These articles and editorials published in the Lancaster Newspapers make it appear to be more and more likely that LNP truly does not know what their “partner” in the Penn Square Partners has really been up to. Is it possible that Lancaster Newspapers has been manipulated and taken advantage of nearly as much as the public?
EDITOR: It is a moral certitude that the Steinman Foundation would not have wished to profit at the expense of the community.
Rather, it has always been the gist of NewsLanc’s reflections that that the then CEO involved LNP with the best of intentions, improperly relied on others to handle the project, and , when properly informed, lacked the will power to redress the situation.
Meanwhile the Steinman family leaders were of an advanced age where they could not appreciate what was taking place.
The editor may wish to give LNP a free ride but I do not. I am in total agreement that Dale High, has, and is driving the bus through his surrogates Cooley, Fitzgerald and Smithgall.
That said, LNP is happy to be a passenger be it riding shotgun or sitting in the back seat and will take their free “private” hotel and profit with a smile…they need something to offset the loss of their old cash cow (classified ads).
If they felt they way the editor suggests, they could have pulled the cord and got off at the next stop. Instead they just keep riding along.
The above response reflects my thoughts and opinon perfectly!!
There should be a groundswell of disgust towards PSP and what they forced upon Lancaster City and County taxpayers for generations. Our elected officals need to properly address this entire financial boondoggle by requiring PSP to make up any annual shortfall, and have the one-sided lease agreement rewitten to better give the Convention Center a fighting chance to at least break-even.
An outside investigation by the Harrisburg Patriot News might shed some truth on what really happened.
Truth is hard to come by at LNP.
