UPDATE – We solved it
MoreThanTheCurve.com didn’t hear a rumor about Upper Merion Township’s board of supervisors committing to “place” 5,000 Haitian immigrants in the township, nor can we find it online, but it seems that it was so rampant that the board of supervisors felt the need to release a statement denying it.
From the Upper Merion Township statement:
The Upper Merion Township Board of Supervisors is aware that rumors are circulating about a commitment made by the Township to place 5000 Haitian immigrants in our community. We would like to clarify that this information is unfounded. No such request has been made to the Township, nor has any entity sought to relocate any group of individuals to our community. We are working on identifying the source of this misinformation, and anticipate releasing a more formal statement at a later time.
We would be curious to see how the rumor was originally written or where it started. If you know, email us at kevin@burbmedia.com.
