Shepherdstown Residents Voice Concerns Over New Conduct Law
In a recent opinion piece published in The Shepherdstown Chronicle, Mark Kohut criticizes the Shepherdstown Town Council's approval of a disorderly conduct ordinance, deeming it unjust. He highlights the concern that individuals unfairly fined under this ordinance may not have access to legal defense, particularly affecting the vulnerable. Kohut recounts stories of ticketing practices in nearby Martinsburg that emphasize potential abuses of the law and calls upon the council members to oppose such measures. The piece reflects a growing discourse on the balance between law enforcement and individual rights in the region.
