Questions Keith Orris / F&M veracity

Keith Orris committed to the Lancaster MPO that funds have been committed by PennDOT. Upon our query to PennDOT, the following was stated by PennDOT: “There has been no determination by the Department as to the amount of such assistance. There is a commitment from the Department of Transportation to assist in moving this project […]

“Holding our tongue” blows smoke

1) Why should it be your concern whether or not “developments” get resolved “outside the public spot light?” 2) LNP has the bigger megaphone, certainly.  But they use it to promote their own interests and to protect the local elite. Who appointed you the conservator of “the general good?”  If you’ve got a story, run […]

Some print media will remain

I do not believe that newspapers will ever go completely electronic.  There are far too many situations where reading offline is the only cost-effective solution. For example, many people read their newspapers over a meal, while traveling, in a public place, or in the bathroom; an electronic device that can be read in these situations […]

“Cut to chase” about drug war

Let’s just cut to the chase: heroin should be legal. Mexico just legalized possession of small amounts of all drugs. Switzerland just legalized heroin. Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001 and their experience has been positive. Now if you are caught with a 10 day supply of your drug or less you face an administrative […]

Run the story…it might lead to resolution

Run the story…We all know how Lancaster Newspapers has repeatedly manipulated the news for their own political and financial benefit.  If NewsLanc.com breaks the story first, LNP might be forced to tell the truth. The other issue is, you mention awaiting some kind of resolution.  If NewsLanc.com would publish the story, it could provide the […]

RUN THE STORY!

“So we agonize.  And we  hope our silence is appropriate.” Your silence is absolutely  not appropriate.  NewsLanc.com  posted this tease “story” today, “Holding our tongue” where they state this: “NewsLanc has been sitting on  top of the biggest local news story so far this year but delays in  reporting it. “ It is your duty […]

LETTER: Is Linear Park only for the birds?

Your Penn Square photo reminded me of a stupid design at the entrances to Lancaster’s Linear Park. Check out the attached photos:  The gate blocks the entire entrance walkway, which forces you to walk/bike in the mulch/mud.  What an inviting entrance to a city park. It be interesting to see how a wheelchair bound person […]

No comparison

“To say that it gives KFC a run for its money would be a serious understatement.” The above statement is oddly out of place in this review. How in the world does a soul food restaurant end up being compared to a KFC at all?   Fast food fried chicken versus home cooked, lovingly prepared meals? […]

The $177.4 million is all public money

I have a request – please stop saying the convention center [project] cost taxpayers $140 million.  It’s $177.4 million in tax dollars. Taxpayers own the entire project and are on the hook for the entire amount.  The newspaper and High have not paid a red cent [towards the real estate.] To give them credit for […]

Bookings at CC disappointing?

At the Lancaster County Convention Center Authority Public Relations, Marketing, and Hospitality Committee meeting held on Thursday, May 21, 2009, it was noted that not one single trade show has been booked  beyond the current fiscal year.

New law sought

Advanced Media Group has proposed an “Organized Stalking and Directed Energy Weapons Harassment Bill.” The bill will provide protections to individuals who are being harassed, stalked, harmed by surveillance, and assaulted; as well as protections to keep individuals from becoming human research subjects, tortured, and killed by electronic frequency devices, directed energy devices, implants, and […]
