While only a few weeks into his new position as Charleroi’s borough manager, Matt Staniszewski has several ideas and suggestions he believes could help the borough operate more efficiently.  First on his list is a proposal to change the frequency officials and others members of the public are able to ask for official information through the state’s Right to Know Law. The Pennsylvania Right to Know Law provides citizens the right of access to public records, and sets forth the conditions under which a document maintained by a commonwealth agency is deemed a public record.  During an agenda meeting Wednesday, Staniszewski brought up a suggestion for a new policy that would address excessive or redundant Right to Know requests.
