Judge Hears Citizens' Concerns About Electric Scooters

As the mayor of Mt. Carmel, Joe Judge receives dozens of emails, text messages, and phone calls on a variety of topics and issues concerning local residents. On Friday’s “Ask The Mayor” segment heard on WSJD, Judge said there’s been one hot topic the last few weeks generating about 90% of the concern….

Judge also said he has received reports of the scooters being ridden down the local state highways which would result in tickets if the riders are caught by State Police. Recently, one rider suffered a broken wrist when he crashed his scooter. Judge said his fear is that won’t be the last injury if parents don’t step up and educate their children about the dangers of the scooters and associated traffic laws.
