5thEstate.com has kept on top of Lancaster Newspaper's business partner S. Dale High's latest project across from Long's Park. Our faithful readers will remember about the Manhiem Township "Double Crossing" (click to read our story) and how High's business partner's employee totally 'dissed the citizen's group's lawyer (click to read our story)

Needless to say - this is something that you just won't see in Lancaster Newspaper's publication unless they are embarrassed into it! Shortly after we published those stories in July, High employees had a closed-door secret meeting with the entire East Hempfield board - save one!

We heard about the secret meeting. we read the minutes and watched to see if the newspaper would print about their business partner's illegal meeting. Nothing was ever printed!

The secret meeting was revealed in the August 1, 2007 meeting when absent-from-the-secret-meeting Heidi Wheaton spoke about it in a public meeting. Just how did the supervisor explain their leave-the-public-out-of-the-meeting? Litigation! The problem? There is no litigation!

While East Hempfield supervisors could discuss ALONE with their lawyer(s) threatened or pending litigation, their absolutely no reason under they could meet with Dale High's "representatives" now! How did Lancaster Newspaper report on their business partner's closed door meeting? The August 2, 2007 Lancaster New Era's David O'Connor story was entitled, E. Hempfield trash fees increasing 25%

. STOP THE PRESS!

Never a word was written in Lancaster Newspaper's about East Hempfield supervisor's illegal meeting.

This isn't the first time that Lancaster New Era has covered for the establishment's East Hempfield township. Two years ago, it was revealed that supervisor Brett Miller was embroiled in the middle of auditgate - Miller missed three audits and signed a completely bogus one. What did the New Era do? They endorsed Miller of course! (click to read our story)

In this election - Miller is running with primary lose Ed Lefevre who are currently considering a 25% tax increase! Loser Lefevre while losing the primary - he said because of bad ballot position - is running a write-in campaign with the blessings of most of the East Hempfield township GOP.
