Editor’s note: As with letters to the editor, The Beacon’s policy on political ads is to require accountability. Anonymous letters and political ads without attribution are not accepted. The Beacon makes it standard practice to include a “Paid For By “¦” disclaimer within political ads so as to distinguish paid, outside content or viewpoints from staff-generated content. This is also done to avoid any perception that The Beacon might be taking a stand on issues or candidates. Such content is best left to the commentary/opinion page, right here. The Beacon neither endorsed nor opposed any candidate or group of candidates in this latest PCPB election. In this instance, the disclaimer was inadvertently left out during the ad production process. It should have read: “Paid For By Joe Varley ” The omission was unintended.
