Social Media and Blog Comment Policy for Readers

As an extension of Mt. Lebanon’s official municipal website (www.mtlebanon.org), some official social media outlets utilized by the public information office may allow for public comment and posting. We do so with the goal of fostering open and transparent communication between municipal officials and residents, as well as promoting and strengthening the positive character of our community. The same shall be true of any blog on our magazine website, www.lebomag.com. We sincerely hope those who participate will do so in a constructive, polite manner, with respect for any opposing views of other people.

The Mt. Lebanon Municipality manages this page as a limited public forum and therefore the following conditions apply:
