COURTESY OF THE FLOOR
I complained about one of the industries on Tatamy Road putting out large amounts of dust and asked the supervisors if anyone was monitoring it because, at times, the dust is so thick the company runs a street sweeper to clean up the piles. Scott Sylvainus said that, as Tatamy is a PennDOT road, any complaints about street conditions should be reported to PennDOT; DEP is responsible for monitoring the air quality.
A West Highland resident asked about UNT running their public notices in The Home News as that publication does not list UNT in its coverage area. He wanted to know why ads couldn’t run in The Key. Gary Asteak explained that the state has requirements for legal ads and The Key doesn’t qualify but The Home News does.
