As we approach the May 19 primary election, the East Penn Press and Salisbury Press, in the interest of fairness, will halt the 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 was the April 15 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, need to be received by The Press no later than 5 p.m. May 1.

Rebuttal letters will need to be received no later than 5 p.m. May 10.
