“On behalf of East Whiteland United, a group of landowners and citizens impacted by the Sentinel Green Fig II, LLC’s (“Sentinel”) development of the former Foote Mineral CERCLA Site (“Project”), undersigned counsel is hereby serving this letter to provide to you official notice pursuant to Section 617 of the Pennsylvania Municipalities Code of the group’s intention to sue the East Whiteland Township and the Board of Supervisors (the “Township”) and Sentinel for violations of the Township ordinances and the terms and conditions of the Final Plan Approval granted by the Township for the Project.”
“The township manager declined to comment. The township board chair and a representative for the developer did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.”
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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/
So as I hinted this morning, in the-let’s-harass-former-female-employees-and-residents of it all in West Vincent there is an update. Mind you I am allowed to have my opinions on what this township is doing and what the elected officials are ALLOWING.
So this happened:
So….West Vincent blinked? I wondered if this was the direction it was headed when I saw on October 1st that the drooling idiots over in West Vincent miraculously realized that they had access to their Instagram account or accounts?
First of all, they are STILL misspelling her name. And she is not jut a former employee, she lives in the township (but I digress.) But what do we expect from Tommy Ryan who posted it?
STATEMENT OF WEST VINCENT TOWNSHIP AS TO THE TOWNSHIP OWNED FACEBOOK PAGE
On August 5, 2025, Christina Casey’s employment with West Vincent Township was terminated.
As is commonly done when employment is separated, the Township immediately worked to close or update Township business accounts that were created by, controlled by, or in the name of Ms. Casey. This included accounts with various State agencies, Amazon, Zoom, and others, including Facebook.
In the weeks to follow Ms. Casey did not assist the Township in its efforts to regain control of the Township’s official Facebook page, even though she remained an Administrator of the Facebook page.
On September 23, 2025, seven weeks after her termination, Ms. Casey retained access to the Township Facebook page and deleted information about a road resurfacing project.
The Township then began its efforts to work with Meta (the owner of Facebook) to remove Ms. Casey as administrator of the Township Facebook page. The Township’s efforts through Meta have been unsuccessful.
In January 2026 Ms. Casey stated she had transferred administrative authorizations to Township staff on two occasions – January 2 and January 15. The Township engaged a third-party IT consultant to review the Township’s email system and all available Facebook settings, and on January 16, 2026, the consultant reported that no evidence of administrative authorizations having been transmitted to the Township was found.
Still unable to access its Facebook page, the Township inquired again of Ms. Casey through her attorney to gain access. In response, on April 29, 2026, counsel for Ms. Casey stated his client had “no further interest to attempt to assist the Township”. Ms. Casey took this position even though she remained the Administrator of the West Vincent Township Facebook page.
With all avenues to access the Facebook page exhausted, the Township sought the help of the court system. On September 3, 2026, the Township filed a Complaint in Equity and a Petition for Preliminary Injunction to ask the court to compel Ms. Casey’s cooperation. In response to the Township’s legal filings, the Township learned for the first time that her role as Administrator was removed on June 30, 2026.
Consequently, because Ms. Casey is no longer an Administrator of the Township Facebook page, she presently can be of no help to the Township, and the Township has now withdrawn its Petition for Preliminary Injunction against Ms. Casey.
The Township’s Facebook page is vitally important to the Township administration in allowing the Township to communicate with its followers to provide needed information about Township events. The Township has started a new Facebook page – WestVincentTownshipPA – and directs the followers of the original Township Facebook page to this new page.
date: October 7, 2026
Can I just say it out loud and not in my head? That West Vincent Manager Tommy Ryan is a freak and an idiot? I have other more pejorative and aptly descriptive curse words I would love to apply, but don’t wish to be rude to my readers.
If Facebook is so “vitally important” he should have learned how to use it while Kristina was still employed, yes?
And point of fact: Kristina did indeed try to assist with turning the page over to someone, hell anyone else in West Vincent, and that manager was TOO DUMB TO FIGURE IT OUT.
I guess there was no mansplaination available or they were out of Facebook For Dummies?
Yes except for real there is a REAL book, and this is latest edition and can be purchased on Amazon.
So basically, Manager Tommy Ryan says he initiated court proceedings because he didn’t know how to use Facebook? And the West Vincent Township Stupidvisors are ok with him doing this to a woman who used to be a employee and is a resident and taxpayer? Ok I can’t hold back…. are you f-cking kidding me right now?
West Vincent is known for the ridiculous, but this is astounding. And also very wrong. West Vincent Supervisors might as well just say they condone harassing their employees and residents.
And here is what I think they should do (but won’t): fire the manager and current solicitor. I do not know how much that solicitor has billed but that manager? $160K a year to harass a woman because of his own lack of knowledge and inability to admit he screwed up?
Here is what I think about the stupidvisors:
Chair Dana Allen: Weak, always looks like she is going to cry but is that because she constantly gets cut off and mansplained to by staff? Whatever the case may be, she is a WOMAN and has as chair allowed this to happen to ANOTHER WOMAN so she should RESIGN.
Vice Chair Bernie Couris: given his health issues which are no joke, he should have left the party quite a while ago. As it stands, he literally looks like he is in a stupor at every meeting. I would say he was an enlightened Democrat but at the end of the day he’s just a typical West Conshy former Republican politician and should also RESIGN. My opinion is he no longer gives a sheit, can’t you agree?
Then there is the new guy. His name is Sean Clark and he says almost nothing and is rumored to have taken a supervisor’s gig because he wants to steppingstone to a higher office which is probably why he doesn’t do much other than take up space, right? Well at least one of his kids is a girl so if he’s ok with a woman being treated by the township where he is an elected official and sworn to take care of his constituents no matter their sex, age, race, or gender then he deserves to be haunted into a very brief political career yes?
Here is the stuff from the docket:
Here is what Kristina had to say this afternoon:
Last word? I want people to let others know if West Vincent’s Fakebook page censors anyone in any way.
And residents need to start going to meetings. None of you should find your hard earned tax dollars being spent on utter bullsheit like this. But then again, this is a township where many of the residents don’t really think they deserve better do they?
