Adams County board tightens personnel policy on non county work
The Adams County Salary Board by a 1 vote amended the personnel policy to limit non county business activities during county time. Commissioner Catherine Cowan pushed to bar partisan political work, while others argued jobs are county oriented and not political. The measure targets activities like addressing envelopes and phone lookups, with Cowan citing multiple reports of staff being asked to perform political tasks on county time.

The plan, based on the 1970 census and mid 1970s studies, outlines Gettysburg’s economy, land use, and demographic shifts. It notes a postwar population peak, rising female labor participation, a 7,275 resident count in 1970, and a shift from growth to aging and white collar employment as the borough’s character evolved.

Gradual impact expected from Maryland drinking age law
Emmitsburg bar owners and police say changes from the Maryland law raising the drinking age to 21 will be gradual, aided by a grandfather clause for those 18 before July 1. Police note many Pennsylvanians already patronize local bars, ensuring busy periods despite the new rules.
