It seems any information wanted from our borough requires a Right To Know Law request.
Public information, such as the 2014 West Easton Audit should not require an RTKL, but that’s what one resident was told he’d have to do at the last council meeting. The 2014 audit shows how much money West Easton had spent and accumulated last year. It also shows how much money was carried over to begin 2015. Keep in mind that not included in these numbers is money West Easton will generate from fees and taxes during 2015.
Well, don’t wait 5 days to be told a solicitors review of another 30 days is allowed.
You also don’t have to pay 25 cents per page for the copies, either.

Isn’t everything so much easier when government is open and transparent? West Easton could take a lesson from Harrisburg.
