In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.

But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.

We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?

The public comment period, initiated on April 27, 2026, allows for any interested individuals or groups to voice their opinions and suggestions. Written comments can be submitted directly to Rebekah Reigner, the District Court Administrator for the 39th Judicial District. The administrative office is located at 14 North Main Street, Chambersburg, PA 17201. Alternatively, comments can be sent electronically to rmreigner@franklincountypa.gov. The deadline for all public submissions is May 27, providing ample time for community members to engage with the proposed changes. The reestablishment plan, once finalized after the public comment period, will undergo review by the AOPC. The outcome of this process could affect how legal services are accessed and administered at the magisterial district level within Franklin County.
