Borough Council decides not to spend

Somehow, State College Borough came down on the side of not spending money twice last night.

Is this a record?

First, council decided not to pay itself. Good move. Submit expenses just like everyone else.

The big decision came when council turned thumbs down to Peter Morris' idea to spend $8,000 on firearms signs for parks and buildings.

Just what we need, signs to say someone might be armed. Amazing, and to its credit council looked away.

They should earn a bravo from taxpayers.
