  • Rick Figaski Newest Millcreek Supervisor 
    Reported by: Jeremy Beecher

    Wednesday, Nov 4, 2009 @05:07pm EST

    While the county race remains uncertain -- in Millcreek the results are very clear. The incumbent is headed out -- and a newcomer is vowing to shake things up.

    The plan is to get the winner, Rick Figaski, up to speed quickly. But after this emotional race, some wonder if they'll all be able to get along.

    Larry Curtis is out - and Rick Figaski is in, vowing to shake up Millcreek Township from public safety to public works.

    "I believe this is a referendum by the voters. They want what I was offering. And I believe all the supervisors have to realize that," says Figaski.

    He plans to meet with Curtis next week to get up to speed. He’ll also meet with his new colleagues to work on the township's budget, but mostly he plans to get to work on his ambitious agenda.

    "I want to get up to speed on all that and find out what kind of timetable I can set to get these implemented," Figaski says.

    One of the biggest challenges could be getting them all just to work together. One of Figaski's main campaign promises after all, is abolishing the position of full-time supervisor.

    Millcreek Township Supervisor Joe Kujawa says, "Honestly we were getting along, things were going very well, and now who knows what's going to happen? Time will tell."

    But everyone says they're looking to serve the people.

    Millcreek Township Supervisor Brian McGrath says, "We're going to have to make it work. We’re here to serve the public; we can't let personalities get in the way.”

    Still, all three say they're here to serve the voters, not themselves. Despite the tough campaign, Figaski says he's not looking for a fight, as long as his two colleagues realize he's got a mandate.

    "I don't want a contentious situation here. But by the same token, I’ve told the people what I want to do. I made promises. And I keep my promises," he says.
