Dear Mt. Lebanon School District Parents/Guardians,  

In our ongoing effort to keep you apprised of local issues, I am attaching two pieces of information that I recently received from the Mt. Lebanon Municipality. The information is in regards to a municipal deer management program that the Pennsylvania Game Commission licensed between February 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016. This same information is also being shared with all of our principals, teachers, and support staff. Extensive information is found on the municipal website athttp://www.mtlebanon.org/index.aspx?nid=2114 . Please note the activity is scheduled to occur at identified public parks on weekdays (6:00 – 11:00 p.m.)  and on private property 7 days a week (4:00 – 11:00 p.m.). Do not hesitate to contact the Mt. Lebanon Municipality or Mt. Lebanon Police Department should you have any questions.

I am getting blind copies of letters that Timmy is receiving. If you would like me to share your letter here, I will redact personal information and post.

This is what I just sent to him, and copied commission, school board, manager, and police chief.

Tim,
Thank you for sending out the following announcement.

"The information is in regards to a municipal deer management program"
"Please note the activity is scheduled to occur..." 
"Program" and "activity" are all safe words. Why are you avoiding words such as "killing" or "shooting" to describe the municipal deer killing that will start on February 1? Even "management" is just sugar coated for killing.

Why aren't you taking some responsibility for this? Shouldn't you be able to provide answers to concerned parents? Instead, you are passing it on to the municipality and Mt. Lebanon police. Mt. Lebanon police are being asked to protect bait, keep smokers out of parks, and follow up on 911 calls for gun shots and drug deals.

I do want to commend you for actually mentioning the hours that the killing will occur. Our municipality is of the belief that if a person is truly interested, he or she will dig for answers.

Incidentally, the commission has learned from the school district that concerned residents do not deserve a response. Bravo, elected officials. Bravo.

Elaine Gillen

Update January 28, 2016 9:05 AM After a Lebo Citizen parent notified the municipality of Timmy's latest blunder, this email was issued with no explanation. His blunder? Timmy sent the wrong FAQs.

Wording of letter -

Anyone with a safety concern should call 911 immediately.
should be changed to:
Anyone who wants to be arrested or cited should call 911 immediately.

1:14---Indeed. We know that the cops are ONLY interested in the hired guns' safety. We learned that from the Amy Castor incident.
