Pennsylvania: borough councilman may not vote by phone from Afghanistan
AP reports: A borough councilman serving in Afghanistan was denied a request to participate in meetings by phone, drawing protests from veterans.
Tullytown Councilman Joseph Shellenberger, a master sergeant in the Air Force, was sent to Afghanistan in January and is expected to return home in about two months.
