From the [Feb. 17 Sunday News] article: “Harper, who in the past has lodged lawsuits when he feels shut out of public meetings or is denied public records, has been a frequent presence at commissioners’ meetings. He’s also been a vocal critic of the proposed convention center and hotel on Penn Square.” Exactly what does […]

I stopped my LNP subscription nearly a year ago. Two weeks ago I received a mailing saying I was going to receive a complimentary trial subscription to the Intell, to encourage me to subscribe. (You know subscriptions are down when they give a zero-cost sample.) Then I got an automated phone call saying the complimentary […]

I canceled my newspaper subscription today. They asked why and I gave the following reasons: 1) I felt the newspaper was very biased with information especially regarding the convention center project and the previous board of county commissioners. As a result, I do not have confidence in the accuracy of information presented by the newspaper. […]

What kind of ignorant fools are editing that rag of a newspaper!?! (Just to be clear, I’m referring here to the Intelligencer Journal). Editor’s note: In defense of the Intell, their editorials are usually good and, except when its owner’s interests are involved, so is the rest of the newspaper. In the matter of the […]

Today, in driving on Harrisburg Pike, I noticed that parking meters have been placed in front of part of College Row. Why did the City put in meters when there is free parking for shoppers behind College Row? This strip of F&M property could and should have been made into a shoulder lane (that cars […]

F&M College, supported by the City’s Public Works department, a few weeks ago constructed a concrete median strip in the middle lane of 3-lane, 2-way Harrisburg Pike, between College Square and College Avenue. This median strip – which has several poles and signs protruding from it and will soon contain shrubbery — blocks cars and […]

Tonight [Jan. 28] at the meeting of the Drug & Alcohol Commission, I raised the issue that there were not enough detox beds in Lancaster. I had a young woman show up drunk at my church. I took her to Lancaster General, which is a block away from the church. She was refused at General […]

As a part of the bond sale agreements, the LCCCA is allowed no more than $58,500 a month for its own operations, including all legal fees. That’s not enough money to operate the LCCCA, pay its staff and expenses, and do everything else it is expected to do. Right now they are making ends meet […]

Week after week I witnessed the abuse that Dick [Shellenberger] and Molly [Henderson] took at the Meetings. Me, I would have walked off the job and said whatever. It is not easy to find a person to be the third commissioner. The overall atmosphere was like night and day after Shaub left. In all respect, […]

I just read your homeless article. Good stuff.

May I suggest that Art Morris has been a VERY good soldier. He is trying to force the project to fit within the unreasonable constraints that were left to him by Ted Darcus, Dave Hixson, Nevin Cooley, and Dale High. Against all odds, he is making progress. Where Art Morris has proven to be a […]

I think the point is that it was clearly [Commissioner Pete] Shaub who was the problem, and it is likely that *whoever* was chosen to replace this lunatic would have had the effect of ‘pacifying’ the board. The bad behavior NEVER came from Dick or Molly. They always acted with grace and dignity. As for […]

At today’s Commissioner’s meeting, I gave the three new Commissioners their first month’s report card. ‘A’ for appointing Sharon Nelson to the board. She will ask the tough questions and is bi-partisan. She brought stability back to the Commissioner board after Pete Shaub went south. As for their handling of 150 N. Queen and appointing […]

I am reminded that we will have Ted “Sick & Tired” Darcus to obstruct the public’s right to know. Here Darcus responds to the public’s cry for Stevens & Sleaze legal bills: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DHp0g5Mfx4A I am sick & tired of Darcus already…
