So I just sent an email to the Borough Manager of Malvern Borough:
Ms. Whitaker,
I live in neighboring East Whiteland and we’re fighting a data center and now I see something being posted that you guys are having some kind of zoning hearing board about a data center?
I’m looking for specificity here: is the data center being proposed for the Borough of Malvern or are you proposing a data center ordinance?
For what it’s worth you don’t want tall buildings in the borough. Eastside flats has caused a problem that the borough will never recover from and you also didn’t make much on the ratables. Supersizing is not sustainable.
I have attached a screenshot that has caused me to email you.
Thank you
OK, so then I did some more digging on my own because Malvern Borough has a crappy website, but then I found this on Facebook put out by the burrow of Malvern in a forum that a lot of people don’t use I assume by whoever does their stuff in the borough-
I’m guessing this is the woman who put out the notice on Facebook:
smackenzie@malvern.org
I found it sort of on the website finally – maybe it’s their mobile version that just kind of sucks, I don’t know.
I will admit that I find it profoundly disturbing that they want to supersize the tiny little strip mall where the Wawa and Worrell’s is and Anthony’s and England’s or anywhere else? This is a small town and we all know how Eastside flats looks like Jabba the Hutt. We all know that the proposed giant apartment building across from The Flying Pig hasn’t been moving forward much, I don’t get it and it’s a giant, ugly, scarred bit of earth with holes in the ground and a fence around it.
During a discussion of the police services and budgeting at the of Malvern Borough Council, resident Joan Yeager asked a related question:
“Once the King Street project is completed, how much additional money is going to come into the borough? In taxes and all,” she said.
“Something in the neighborhood of $60,000 a year,” council president Woody Van Sciver said, citing a financial feasibility study done before the project was approved.
The Patch Aticle seemed to have disappeared but I found it on the Internet Archive:
Look, honestly how would they fit a data center in Malvern Borough? I think all that happening is a data center ordinance but it’s just as important for all the residents to go there to this meeting. You also don’t want everything in the little town where you live to be super sized again.
I will write again if I hear from the borough manager.
We decided that the Great Valley Democrats looked better holding one of our signs Supervisor Peter Peter Puppy Hater is very busy as a PAC of 1 with his two signs against representative democracy at the township building.
Yeah so I guess we know what the big “rally” was for in Burke Park last evening was for, right? To vomit their uniparty lawn signs right? Is this the work of good old Jerry and Bill or others? Not that the East Whiteland Republicans are showing any additional intelligence on this issue compared to the Great Valley Democrats who are out burning shoe leather more than kids playing ding dong ditch.
These people are even depositing signs on church lawns which of course could but a church’s non-profit status in jeopardy.
They are also putting them in right of ways blocking sight lines. But what do I expect? Not much.
Now, if you were not convinced that voting for two more supervisors was the right thing already, look no further than these screenshots below to know that you ARE doing the right thing.And why does she care that people care enough about their community to try and enact POSITIVE change?
As we have seen recently, both political parties in East Whiteland are seeming to be aligned against representative democracy, and then you have this woman saying that if you’re against a data center or you want two more supervisors, you’re just NIMBY? I mean for real? The Huddler is a wee bit obvious isn’t she?
At least one particular Supervisor from East Whiteland Township is a top contributors in her group, correct? So what’s that phrase in the Bible about Beware the false prophets?
Oh wait here it is:
Matthew 7:15: Jesus warns, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”
Anyway, she’s always going to do her and I’m always going to do me. If people don’t vote next week to choose yes on the ballot referendum for two more supervisors then guess what? This township gets the representation residents deserve. It is that simple.
And don’t believe both political parties when they tell you that people aren’t interested in being supervisors because they are.
The fact that both political parties are kicking up such a fuss tells you that it’s time to do this. It doesn’t get any more simplistic than that.
And if some woman who’s not that much further away from where the data center will be wants to say that people who don’t want the data center are NIMBY and people who want five supervisors are NIMBY should simply make you wonder what does she get out of it for saying so? I mean besides atta girls for sucking up to the township? Is she bucking for public information officer?
This woman certainly does not get the admiration of her neighbors does she? Someone should drive one of those trucks that play data center sounds up and down her street. She would change her tune quickly in my humble opinion.
Now in case the screen shots show fuzzy wherever you read this blog here is the verbiage verbatim:
OCTOBER 23, 2026:
A different point of view on the people behind the data center activism and why our township now needs to spend money to combat the barrage of attacks and misleading information.
Our current BOS mostly ran uncontested and were elected. They are not politicians. They are our neighbors. Our neighbors! Who raised their hand to help. Did you? Did your raise your hand to help? Think about that before you sh*t post about the very few people who actually cared enough to do this ”.job” on top of their real job and in addition to all of the other responsibilities in their life. They chose to represent and help our township for no other reason than service to our community. Can you say the same? Have you helped our township? How? Have you run for a BOS position? The data says no. Yet, when a NIMBY issue comes up, people suddenly care.
Now the August post:
AUGUST 3rd, 2026:
The discussion around increasing the BOS from 3 to 5 people has come up from time to time in the past. To date, most of the elected positions have run unopposed. The township could barely get 3 people to run out of almost 15,000 residents.
The recent scramble to try to increase to 5 people, simply because of the data center issue, gives me pause. It’s a NIMBY excuse to get involved. Would the people suddenly interested in running care about everything else in the township? I’m skeptical. The interest now is too little too late in my opinion. The contaminated sites in our township are not new issues. Neither are the discussions about what to build on them or next to them. And if everyone cares about open space they should have gotten involved a decade or more ago. There are brand new townhomes in Anfield next to an old landfill selling for nearly $1 M. Atwater was built next to a dangerous quarry lake. The new development on Flat Rd was placed on risky sinkhole land next to an active quarry. Many homes are across from ugly commercial properties in EW. And the prices don’t go down. The development in the county was purposefully planned to be in EW to save open space in other townships. It would be nice to have five BOS seats filled with people who truly care about the entire township. But knowing the constant harassment that comes with occupying elected roles here, who in their right mind would run? And why? Ask why! Thank you to the three brave people on the BOS, out of 15,000, who raised their hand to help. You cared before you had to and I appreciate your service. If you get two more to join you, I hope they are joining for the right reasons.
Shall we also say with SHE (The Huddler) gives a lot of us pause? The way she is so trivial about contaminated land in East Whiteland Township and someone told me she is a breast cancer survivor? As a breast cancer survivor personally, I can’t quite fathom that.
The interest now is too little too late in my opinion. The contaminated sites in our township are not new issues. ~ The Huddler August 2026
She calls people who don’t want a data center NIMBY? She calls people who wish to expand the board of supervisors NIMBY?
She does a lot of talking, mostly out of her backside. (And what does she not get that supervisors ARE politicians?)
She talks about uncontested supervisor races. Actually not all were, but the last time the East Whiteland Republicans ran a winning candidate was Rich Orlow. Rich was then beaten by quite a lot by Scott Lambert (838 to 560) who did the work and went door knocking. I do not even remember him being extra supported by Great Valley Democrats back then but to his credit, he did the work.
Interesting political history is when Bill Holmes initially ran, he ran against Rich Orlow. He only won 911 to 903. (When he ran in 2013 Holmes only defeated Maureen Martinez by ten votes – 892 to her 882. She would have made a terrific supervisor by the way.)
So anyway, Bill Holmes stepped off of the board of East Whiteland Township Supervisors around the same time Brian McGinnis did (now we won’t get into his other issues and feud with Bill Holmes’ pal Michele Vaughn) – they both worked for Vanguard back then. But then Rich Orlow, formerly a Republican, switched political parties from Republican to Democrat to complete Bill Holmes’ term and then stayed in office until 2025 I guess it was when he retired…as a Democrat and Clinton Smith became the third supervisor.
Sorry don’t mean to meander, but context is important when looking at the big picture of nasty East Whiteland politics this year, right? Also interesting to note that Bill Holmes never did prevail by sweeping margins did he? Again…The Huddler talks about people running unopposed and that has not quite been true, just in a lot of cases the East Whiteland Republicans literally ran any body they could prop up like whatever the guy’s name was who ran against Clinton Smith last year. Oh wait, I looked it up – George Sabo who lost to Clinton Smith – Smith votes were 2991 and Sabo votes were 1232. Sabo was a nothing burger so he tanked and truthfully the Republicans didn’t go out of their way for him did they?
So The Huddler wants to paint the boogie man picture of it’s so bad to add two more seats? On what planet? To quote the little website (https://www.eastwhitelandseats.com/) the resident spearheading this initiative put up:
Increasing from a 3-member to a 5-member board of supervisors provides broader geographic representation, prevents power concentrations, changes how majority votes work, and distributes workload.
Then there is the reality: East Whiteland has just shy of 15,000 residents. Easttown has a little over 11,000 residents and 5 supervisors. East Brandywine has a little over 10,000 residents and 5 supervisors. Schuylkill has just shy of 9,000 residents and 5 supervisors. Charlestown (another municipal neighbor) has just over 6,000 residents and 5 supervisors. And this has not been a recent occurrence.
So can we be honest and say that residents waking up to the data center was a motivator to add two more supervisors which is allowed under the 2nd class township code? I mean D’OH of course it was but it is not the only reason or motivator. Elected officials shape how a municipality moves forward, correct? East Whiteland residents have felt let down over more than just a data center. Look at other things like Bishop Tube for example and other developments and even billboards where they felt helpless and powerless, right?
This vote has not and never will be about either major political party. It is about residents NOT feeling heard and wanting more representation given how East Whiteland has grown over the years. I even heard that former supervisor Rich Orlow signed the petition to get this referendum on the ballot? This ballot is about how we are governed in the future. That is not up to the political parties, it is up to us.
But the political parties in East Whiteland, the uniparty uniquely similar to Pat the former Saturday Night Live character, is objecting to this. So here we live in a purported democracy with our two pillar political parties literally objecting to representative democracy?
They want to tell you it’s money and being able to find qualified candidates. Well if they were truly concerned about money would they be popping up with lawn signs against the referendum? The answer is no.
Can it be hard to find candidates? Sure but in my opinion in East Whiteland that mostly has to do with the parties themselves. East Whiteland Republicans seem to still love their MAGA events with their not so cute hats and cheap purses, but they have not really put a lot of effort into candidates for YEARS have they? Great Valley Democrats run their party like a little social club meets the middle school lunch table and either you are in or you are out and heaven forbid you don’t do what you are told every minute of the day, correct? In order to break their cycles of bad, there needs to be change pure and simple.
The chair of the East Whiteland Republicans at present has told people they are against 2 more supervisors because they are going to take the board back over in it’s entirety and what planet does she live on? All of the supervisors are not even on the same cycle.
But hey they love their memes:
So yeah that’s who the Great Valley Democrats are in bed with in East Whiteland to defeat this referendum which makes me 1000% question them.
Interestingly enough, both the East Whiteland Republicans and Great Valley Democrats are both working hard on their socials to NOT show they both have sample ballots and signs that are AGAINST the referendum.
The Great Valley Democrats view the referendum as a threat to their power structure and control don’t they? After all look at one of the loudest voices that unctuous old turd former vice chair of the Chester County Democrats Jerry Pyne who was also assistant zone leader, zone leader in the Great Valley Democrat of it all? (He can still be found on the Chesco Dems website as Vice Chair although he is not https://chescodems.org/teams/jerry-pyne/)
Pyne is also the Vacancy Board Chair at present in East Whiteland. The Vacancy Board Chair acts as an independent or neutral tie-breaker if the Board of Supervisors fails to fill a vacant seat on the board within the statutory timeframe mandated by Pennsylvania second-class township code. Yeah that potential power trip gets VASTLY diminished if there are 5 supervisors, doesn’t it? And whom do I think he would appoint if something were to happen on the 3 member board? In my opinion, former supervisor Bill Holmes, the other ardent data center admirer and hate of representative democracy…and I can have that opinion and it’s not so far fetched considering, is it?
The Huddler loves to stir the pot. Full disclosure? She will insert herself when it suits her to raise her own profile and I can also have that opinion because it is not the first time is it? I mean seriously, what will she get out of being cheerleader for these issues? Certainly not community respect right? I mean what did she actually do on parks and rec?
I will note that I used to help out the Great Valley School District Education Foundation for a while as a volunteer on some of their things they were putting out, but I just did it quietly and without fanfare as a favor to someone involved there at the time. I help out with lots of things here and there quietly, that is paying it forward and being a true part of a community and extended community. The Huddler doesn’t get that IMHO, does she?
Criticizing residents for wanting better for their communities and calling them NIMBY is as old as politics in general. It’s neither new nor original. It’s not NIMBY to care, but it is being a righteous bitch for saying that about the people where you live. And she thinks all of the development is ok?
There are people interested in running for supervisor. And I believe if people are smart and vote YES on the referendum in East Whiteland more will follow.
As https://www.eastwhitelandseats.com/ website says, board size alone does not guarantee better decisions. Preparation, transparency, responsiveness, and resident participation matter with three supervisors or five. But the reality is we can’t continue as we have been so why not try something different that works well in municipalities both larger and smaller than East Whiteland?
Today is the last Friday before election day. If you care in East Whiteland you will tune out the narcissistic and opportunistic mosquitoes and vote YES on the ballot referendum to add two more supervisors. Just my opinion of course, but it is what I did proudly when I cast my vote (which is already in and counted.)
In order to make an omlette, sometimes you have to break some eggs. This is no different. Change is not always easy but it is derived from common sense isn’t it? Be peaceful and vote YES on Tuesday.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There is something rather interesting at the bitter end of the agenda for the Wednesday supervisors meeting. Apparently East Whiteland wants to hire a PR firm?
Are you OK with your tax dollars being spent like that? Apparently they must have image issues and could it possibly be the data center and other poor decisions? And they wish to hire a politically obvious firm called Ceisler Media? Can we wonder if they’re going to use a PR firm to be obnoxious towards residents’ opinions they might not agree with? I asked that question because that’s what Lower Merion Township did years ago. Why don’t they have a public information officer like a lot of municipalities have?
Screenshot
It’s a very interesting turn of events and I guess add up that and all the lawyers they currently have employed and makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
When you Google about Ceisler what comes up first? “The firm is widely known for creativity, deep political and media relationships.” ding ding ding. Political operators/damage control. This PR shop has a municipal services arm correct?
Will hiring a PR firm, for example make up for the fact that they don’t have a zoning officer or have a problematic assistant township manager?
Will hiring a PR firm make up for the stupidity and ignorance towards residents that seems to dribble constantly from Supervisor Peter Fixler’s lips? I know from Great Valley Democrat meetings past he did what? Showed up with wifey to sing the politician blues and tries to blame me among others for his lack of popularity? (I mean dude, do you WATCH the meeting replays where you are rude or show disdain for residents? I mean did someone make you do those interviews about your work for an environment and nature centric non-profit entity? Did you seriously think no one would ever wonder how you could work for whom you are employed and then be a data center apologist as an elected official?)
Will hiring a PR firm suddenly make the shady dell acres over at Foote Mineral or Bishop Tube butterflies and unicorns?
Why else do I find the timing interesting? Because of the ballot question that residents officially have on the ballot for this November’s elections. That question is and never has been about politics, it is about township growth, better government and adequate representation. Can’t have that right? The people must be compliant sheeple, right?
What this comes down to is control. And neither party nor East Whiteland Township itself wants to lose control, and isn’t that horse out of the proverbial barn? (Not that there are many barns left because of development in East Whiteland, right?) If East Whiteland gets five total supervisors, people stand a good chance for the first time in years for balance and representation in all matters.
And maybe if East Whiteland get two more supervisors, we can clean house on staff that really shouldn’t be there.
Vote for the government you want, not what the political parties are telling you that you should do. Also, you need to ponder the point that perhaps both parties are for data centers.
So I think that also hiring a PR firm that does “strategic communications”, “brand reputation” and things like social media is ever so timely because face it, those three supervisors don’t want two more do they? I mean did not Board Chairman Scott Lambert actually kind of get into that at a recent Great Valley Democrats meeting in the township building? (The walls maybe do have ears?)
And let’s get real. Members of the Great Valley Democrats literally went to community signing events to stop the ballot question from reaching the ballot (former supervisor Bill Holmes and former VP of ChesCo Dems Jerry Pyne). Now they are saying nothing…but in my humble opinion we know that they are most probably still trying to quite literally stop the public from what they have the right and legal choice to want.
The other thing to note again is the Vacancy Board chair in East Whiteland is Jerry Pyne right? So that makes him a tiebreaker in case a supervisor gets incapacitated, and it also gives him the ability to appoint someone, correct? So is it so far-fetched to think that if something happened he might appoint Bill Holmes again if the opportunity arose?
And the East Whiteland Republicans? They actually have circulated a sample ballot telling Republicans to vote no on the East Whiteland ballot question, haven’t they? Great Valley Democrats are merely being their usual passive aggressive selves. Of course in East Whiteland, both political parties are like Pat from Saturday Night Live years ago. They are more of a homogenous lump than people thing with years of deal making and horse trading just to keep the power from the people.
Think I am kidding? Look at former Supervisor Rich Orlow. He was a Republican who was eventually defeated by Scott Lambert. But then when Bill Holmes had to step down because of work (Vanguard) did he not convince Rich Orlow to switch political parties and become an appointed Democrat Supervisor?
So East Whiteland want s PR firm because they have lost control of their own narrative and they did it to themselves. So they will hire a pit-bull PR shop in an attempt to discredit residents, won’t they? East Whiteland never thought residents would rise up against data centers and them. They never thought residents would organize to question everything AND the data center plan. They never thought residents would organize to get two more supervisors.
East Whiteland residents meet yet another shining example of fear based governance. Take this as your indication that you are trying to do the right thing for your community. This is circling the wagons 101.
Show up at the meeting tomorrow. Ask questions politely. Pack the boardroom. Politely demand better government and come November on election day? Say YES to adding two more supervisors and to answer another question yes there are people interested in stepping up and serving. But three supervisors is not working in East Whiteland. At all. Look no further than the data center of it all, or even old hot topics like Bishop Tube.
I will note that the East Whiteland Republican social media pages are all very Pravda on this bus, showing an actual disconnect to the reality of issues locally….Great Valley Democrats are going for merely limp and insipid on theirs….but also not talking about what matters to residents for real. But in my opinion they are still like a homogenous lump that does no one any good, which is again why they don’t want two more supervisors.
There are other things on the agenda for Wednesday in East Whiteland. I do not see the data center on the agenda, but by all means, please show up and express how you feel about that or any other township issue. I will note there is another liquor license transfer.
You can either attend the meeting virtually via Zoom or in person.
Here’s the link to the website of the PR firm- it doesn’t say whom specifically at the firm they are hiring. https://ceislermedia.com/about/
