We're all used to hearing about the budget woes of our financially strapped cities. Are they beginning to spread to our more affluent townships, too?In Lower Milford Township, the big question is whether to cut one full-time or two part-time police officers. A former police chief is concerned this could threaten security at the schools, but is told not to worry. It appears that even some townships have reached the point in which core services are being reduced.
You won't read about this in The Morning Call, which unfortunately lacks the resources to tell people what is going on within their own governments. You will be able to read about this and other Lower Milford stories at Upper Saucon Patch, the sixth and latest hyper-local news site to invade the Lehigh Valley. It hit Internet news stands yesterday, and focuses on Upper Saucon, Lower Milford and Coopersburg.

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.
