The town of Forty Fort, near Wilkes-Barre, PA, intends to pass English-only law despite it having no power and there being no need, according to the
Times Leader:
"... the ordinance is powerless in insulating the borough from action dictated by higher governments. While he did not know of any Pennsylvania state or federal laws requiring municipal documents be printed in languages other than English, should such a law be made, Dyller said, Forty Fort would be bound to follow it, ordinance or not.
“It doesn’t insulate them from anything,” he said. “What it does is tell Hispanic people: stay out.”"
