Mayor urges civility, warns against Facebook misinformation
Summary
Mayor Tom Shypulefski used the reorganization meeting to push for respectful conduct by council members and residents, explicitly criticizing false statements on an unsanctioned Facebook page and urging residents to attend meetings for accurate information.
In his opening remarks, Mayor Tom Shypulefski called on council members to be respectful and warned that misinformation circulated on social media was harming the borough's reputation. "The false Facebook statements and accusations need to stop as misinformation is detrimental to our Borough and harmful for our positive outlook," he said, urging residents to attend meetings to "learn the true facts about the proceedings."
Shypulefski said the borough has had positive forward progress and that officials should focus on issues rather than what he characterized as a "side show." He asked elected officials to remember their responsibilities "7 days a week / 24 Hours a day," including social media postings, and asked colleagues to take the message to heart as the council approaches future work.
