east whiteland political robo-text season has bloomed.
East Whiteland Republicans in between their worshipping of big orange clowns and their bad runs for everything candidates like Melissa Dicranian is robo texting everyone under the sun whether they want it or not… and please note that their sample ballot includes a no vote on representative democracy- yes that’s right – JUST like the Great Valley Democrats they want you to say NO to expanding the board by two members.
Say NO to both East Whiteland Republicans and Great Valley Democrats by voting YES to add two more supervisors.
Both of these political parties are the way it used to be in Philadelphia city politics for example, for a very long time. So they don’t have people fighting against one another and conflict, all they do is make deals and that’s done at the expense of the plurality.
If both the Democrats and Republican parties and party heads in East Whiteland Township are working so hard to defeat what literally the people wanted and got on the ballot, you know that the people are on the right path not the political party heads who are just out of touch.
As far as the Great Valley Democrats go, it seems the supervisors in East Whiteland currently are against adding two more supervisors doesn’t that mean they are also out of touch?
As Americans, we deserve to have good government. But good government must also be realistic government.
It used to be that there were moderates on both sides that enabled governing to get done. I think thanks in part to the current administration in Washington those days are gone. All we are seeing are extremes and politics further ruining our Democratic system of government just as I first said 20 years ago.
Where we can take the opportunity to exercise our rights peacefully, and politely as Americans, even on the most local of levels, we should do that. And one of the ways we can do this is to pay attention to ballot initiatives even in off-year elections.
This November, I am imploring all voting residents of East Whiteland Township to vote YES to add two more supervisors. It is our legal right to ask for better representation under the second class township code.
Spin doctors have been retained and we will undoubtedly be made to wonder if normal wants and desires with regard to wanting additional representation is bad. Undoubtedly people will be gaslit, probably including people like me or anyone who is outspoken.
Ignore the spin doctoring. Spin doctoring only works to divide people, not unify them.
This ballot referendum it’s not about political parties. It is about the citizenry. We have had too many years of feeling like we are not adequately heard. Adding two more supervisors is two more pairs of ears to listen, not doomsday as both political parties would have you believe.
hello again east whiteland supervisors
Dear East Whiteland Supervisors,
I figure I will address you this way because well you guys really do not respond to much these days, do you?
I do believe the headline in the Philadelphia Inquirer, said it all the other day:
“Amid data center disputes, East Whiteland hired a PR firm, while its residents hired an attorney.”
Here’s the article link in case you haven’t read it and it didn’t cost the taxpayers $6800:
https://www.inquirer.com/news/pennsylvania/east-whiteland-ceisler-20261015.html
So let’s review: this week you were rude to our State Senator and abysmal towards residents, both local and visiting. Like you called the cops on them and where did that paranoia come from?
Here’s the 411: we live here and we pay taxes and for some stupid reason we voted for each and every one of you. Part of our fundamental rights in this country is the right to public comment, opinion, questioning government, or do you forget about all those little details?
You don’t seem to listen to anyone, even officials in neighboring municipalities do you? I mean it’s not just the residents who are having a hard time with this township is it?
Among the things we saw at this week’s meeting is the tail is wagging the dog. Do you guys even know what goes on in your own township building? Why does your manager talk in circuitous word salads these days?
Here’s a video of the comments:
Peter Fixler, why are you a supervisor? You obviously don’t want to be around residents, so why did you run in the first place? What are you getting out of this? Do you think you’re going to get some further political cherry? With the way you treat residents every meeting? You don’t even follow the meeting rules that you like to lob at people do you? (Note 3 and 4 below.)
Peter, this past meeting there were a couple things that stuck out. First was your comment “That is inappropriate.”
How are you the arbiter of appropriateness? You are literally a jerky boy every meeting. You smirk, you, sneer, you mock, you badger, you lecture, shall I go on?
You attempted to be cheeky with the ladies of General Warren over Bishop Tube when they commented that most everyone wasn’t around when the whole Bishop Tube saga started and you said you were? Well Peter, there’s a difference between being around and being present, isn’t there?
Then Peter, you said when Ginny Kerslake was speaking “Ginny everything you say is half truths.” Ginny only deals in facts, and you essentially called her a liar. Do we want to talk about inappropriate for real?
You all seem to like to paint Ginny as the antichrist, and why? Because she tells the truth?
Scott Lambert, you honestly disappointed me this past meeting.
We will start with your cutting off the public comment. I heard you actually cut someone off who was getting up to compliment you guys on something? Good job.
If you don’t want to take public comment anymore why are you all sitting up there? Not that we want you to step aside Scott because then Jerry Pyne comes into play and that’s a shit show isn’t it? But we need you to lead and not hide behind the solicitor or anyone else and IMHO you know what is going on here is wrong don’t you?
Also wrong? Refusing to let our State Senator Katie Muth speak. and then you made it worse by saying “Katie would you show some respect here?”
And then there was your snarky comment “We are out of the public comment shouting period.”
Facts matter, and at that meeting on Wednesday night, you showed State Senator Katie Muth whom has been very good to this municipality, enormous disrespect. She helps you get things like grants (I mean, I know you probably think it’s because of she of the bad cat eye, your assistant mismanager, but it’s really probably more because of Katie Muth isn’t it?)
You showed Katie Muth disrespect and rudeness that embarrassed your residents. That behavior was not a show of strength. It was a political tactical error and unforgivably rude.
There are so many things I don’t get and you all have such a sense of disconnect from the people who elected you to look out for them, it is quite simply astounding.
This is part of why we want two more supervisors. This is why residents worked to get that question on the ballot, and you’re doing everything you can to stop that, while you should be probably enforcing stop work orders and making sure that the developers over at Foote Mineral are doing things the right way don’t you think?
And then there’s the zoning officer that we heard was was hired to replace the one who was disappeared who didn’t last seemingly long enough to even make it into the township directory and why was that really? Why can’t you get a zoning officer? Have you asked yourselves that question?
And the magical monopole (is that the right term for that giant pole with the electrical stuff coming off of it?) at Foote Mineral? None of you will answer anything about it and why?
So then you hire a PR firm. A PR firm that are as you know damage control specialists and political fixers aren’t they?
So you hired a PR firm at the tune of $6800 a month which is like $81,000+ a year instead of getting a public information officer? How is it you think they’re going to be answering emails and performing duties that somebody that for example isn’t a sworn right to know officer? We don’t want to get our answers from Spin Doctors. That is just as bad as all of your non-answers at present.
You know what I think? My opinion is you hired a PR firm with taxpayer funds to gaslight the taxpayers further. And you actually have the brass balls to say it won’t add another layer between you guys and the residents? Do you really think we’re all that stupid?
I think the main problem with all of you is probably that you expected us all to just be little sheeple. You never expected residents to question anything that was happening. The irony is of course that’s how all of you got into office in the first place so is it power corrupts?
I should be fair to Clint and not really lump him in with everything because he looks like a deer in headlights most meetings. He’s probably regretting that he ever ran for office?
You guys are doubling down on bad decisions in my opinion instead of trying to actually find solutions. You’re committing political suicide, and I don’t know where your moral compasses have gone? Do any of you have a true north anymore?
Anyway, that’s all I’ve got to say. Not that what I say or what anyone else says appears to matter to any of you. Please read the message from the Chair of the West Whiteland Supervisors. That’s what leadership is all about.
Bye for now.
are the great valley democrats and east whiteland republicans against representative democracy?
So the real scandal of the week, other than the continuing circus that is known as East Whiteland Township has to do with Great Valley Democrats who recently at their meetings which they hold inside the East Whiteland Township building, voted against representative democracy, which seems to be like it should be a hallmark of Democrat politics or ideologies, but maybe not here because here it’s about control and if you don’t have control it’s no good?
So I know that, of course Bill Holmes and Jerry Pyne have been beating their big drums and small appendages about this adding two more supervisors issue. Not only do they seem to want data centers, but they have their little fifedom of control as far as the Great Valley Democrats.
Now you can thank politician Michele Vaughn for Bill Holmes. And if someone dug into her, how much time does she put in at her county row job at the Register of Wills? And why is she always trying to get municipalities to use specific engineering firms, etc.? What does she get out of that?  I mean, there are a lot of things about that politician that I still wonder if you really peeled back the layers what would you find?
In full disclosure she was my first exposure to how shady dell acres East Whiteland politics are. That was many moons ago when she didn’t like it that I wrote about Bill Holmes lawn signs and mocked them. She called up the then head of the East Whiteland Republicans, who had no idea who was on voter rolls since we had just moved into the township that recently, and she was all sputtering on the phone with this woman calling me a tea party operative, whatever the heck that was and is that normal?
But all the pieces fit together. Now back to the Great Valley Democrats.
What I’m hearing is, they took some kind of a vote at a meeting? That there was a 6 to 4 vote? So East Whiteland has what five precincts? You multiply those precincts times committee people and you get 10 right?
What’s the story on the six committee people that voted to come out against the ballot measure or question??
And are the committee people that voted to not come out against the measure, are those united pairs of certain precincts?
A friend of mine said today regarding this oddness from both the Democrats and the Republicans and this ballot question the following :
For both organizations, that’s 6 new committee spots….Bigger org? Who doesn’t want that, other than someone who might has well be a potted plant… or dead? Because they aren’t contributing to living. But even a potted plant, absorbs some carbon.
Then there is the question I have for people about the bylaws of the Great Valley Democrats and East Whiteland Republicans. And the question is simple: did they violate their bylaws by taking a stand against democracy and representation? (If somebody has copies of their bylaws and has read through them, please send me the bylaws.)
Now I also know that the chair of the East Whiteland Supervisors Democrat Scott Lambert is against growing the board. And it was reported he pretty much said as much at a recent Great Valley Democrats meeting held in the boardroom of East Whiteland Township.
This poses the question especially with local Democrat and Republican organizations: are they against representative democracy and transparency?
👉🏻Again, this is why if you live in East Whiteland Township please no matter what your political persuasion vote yes to add two more supervisors and add more representation. We need to shake up local government if we’re going to get better local government. And not just in East Whiteland, but in other municipalities as well. 👈🏻
Vote YES, to add two more supervisors to East Whiteland Township under the second class Township code. Our futures depend upon it.
political monkey see, monkey do in….east whiteland
People laugh when I compare the Great Valley Democrats and East Whiteland Republicans to “Pat” the character from Saturday Night Live.
But it’s true, they are neither one thing nor the other and utterly codependent. Residents of East Whiteland, the Great Valley Democrats are saying NO to the ballot question of adding two more supervisors (thank Scott Lambert, Peter Fixler, Bill Holmes, and Jerry Pyne??) and so are the East Whiteland Republicans for a big case of monkey see monkey do…. political edition.
Both parties are scared of this which means RESIDENTS SHOULD WANT THIS EVEN MORE.
PLEASE CHOOSE YES TO THE BALLOT QUESTION OF ADDING TWO MORE SUPERVISORS THIS NOVEMBER.
no pr spin doctors can help the east whiteland’s governmental dumpster fire.
Tonight was one for the record books. The entire meeting devolved into chaos and it was at the hands of the township itself. They did it.
Peter Fixler essentially called Ginny Kerslake a liar. Scott Lambert refused to let State Senator Katie Muth speak.
It’s obvious that East Whiteland despises her residents.
No, my favorite part of the evening was when Ginny Kerslake did make the poor widdle baby face at Peter Fixler along with the voice.
I’m beginning to think no PR spin doctors can handle this dumpster fire of municipality.
This meeting demonstrates again quite clearly why East Whiteland residents have to vote YES to add two more supervisors when they go to the polls in November.
east whiteland planning commission members do not seem to be fans of open government?
On January 27, 2026, Planning Commission Bob Logan (seen far left in above meme) wrote:
So allow me to be clear: even before Bob Logan was on the planning commission (and it still escapes me that they took him on and yes I can have that opinion) I thought he was a bloviator. I do not care for him. At all. I encountered him years ago at various meetings and in local groups. So this showed up in a right to know someone sent to me because I was mentioned by him like an escaped convict IMHO.
In all fairness, there was another email in the batch with a similar feeling shall we say, although it did not mention me by name. This was what the vice chair of planning said:
So I knew the planning commission didn’t want to be camera ready. And did I ask for East Whiteland to start streaming and recording Planning Commission Meetings? YES I DID. It is merely transparency and good government, something which seems to be sorely lacking at times, yes?
We ARE the public, why should we be denied access, Bob??
I will note that East Whiteland has seemingly stopped recording the planning meetings which means they are probably back to random things that they were doing here and there which IMHO I felt they should not have been doing- allow me to be clear: not about planning stuff per se but the quasi political utterances and moments of silence that had ZERO to do with a planning commission and I am not the only one who heard these things, right?
So Bob Logan, who essentially lives fairly close to me acts like I am a second class citizen proposing something bad or dangerous because I am blogger? I guess if I just stood quietly at my stove stirring a bad stew I would be more palatable to him? Ha! I wear it as a badge of honor that he doesn’t like me. But Bob? I am a resident and taxpayer too. I believe in open government and the reason I asked for those meeting especially earlier this year to be zoomed/streamed is because they were about the data center and they were meetings that were often over capacity almost weren’t they? I hope Bob doesn’t decide to run for Supervisor some day don’t you?
This is the list of Planning Commission members and highlighted were the ones who showed up in the right to know as being against recording the meetings which to be honest is not an unusual municipal occurrence except here:
So what are they afraid will happen if meetings are recorded? If I was a supervisor or manager type person in East Whiteland I would have every meeting streamed and recorded for the planning commission. If they kick up a fuss about a meeting being recorded that is suspect. And yes, I can have that opinion. And members of boards in a municipality who aren’t all about transparency and open government? Kick those anti-sunshine folks to the curb.
These little love notes from the planning commission will have me share the meeting recordings that do exist and the right to know which also shows when East Whiteland changed engineering firms if that is of interest.
So little old me the 2nd class citizen is signing off…for now.
fearless restaurants lose court case over touchy feely employee, but dude also was charged before with being a peeping tom?
So I was somewhat gob smacked this morning when I logged into the Delco Times and saw an article about Fearless Restaurants and a lawsuit they recently lost.
Fearless Restaurant Group as in White Dog Cafe etc and my head is spinning. Is this guy still employed by them? How long has he been employed by them? How many of their restaurants has he worked in? Why would they have somebody on staff like this for so long? I have to ask what is the point of having a “good employee” from their owner perspective if he ends up costing them money in litigation later on? Is he still employed by them?
Excerpt:
Philadelphia-area restaurant group won a $200,000 verdict after suing the company for protecting and enabling a sexual predator.
The lawsuit, filed in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas by attorney Ryan Grace, alleged two claims of negligence against Fearless Restaurant LLC, and two claims of assault and battery against Daniel Razionale, 37, Philadelphia.
Related article and excerpt:
Two former employees of a Philadelphia-area restaurant group have filed a lawsuit alleging the company protected and enabled a known sexual predator, allowing him to continue victimizing female employees while transferring him from property to property.
The lawsuit, filed in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas by attorney Ryan Grace on behalf of two women, alleges two claims of negligence against Fearless Restaurant LLC, and two claims of assault and battery against Daniel Razionale.
“In the complaint, we allege that a restaurant group that owns White Dog Cafe and other large establishments hired a man who was already on sex offender probation, let him molest multiple female co-workers, then sided with the abuser and tried to ostracize the victims from the Philadelphia area restaurant industry,” Grace said in a statement. “Fearless Restaurants seems to think that waitresses have to put up with being victimized and that getting groped is just part of their job. We are honored to help these women fight back against that toxic attitude in the service industry.”
After I posted the Delco Times article, people on social media said this wasn’t the first time litigation had been levied against this restaurant group for sexual harassment related things which I had never known. I thought they were making it up until I found the Philadelphia Magazine article from 2016:
https://www.phillymag.com/news/2016/01/22/white-dog-cafe-wayne-sexual-harassment-lawsuit/
Excerpt:
Dad Sues White Dog Cafe for Sexual Harassment on Behalf of Late Daughter
The restaurant’s owner Marty Grims calls the suit, which he has yet to be served with, “totally ridiculous” and says there is “absolutely no basis” for it.
by Victor Fiorillo· 1/22/2016, 11:47 a.m.
📌…”The lawsuit was filed last week by an Upper Darby father on behalf of his late daughter who, according to health department records, died by suicide on August 24, 2011, at the age of 21. The daughter, a West Philadelphia resident, worked at the Wayne location of the White Dog Cafe starting in 2010, and according to the lawsuit, she was subjected to unwanted advances and other forms of sexual harassment while employed there. (The names have been withheld out of respect to the family.)”📌
OK, I wasn’t aware of a toxic work culture, but if somebody who just patronizes a restaurant or two in a restaurant group occasionally, how would you know? Of course now this makes me wonder why sometimes when you go into one of these restaurants, they seem shortstaffed, right?
Then people started saying “oh well this isn’t the first time this guy has been charged with stuff like this.”
And guess what? It isn’t.

https://patch.com/pennsylvania/radnor/peeping-tom-arrested-second-time-radnor-police
Of course, this all doesn’t jive with the other image this person is trying to cultivate does it?
https://bmmagazine.co.uk/business/an-interview-with-daniel-razionale-exploring-paths-less-traveled/
I am literally just shaking my head. I am having a disconnect in my head of how a successful restaurant group with the founder’s daughter also at the helm had an employee like this? And all this stuff which amounts to a toxic work environment and culture?
I just don’t understand how as a woman in a managerial/ownership/leadership position you would want an employee like that? And I am bearing in mind that they want to give this person a second chance at a rehabilitated life but how long do problems continue before you deal with them?
And this man who’s been charged with this stuff, he’s sick, isn’t he? So why move him around like the articles indicate from restaurant to restaurant like a freaking pedophile priest in the archdiocese of Philadelphia and not get him help?
Here we are at 2026 and women are still being sexually harassed like it’s nothing in the workplace and when will it stop but then again women are still being raped at frat parties in college so when will that stop? Are young women new to corporate America in some cases being warned like I was once upon a time decades ago to keep my back to the wall when a certain male employee was in the copier room?
Sign me really disappointed in this restaurant group. Suffice to say it’s been a bad news cycle week for restaurants and restaurant groups in this area lately hasn’t it?
imagine the never quiet and support east whiteland united
This video scroll below gives you a lot of helpful information as to why people don’t want a data center in East Whiteland.
Imagine now the never quiet and how that will affect people and nature? Would you want that 24/7/365?
https://eastwhitelandunited.com/take-action
The background noise is that of an actual data center in Virginia- Louden County AKA that place that East Whiteland Supervisors and erstwhile staff did NOT visit in person before embarking on this project from hell.

hey it’s me and pinktober still sucks.
I saw the above screenshot on Instagram and I grabbed it, because at least it’s not pink plastic crap.
Pinktober is hyper commercialized. It’s still a disease that has a very public face and is a very private thing to live through.
I don’t like pink plastic crap and I haven’t liked it for 15 years. People hawking those products are doing it for their profit not for the benefit of breast cancer patients or survivors.
I’m not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but I think women deserve more respect if you’re going to have a month devoted to breast cancer.
I reached my 15 year mark June 1 and I’m very lucky and I know it. Since that point, I have had many friends diagnosed and I have some friends who have hit the 25 year mark of being cancer-free if not more.
Whenever this month of fake pink celebration rolls around, I think of how my head was literally swirling, including the room when I got my diagnosis. I wasn’t feeling like a warrior or a cheerleader or anything other than scared. I was lucky I have a great support system. Not every woman has that.
And I think today because of the continuing issues with our healthcare system, it’s harder. And I’m not just talking about coverage and/or being denied benefits. It’s about even being able to get into get basic testing done let alone schedule surgery in a timely manner. I have been told by people using for example, that they are waiting weeks to get things like an MRI read at hospital system that is not mine.
So maybe this month you guys out there support someone you know going through breast cancer.
We don’t need to be hovered over every day.
We just need to know that people are there for us.
And when you’re there for other people don’t impose your own fears or ideas because you really don’t know until you live through it.
Just be a friend.
Until next time…
