Repeal Ordinance 125 – For a Safe, Fair, and Free Strasburg

Strasburg Township residents are calling for the immediate repeal and replacement of Ordinance 125 — not because we oppose safety, but because we want a better ordinance that truly protects both public safety and residents’ rights.

Ordinance 125 is vague, overly broad, and grants the township sweeping authority that risks violating property rights, privacy, due process, and taxpayer interests. While we all agree that dangerous structures must not threaten neighbors, this ordinance goes far beyond that goal and opens the door to government overreach and costly legal battles.

We believe in limited government, fiscal responsibility, and strong protections for individual freedoms. Strasburg deserves a clear, fair, and balanced ordinance that keeps us safe without sacrificing the rights and values that make our community strong.

By signing this petition, you are standing with your neighbors to demand that the Strasburg Township Board of Supervisors repeal Ordinance 125 in full and work with residents on a new, balanced ordinance that protects both safety and freedom.

📢 Add your name today to protect Strasburg’s future. Together, we can ensure our township remains safe, fair, and free.

 

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

A: No. Repeal does not mean ignoring safety. It means replacing Ordinance 125 with a clear, fair, and balanced ordinance that protects both public safety and residents’ rights.
