    SCHREIBER LIES!

         Today, the New Era runs an editorial that is nothing but a blatant attempt to coerce the County Commissioners into increasing the hotel tax to benefit the hotel the newspapers own.  Can you say conflict of interest?   Unbelievable!
         Run these newspapers and their new “Executive Editor,” Ernie Schreiber, out of town!

         Click here for “The hotel tax” and please check back later today. 
         Please also note the “disclaimer” at the end of the editorial. What a sad joke:
         Please note Penn Square Partners consists of Penn Square General Corp., an affiliate of the High Cos., and Penn Square Ltd. LLC, an affiliate of Lancaster Newspapers Inc., publisher of the Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era and the Sunday News.
