The Mt. Lebanon Public Library - a treasure among our Municipal related services.
Kudos to Cynthia Ritchey and her team!!!!
Interesting timing. As our wonderful public library gets yet another award the commission announced that it has appointed ex-commissioner David Humphreys, an outspoken opponent of the library, to the Board of Trustees. Still trying to make sense of this, with so many other qualified candidates available.
Yes, kudos to Cynthia Ritchey and the fantastic work of the entire Library staff. We are proud of you and we love our library!
Joe, I agree with you. What I find particularly frustrating is that not one commissioner has the courage to publicly explain their vote for Mr. Humphreys.
In the face of the overwhelming bi-partisan sentiment shared at the most recent commission open forum, their lack of explanation is embarassing. So much for responsiveness...

Perhaps this is part of the reason that the commission has not made further progress on televising their meetings - it's much easier to keep from explaining their vote when they know that most people don't see them or even know what they are discussing.
"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding."
— Justice Louis D. Brandeis dissenting, Olmstead v. United States
"It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong"
