A message to candidates, readers

As we approach the May 16 Primary Election, the East Penn Press and the Salisbury Press, in the interest of fairness, has halted 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 running for office was the April 12 edition.

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

Letters to the Editor, written by members of the community in support of a candidate or by the candidate, needed to be received by The Press no later than 5 p.m. April 28.

Any rebuttals to letters needed to be received by 5 p.m. May 5.
