Showing Off Lebo Isn't Cheap

When it comes to public relations, Mt. Lebanon officials go all the way.

The affluent suburb -- where the median family income neared $80,000 in the last census -- allocated about $838,000 this year to spread good news about itself. It employs two full-timers in its public information office: Susan Fleming Morgans, who is paid $82,229, and new addition Laura Pace, who makes $34,916.

"There's a welcoming atmosphere here," said Fleming Morgans. "We want residents to feel free to bring up questions about anything in the community."

I like getting the mtl each month to see what's happening in the community, but we could cull a lot of deer with that kind of scratch!

Make no mistake, the current Commission has made it clear "mtl is a house organ."

I still look forward to reading the Magazine. I also look forward to guidance from the new Commission for a greater sense of balance when "informing" on Municipal issues.
