The Blair County Tea Party Steering Committee is considering transforming the organization into a legal entity due to its rapid momentum and rising popularity in Blair County.

 

The group held its general membership meeting last night, with substantial turnout of Blair County voters and interested visitors.

 

“As we gain attention, we need to look into taking legal and civil safeguards,” said speaker Joe Mercer at the event.

 

Mercer explained that the group consistently has exceeded its goals in terms of turnout since it began, stating that he quickly learned there were more people around that think like he does than he originally realized.

 

Another speaker, Jim Rokosky, discussed the group’s legal options to form as a 501(c) 4, 527, or an Unincorporated Association.

 

The Blair County Tea Party has held several events since its beginning and continues to plan for future events.
