From the BCCT. Anyone have anything to say to George and family?
Bolos resigns from council
The council has 30 days from Saturday to fill the vacancy.
By DANNY ADLER
Councilman George Bolos is leaving Morrisville, along with his seat on the borough council.
His resignation is effective Saturday, and then the council has 30 days to fill the vacancy, officials said.
Bolos, a Third Ward Republican councilman who’s lived in the borough for about 15 years, is resigning because he’s moving to Virginia.
Bolos said he will miss the borough and hopes the borough can revitalize its downtown business district, calling economic development “the biggest issue” facing Morrisville.
“[Officials] need to do something in the way of economic development in the downtown area,” Bolos said in an interview before Monday’s council meeting.
Bolos also resigned from the Morrisville Municipal Authority Monday night. He has served on various council committees, is the former chairman of the Morrisville Economic Development Corporation and board member for the Morrisville Community Pool.
He first joined the council when he was appointed in January 2002 to fill a vacancy left by now-mayor Thomas Wisnosky. Bolos’ resignation leaves only two Republicans out of the remaining seven council members.
“I will miss the people of the borough. There’s a reason people stay for generations. It’s a unique town,” Bolos said.

George is the best of them, and the town is made much poorer for our loss of his balanced and reasonable approach. He truly cared about the well being of the WHOLE town, and it showed in his involvement and attempts at making improvements. Whether you agreed or disagreed with him on a topic, his was at least reasoned discourse, rather than the three monkey approach taken by the other members of council and the SB. Fare thee well Mr. Bolos. You'll be sorely missed.
Best of luck George, and thanks for all you've done for us.
I'll second everything the first 2 commenters said. Good luck to you and your family, George.
Good luck to you George and your family. You're a good egg and we'll miss you.
