Priorities, priorities!

By -
In the sleepy little borough of Columbia, Muriel Bagge and Courage doze, making nary a sound, save for Muriel's soft snoring, as the local news spews forth from the TV.  The borough's ills affect them not!


Until something earthshaking jolts Muriel fully awake: NUDE DANCING! The mere mention shocks her into the realization that the end of the world is near, very near!


And it takes Courage to summarize the situation . . .

It is funny or not really how people do not show up at meetings to object being taxed out of house and home yet nude dancing draws them like flies.

I think our elected officials have alot more things to worry about and spend there time on then if these girls have there thongs on. Just one example of wrong priorities in this forever getting worse town. Might not be the best business but at least it is a long time Columbia business. Had to laugh when mayor said this type of place isn't needed in his up and coming downtown. What a joke.

Up and coming downtown? More like down and leaving. I don't see many businesses staying in business very long around this town. I do see the businesses that are trying and the individuals that are busting their butts to make a difference not being supported or down right being black balled out of town. I'd like to see the mayor put some of his own personal funds into building the downtown area like the folks have done on their own and now have nothing to show for it.

don't use excuses for not attending mtgs....do u think it doesn't bother others that they don't get the truth?? then you need to say that..eventually, maybe they'll get it.
i agree about downtown, said before, will say again they should have some incentives to new business coming into the downtown and trying to keep them....parking is a HUGE issue....
it's such a shame that this small boro has like hundreds more rental properties than it should. majority don't have their own parking either.

Columbia's decision to ban former employee from its property may be 'unconstitutional' [Lancaster Watchdog]

By Columbia Spy -

Chris Vera [Columbia Spy file photo] The following information is excerpted from a December 6, 2025 LNP Watchdog article by LNP | LancasterOnline reporter Jade Campos. Still reeling from an abrupt firing from his role as head of the Columbia Market House in March, Chris Vera was surprised to get a letter in the mail from a Columbia Borough attorney two weeks later telling him he was banned indefinitely from borough property. The letter gave no reason for the ban. Nine months later, Vera, who has served as president of the Columbia Historic Preservation Society for more than a decade and has helped with the borough’s comprehensive plan, is still banned from borough property. He believes the ban includes borough parks, which is part of the reason he moved his annual Albatwitch Day festival, which celebrates the myth of a local cryptid, to Wrightsville. Vera said he’s not sure why the borough went to such lengths to keep him away from public spaces given his termination from the borough s...

NATHAN WILLISON | LNP Staff Writer An East Donegal Township man is facing criminal charges after police say he struck a 13-year-old with his truck and fled the scene last month.  Derek Scott Mohr, 28, is charged with causing an accident involving death or injury without a license, failing to stop to render aid, driving at an unsafe speed and related charges.  Mohr had been driving a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado through Chestnut Street in Columbia around 8 p.m. March 20 when he struck a 13-year-old boy riding a motorized scooter and continued driving, according to charging documents filed by police.  When police arrived, they found the boy with a broken leg and a cut to his forehead. His scooter was lying nearby, its handlebars completely snapped off.  Another teenager who witnessed what happened described the truck to police and said that the driver made no attempt to stop after striking the boy. Surveillance footage collected from the area shows the truck striking the b...

Mayor Lutz must accept responsibility

By Columbia Spy -

  GUEST COMMENTARY [Name withheld by request out of fear of retaliation] For two decades, Leo Lutz has occupied the mayor's office in Columbia, and his supporters are quick to credit him with every positive development in our borough, but leadership is a two-way street. If Mayor Lutz is going to accept praise for Columbia's successes, many of which, frankly, he had little direct involvement in, then he must also be held accountable for our failures. The facts paint a troubling picture. Despite the mayor's repeated assurances that our streets are safe, we've witnessed a disturbing rise in assaults, shootings, and vandalism. His promises have fallen by the wayside: the foot patrol we were promised never materialized, nor did the bike patrol that was supposed to increase our sense of security. Fiscally, the situation is equally dire. Taxes have increased at least twice during Mayor Lutz's tenure, yet the borough now finds itself millions of dollars in debt. This isn...
