Wednesday’s news items [School District Board of Directors meeting agenda; money in high school sports; police logs; FutureWars & more] – 9/4/2019

Last night’s Council “work session” meeting | Watch it here at the Borough facebook page. Slimmer than normal attendance in person and online viewers. Must be holiday hangover.

It’s expensive | … when municipalities have to pay attorneys to fight messes that should not have to be fought. An article in today’s LNP – Always Lancaster says that the county has paid $97,000 for the legal struggle with the District Attorney because he doesn’t like to be transparent.

Interesting Police Logs | “A man on a lawn mower gets pulled over — Every day, police officers respond to reports of all sorts of events and nonevents, most of which never make the news.

Future Wars | Robotic and non-human (except for the casualties) weaponry. Seriously, because we cannot get these old white guys in Wonderland to pick up rucks and weapons, they’re now approving mechanical killing. Probably, too, because we cannot keep attracting enough young men and women to man the mercenary mentality that this nation’s adopted.
