CLARKS GREEN — During May’s Council meeting, Council woman Olga Trushina pitched the idea of a space on Facebook to post a social media policy.
She suggested to keep it general and have specific rules for the employees in charge of posting information on it. Solicitor Al Weinschenk agreed to set up a template for a social media policy. When asked if it was in lieu of an updated website, Trushina replied that it’s an addition to a website.
“People use Facebook to get information about local politics and other things that’s happening in their community,” she said. “It’s a very good avenue to get people to understand what’s happening.”
Trushina also said that people can limit comments to avoid controversy.
