Editor’s Note: As the Whitehall Ledger’s Editor and Owner, I strive to provide unbiased content in each week’s edition of the newspaper. Due to the issues brought up at the January school board meeting, I have chosen not to include in my portion of the meeting in the below report.

Seldom have the loudest voices online come to public meetings, called the Town...
