157 Warren Kampf (R)defeated Paul Drucker (D), in a 2010 rematch. The district also has a history of tight races, as Drucker himself only narrowly won the seat in 2008. In HD-161 Joe Hackett (R) survived his race against challenger Larry DeMarco (D). Representative Joe Hackett narrowly won in 2010 replacing Bryan Lentz (D) who ran for Congress. In one of the closest races, Nicolas Micozzie (R)won by a narrow margin against. Seamus Bonner (D) in HD 163:Thirty-four year veteran Micozzie (R-Delaware) ran on his record and his leadership experience in the House. Micozzie represents a moderate district and has beaten back many serious challenges over the years. Two other House Republican freshmen survived close challenges, Rep Justin Simmons (R) and Rep Rick Saccone (R).
The GWCC Government and Legislative Committee meets on a monthly basis to discuss what is
happening in the local area and the country that affect your business. This month’s meeting they
thought that we always hear the results of the Presidential Election, but we sometimes forget
about our area and we would like to recap the local and national political results.
