This Is Your Future, Patrick Murphy

Now that Patrick Murphy is the Congressman-elect in the 8th District, he’s busy getting ready to face all the local issues in notoriously finicky Buxco. (I guess it’s notoriously finicky. If it wasn’t before, it is now.)

One of those issues is a veterans cemetary in Upper Makefield, which the Bucks County Courier Times reported cost Fitzpatrick some votes in the township. the story is way too complex and annoying for me to follow, but I do agree that Murphy will have to face this issue head on. But he should hold it near and dear to his heart, the Courier reports:

On Thursday, Murphy said he’s “looking forward to moving the ball even further [on the cemetery issue]” once he takes office in January. The matter is, after all, close to the Iraq war veteran’s heart, since he and his wife Jenni, could be buried in the cemetery.

Just think about it, Pat! Your dead body could decompose and rot in the ground right in Upper Makefield! Enjoy this issue during the first few months of your time in office!
