A man was hit and killed on manor st. Nothing said about this in the papers,news, POLICE DEPARTMENT! I wonder why????
Probably because that man did not die! He was injured badly but is still living.
One can no longer get proper local coverage from the Lancaster newspaper. While I am thankful to the bloggers for their coverage, they cannot provide certain items that only the actual paper can provide. Many things have happened in the borough and we never read a word about it in the news. If there is some article in the news, there is rarely any follow-up. Lancaster news has a monopoly. The public is dependent upon them for information and they are failing us.
Either way, I don't recall reading about it. I've seen arrests, shakedowns, and takedowns in action, but quite often there are no subsequent mentions of anything in the press.
True! What's the big secret, why shouldn't we know, we pay their salaries.
We need to know what they are doing to earn it.
If the borough authorities shared information with the Columbia PA 17512 and Columbia news, views & reviews websites ... and/or a transparent facebook page or an up-to-date borough Website, the mistrust and confusion would be alleviated somewhat. Instead of looking at "bloggers" as adversaries, use the available media as cohorts in informing citizens.
I agree. We all have a right to know.
Um, I believe the person in question as referenced above by the initial "Anonymous" post did indeed die. He was struck on Manor Street, and his obituary was in the newspaper yesterday.
I echo Mr. Long, for the need for transparency and better information from local officials.
I smell a cover up here!! Someone gets run over and nothing said about this!!
Someone needs to find out what is going on here. A man killed and nothing is said about this! Tax payers money for what!!!!!!
Things are missing from the police log on a regular basis. I'm trying to understand why.
That is strange.
If the papers reported every arrest, shakedown and takedown, the paper would weigh 30 lbs every day. That's a lot of newsprint for information that nobody really cares about, all in a for-profit newspaper. And if you do want that info, it is public information. Just have to do the legwork and get it yourself.
A lot of crying over a non-issue.

You're right - we don't need to have every event listed, but some important things are getting missed.
