It’s not really that bad | Looking at the meeting agenda and supporting packet for the Tuesday Columbia Borough Meeting, don’t be alarmed by the 74-page file. A bunch of the pages are replicated and duplicated.

Yes, there was a plan | Could this nation have been prepared for this pandemic? Should this nation have been prepared for this pandemic? The answer is a resounding YES.
