Officials express feelings on MABL situation
Mar 5, 2021
REEDSVILLE – Brown Township became the latest municipality to express their feelings on the situation involving the Municipal Authority of the Borough of Lewistown and Lewistown Borough Council.
Brown Township, like many other municipalities, is urging Lewistown Borough Council to restart talks to create a county-wide municipal authority instead of retaining control over the current makeup of the board of MABL.
The letter’s full text appears below in italics.
To: Members of the Lewistown Borough Council
Re: Municipal Authority Change
Over a year has passed since we sent our first letter to you outlining our concerns about the changes you had made without the input of the municipalities. We weren’t consulted, advised, instructed or even respected enough to receive the courtesy of a response. We are hopeful for a better outcome this time.
