Councillor urges involvement in government

A Mount Joy Borough councillor urges citizen involvement in government, in an LNP Letter to the Editor:

"The lesson of the Manheim Township school board, and the true value of the Sunshine Act, is in citizens becoming involved in their government. So read the online agendas and minutes, attend those public meetings, and become more engaged in your public councils and boards. If you don't, then all the government transparency in the world will mean nothing."
