To Jeff Hawkes of the Intelligencer Journal for his column “Single-payer plan deserves second look.” It is good to see Hawkes regaining his voice.
WATCHDOG: Hawkes’s column is an example of the recovery taking place at the Intell now that there are fewer occasions to have to cover up its parent company’s disreputable dealings, although we probably will have to wait till the next Ice Age before it will criticize the rapacious Penn Square Partners’ dealings with the Convention Center Authority or the bird brain Trolley Car scheme.
What ails Lancaster is leadership by the ignorant and / or self serving and greedy Power Elite of the silent and disinterested. It is the monopoly ownership of the newspapers that allows this to happen.
