AOL Patch Invades Emmaus

Did you know Upper Milford is facing its first tax hike in thirty years? That the Emmaus police department is down two officers?

You will if you read AOL Patch, an online journalism outlet that emphasizes community reporting. Emmaus Patch has hit the Internet news stands today. Check it out here. I will add a link on my sidebar.

Hellertown is next.

  3. Emmaus Patch is under new management apparently, with a interim editor as of Jan. 12.

    Was the founding editor kidnapped by aliens or what??

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
