I just finished reading Mt. Lebanon school board member takes stance against guns. Bill Cooper, (yes, Buddy J., he is a registered Democrat) was the only school board director who voted against the new weapons policy, which prohibits weapons and guns on campus, with a few exceptions. If you get a chance to read the article, be sure to read the comments, as well.
Fawn Lebowitz, (related to Larry?) left a snarky comment about eliminating starter pistols, spray paint guns, and hot glue guns. Don't forget staple guns, Fawn.
I wonder how Bill Cooper feels about Timmy warning parents about keeping their kids on sidewalks while Tony DeNicola's crew is out there shooting high powered weapons to kill those ferocious deer.
Remember the Walk on Washington Road? That was widely supported by parents and students.
Where is the consistency?

2018-2019 Final Archery Report. Another sham
Another sham. The 2018-2019 Final Archery Report has been published. (Saved in Google Docs). Mt. Lebanon paid $8,000 to have 30 deer "harvested." That comes to $266.67 per deer killed by volunteers. And as one might expect, "SWMS recommends that the municipality continue to include archery hunting as part of the deer management program."
The good news is that sixteen deer were donated to feed people, at a cost of $4,266.72. That would buy quite a bit of meat from Shop 'N Save. The flip side is that volunteers -either hunters or property owners got to keep 14 "harvested" deer. Doesn't sound like there are any donors in this equation.

A Month of Goodbyes
You have all probably heard that Susan Fleming Morgans, the Public Information Officer, is retiring on March 8. Susan's legacy includes being transparent enough and dismissing almost 400 Not In My Yard Signs (See Latest Right To Know- shaking my head UPDATED 2x), Susan reminding Andrew McNitt that "The purpose of this meeting it [sic] NOT to discuss the potential harmful effects of artificial turf..." , when she attacked The Almanac's tweet and proceeded to call my blog a disreputable local blog filled with a litany of libelous slurs, (See More lies from "the disreputable local blog"), and let us not forget to market, to market, to buy a … the most offensive article Susan ever wrote. She later apologized. To read more about Susan Morgans's contributions as public information officer, search this blog. For all of her followers, Susan Morgans gave a plug for her website, www.susanflemingmorgans.com in her final column. You can read about her retiring cleaning lady. Of course.
I have not renewed the webhosting fee of $214.80 for my website, lebocitizens.com. I am done spending money on this community. I do want to thank those who sponsored me in the past. I will never forget.
I am so over Mt. Lebanon. There is life in Florida. There are no state income taxes, parking meters, or garages that charge to park. Recycling, including glass, is once a week. Garbage collection is TWICE a week. Yard waste is every Wednesday. Property taxes are VERY low. Gasoline is cheap. They don't worry about scary deer. They coexist with bears, alligators, and snakes. There are no overpaid, snobbish public information officers. Another thing that I am over is the Ward 4 Commissioner. He continues to be a menace on the roads. But you elected him! No goodbyes from that dude.

Got lead?
The Allegheny County Health Department has released a report concerning elevated blood lead levels in children.
Check out Page 9 of this report.
Page 1 shows blood lead levels by municipality and neighborhood.
It is kind of difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the darker blue areas by overlaying the maps. But considering the number of houses built before 1950, with most houses built before 1980 in Mt. Lebanon, it might be worth further investigation.
