PLEASE NOTE: On Blog-Lebo, we do not publish anonymous comments. You must put your name to your words. Include your full name in the text of your comment (usually at the end), and you’ll be fine. Or post from a Blogger account having a public profile that includes your full name. Either way will work. But if you don’t include your name, or if we have reason to believe the name on your comment isn’t authentic, we will not be able to publish your comment.
Why must I use my full name?
When you post a comment on Blog-Lebo, you are making a public statement. Therefore, we require that you accept responsibility for your words. Just like at a public meeting of the school board or municipal government, when you stand to speak on Blog-Lebo, you must state your full name. That way, everyone will know who is speaking, and you will know that you’re responsible for what you say.
Doesn't anyone else find it just a little scary that after the Mt. Lebanon police chief, fire chief and traffic engineer all state that the cross walk is dangerous and needs to be removed, the Commission still needs to think about it some more? If there was ever a place where a clear decision seemed to be right in front of our leaders, this would be the place, but yet, no decision, or better yet, the decision to leave a dangerous situation be and add $100,000 to the situation. Scary, indeed!
