At least we didn't have to hire extra police

The townwide revaluation in Barrington has been contentious at times, but at least it hasn't gotten violent. According to Associated Press article posted on May 18, the Bedford (Pa.) County Commissioners requested armed sheriff's deputies stand guard while residents wait for their hearings on property reassessments. The extra security was brought in after some people — not the property owners themselves — allegedly tried to interrupt hearings a week earlier. The article states that only the property owners may attend the hearings unless the people are invited by the property owners.
