'Save Ardmore' Issues Voters Guide For Upcoming Election

The Save Ardmore movement, the same group behind the fight against Dranoff Property’s quest to bring luxury apartments to a parking lot, has compiled a list of questions and answers with several candidates for political office in Lower Merion and Montgomery County.

They published the findings on their website as part of their 2015 Voters Guide:

Recently, we sent out a questionnaire to candidates for Lower Merion Township Commissioners and Montgomery County Commissioners. We asked questions about affordable housing, use of taxpayer money for private development, and forced densification of neighborhoods. The responses can be found below:

Ward 1 (Daniel Bernheim)

Ward 2 (Joshua Grimes and Parviz Hanjani)

Ward 3 (Paul McElhaney and Michael Spatacco)

Ward 5 (Cheryl Gelber)

Ward 7 (Andrew Karasik and Elizabeth Rogan)

Ward 9 (George Manos)

Ward 11 (Bill Madway and Tiffany O’Neill)

Ward 13 (Brian McGuire)

Montgomery County Commissioners (Valerie Arkoosh, Joe Gale, Josh Shapiro, and Steve Tolbert)

Several candidates did not respond to the questions, or were unable to, Save Ardmore said. Those individuals included:

• Daniel Bernheim
• Joshua Grimes
• Paul McElhaney
• Cheryl Gelber
• Elizabeth Rogan
• George Manos
