Happened across this facebook post:

“Does anyone know who Iris Rachael Garrido is? She is running for a 2 year school board term against Fran Resch (awesome guy:) it’s a shame that you have to search so hard to find information if you want to make an intelligent decision voting.”

By clicking here at the Lancaster County Board of Elections Website, you can see who is running for Columbia’s offices.

You’ll notice there are the incumbents running and some new names and googling the names provides little information.

• New candidates for school board of directors are Iris Rachel Garrido and Francis Resch.

• New candidates for borough councillor are Cleon G. Berntheisel and Robert F. Granzow III.

But the facebook comment is stunningly accurate: It is a shame anyone has to search so hard to find information.
