The Internet: it’s at everyone’s fingertips! | So it’s inexcusable for responsible adults to engage in social media speculation about whether the construction in West Hempfield Township is affordable housing or what. Use one of the search engines on the information super-highway and get answers from reliable (or unreliable sources) rather than the “what-isms” from folks on social media. It just makes sense, folks.

Sure, there’s google, but there are other players in the Internet search field; we prefer DuckDuckGo, but here’s a helpful article: “The Best Search Engines of 2020- Google might be the biggest but there are other, arguably better, search engines.”

Saying it is one thing | and it is one step, But it’s a “fox guarding the henhouse” situation when the Police Chief reports that “no changes will be needed in the department’s policy” and  “Council members did not discuss Manheim’s use-of-force policy or comment on it.” Citizens have to be able to see the policies that apply to “use of force” in their public safety departments. – Lancaster Online
