And Cassidy goes on and on about the PA State Police and ignores the racist hiring by the Lancaster Police for years and the numerous lawsuits for excessive force and civil rights violations against the department. And LNP doesn’t say a word about all of the unsolved murders in the city.
“expansion.” And Mayor Danene Sorace was their biggest backer and that is why they treat her and her administration with kid gloves. Tell SpotlightPA that LNP breaks every code of journalism ethics in this country. Tell them that LNP has missed opportunity after opportunity to hold the Lancaster Police accountable.

The above excellent comment came into this site yesterday. The answer: Hopkins (pictured left) always supported the convention center/hotel and was instrumental in giving LNP millions of dollars in public money for their for-profit, off the tax-rolls Marriott Hotel and later for their Marriott Hotel “expansion.” That bought him being untouchable. The same applies to Mayor Sorace. LNP breaks every code of journalism ethics in this country every day.****
* The LNP article is now online and the headline is to the left (click here). “Breakup” and “part ways.” What a bunch of absolute nonsense and disgusting journalism. MAW took Lancaster to the bank!
This story is not yet online. Put it online, LNP! The world is digital today except Lancaster doesn’t have that promised high-speed, low-cost internet because MAW Communications took Lancaster to the bank – literally and figuratively!

The loan terms will allow the city to take over the fiber network outright should MAW default, Hopkins said. It could then hire another firm to manage it.
Lancaster also would have liens on MAW’s other assets and LanCity Connect revenues and potentially could recover other MAW revenues in the event the company folded while still owing the city money.
From the above LNP article (click here).
What happened to those liens and revenues, Patrick Hopkins? MAW defaulted on the loan and you want to pay them another $2.7 million to go away? There was “no risk,” Patrick?

The front page scary headline in today’s print LNP (click here).
From the LNP story, “Lancaster County prosecutor won’t appeal drug task force records ruling: there’s ‘significant public interest,'” (click here). “Adams” is District Attorney Heather Adams and “Stedman” is former District Attorney and now judge Craig Stedman.
* And not a single council person asked how much Courtney Schultz of Saul Ewing will charge an hour in her role as “special counsel for PUC matters,” (she is pictured left and click here for her attorney page). Let’s make sure someone asks at the next meeting! Can you imagine? 
City council meets tonight. The agenda and much more will come later today.
Oh please, Jack Brubaker, you know the answer to this – it is Lancaster Newspapers (click here). Don’t pretend to be slow – it is your employer – the Steinmans who have been extremely conservative and racist for years and years and that was reflected daily in the newspapers they own/owned! And as reported on this site, Beverly (Peggy) Steinman unethically donated large amounts of money to Republican candidates in the county and the state for years.

This is absolutely unbelievable. Why the hell the city is paying money to a company that they should be suing for their bungling of this whole fiasco. Instead they are GIVIBG them money to go away. Why? Because if the city took them to court, MAW would reveal all the corrupt and insider wheeling and dealing?
There are SO MANY credible fiber optic companies with certified track records they could have chosen.
Instead they go with a “company” that in the old politically incorrect days would have been reduced to a Polish joke.
Lancaster is lost.
-150,000 missing
-Millions and millions spent on NOTHING
-Cases like Erma Kaylor’s that could have been solved perhaps with that money
-CRIZ money dumped into the convention center instead of local businesses who ended up having to pay professionals to fill out the mandatory paperwork all the while knowing they wouldn’t get a dime
-A multi-million dollar “retirement community” high-rise to be built in the city that will cast permanent shadows on residential neighborhood homes.
-Banal retread airport art in Lancaster Square
-No public information on just what they plan to do with the soon to be former public library building
-Outright, on the record collusion with the LNP
-Rogue cops costing tens of thousands in suits brought by citizens – guaranteeing that the city’s insurance premiums will only go up.
Enough?
