Chambersburg council reprimands member for violating new non-discrimination policy

Chambersburg council reprimands member for violating new non-discrimination policy Carley Bonk, Chambersburg Public Opinion Just over two months since it was passed, Chambersburg Borough Council reprimanded one of its members for violating the borough s non-discrimination policy.  Council voted 6-4 Monday to reprimand Allen Coffman, First Ward councilperson, over his response to a constituent who had written to him about why she hoped council would pass the then-proposed policy prohibiting discrimination and harassment.  The complaint was reviewed and discussed in two private executive sessions by his peers, rather than staff, as Coffman is a member of the governing body, according to a press release from the borough. Both Day and Coffman submitted additional written information, as requested by council.
