				Other Laws That We Need
				besides fracking bans or moratoriums            
				Laws that require renewable resources to be bought  before 
				the purchase of non-renewable  resources 
           Laws that require that all energy  companies  ( coal, 
				oil, gas etc ) pay the full cost of the  use of the 
				resource, 
                     
				including all clean up costs  and not extract their profit 
				at the expense of others  
           Laws that prevent one person ( or any corporation) from 
				diminishing the property, or rights  or health of another  
                      
				without his permission and without  compensation beyond 
				just "material" value 
           Legal reform in total so that the law and true justice is 
				accessible to all  - not so complicated that people have
				 
                      
				to put themselves in the hands of others that hold the control .

Abington Township revamped the entire Township website at the end of 2015
and broke all the links to the information. In 2017, under Richard 
Manfredi,  
someone inexperienced was assigned to redo the entire website again.
The public was not asked what problems they would like to see fixed. Their new plan was 
not well thought out, so everything was very hard to find and there were giant 
paragraphs you had to slog through in order to find the pertinent one or two 
lines that you needed. Or if you were lucky enough to even find the meetings and 
agenda page, there was (and still is) a whole page 
of nonsense on top, so you think you're on the wrong page. Zoom limks are 
burrid in a giant paragraph, so people can't find them to attend the meeting. 
They know about these  problems - but have just decided to ignore us.... 
for the whole of Richard Manfredi's time here (with Tom Hecker's consent).  
  Now, in 2025, we are due to get a new Manager, 
and there are funds put aside to, once again, upgrade the Township website. We can only hope for a 
fresh chance at fixing some of these things, as our Township website is the best tool we 
have for communication and should be an easy, user friendly site for all. 
  
We need volunteers willing to work together to help improve the Township site 
that everyone has to use,  to make it functional and accessible.  
  We will be repairing our broken links in this Abington Citizens site, 
too, and fixing some of our many, many 
typo's as much as is possible. (Yes, it's quite evident that, unlike the 
Township, WE don't have a paid staff of 275+ or a $93 million budget).
   
 So...please let us know if you find broken links 
or typos. Send us the URL  
and/or 
and the name of the page it is on, so we can correct it. 
Thanks for the help.
