As we approach the Nov. 4 municipal election, the East Penn Press and the Salisbury Press, in the interest of fairness, has halted the publication of columns by local government officials and letters to the editor submitted by those running for office.

The last week for publication of columns by local government officials was Oct. 1.

We will, of course, continue to cover the local races, in news stories generated by our reporters.

Letters to the Editor, written by members of the community in support of a candidate, need to be received at The Press office no later than 5 p.m. Oct. 17.
