Sometimes people will say to me “I’ll text you.” Then I explain that I don’t have a smart phone, and they find this hard to comprehend. Doesn’t everybody have one?
When Katrina hit New Orleans the evacuation order detailed the routes for cars to leave the city. What the authorities didn’t realize was that thousands of residents of New Orleans did not own cars.
Lansford Borough Council has decided that the Borough will not accept cash for payments for sewage transmission fees and other charges. You can pay be credit cards or by check. Unfortunately, many residents of Lansford have neither bank accounts nor credit cards. Believe me, they don’t.
When asked how they could pay, a Councilwoman said, “They can get a money order.” Really? Then they have to go the the Post Office. And money orders also have a fee. This is typical of authorities who can’t imagine how some people live. They assume that since they have a checking account or a credit card, doesn’t everyone? No, some of us don’t. This discriminatory rule should be rescinded.
