I don’t know how or IF this fits together but these are BOTH publicly accessible documents. Someone sent me the federal court record was sent to me and it has a similar name in it is on the data center application???
Whiteland Holdings LP.???
Are they talking about the same property? Apparently they are? So I don’t know what to do with all of that, but it made me go look at the property records and I found something else interesting.
What did I find? That was interesting how about a New York address now for Green Fig?
So they were described to us as being from New Jersey, but it’s really New York? Maybe I misheard? Take a look at this link and you will see the guy that spoke at the data center planning commission meeting.
A reminder of some of the political boot lickers when it comes to data centers.
A reminder that while Senator Katie Muth shows up every time East Whiteland residents need her, Rep. Kristine Howard tells people she will show up if she can squeeze it into her busy schedule doing nothing for constituents and nothing to upset her handlers.
State Representative Lisa Borowski has knee pads with the guvvie’s face on it.
State Representative Chris Pielli is only ever about himself and let his constituents down, abandoning them as a West Goshen Stupidvisor over pipelines and Rep. Paul Friel? He’s hustling his pussy angle it seems.
It was a packed house at Penn State in Great Valley. Quite literally standing room only and hundreds of residents turn out to tell the East Whiteland Planning Commission they didn’t want this data center.
It was a crazy contentious meeting and in the last 20 minutes one member of the planning commission learn not to mess with State Senator Katie Muth when she was defending her constituents.
One of my favorite speakers was the line man. He was freaking awesome.
And so was Ginny Kerslake and so were so many people.
Be proud East Whiteland residents and keep up the good work. Next stop supervisors.
And I know that the developer said at the meeting that he was doing this for the benefit of residents or something like that I’m paraphrasing. I don’t recall any residents requesting a data center so we’ll leave it at that.

PA Rep. Paul Friel and PA Rep. Chris Pielli could have made a difference today. But they didn’t. Why did they sell out their constituents today? We may never know exactly but people keep voting for them so this is on the voters. Obviously they are not in office to serve their constituents.
These two men are supposed to serve Chester County, but did they do so today? My opinion is no. My opinion is they sold out Chester County to advance a data center bill that may or may not be politically advantageous for them. And I am allowed to have that opinion.
There are certain aspects to both of these state reps that I actually used to like, but this shows their true colors doesn’t it and if you were voting in favor of PA HB 2151, you are voting against the best interest of your constituency from one end of the state to the other.
A vote for this bill removes rights from residents and municipalities, boroughs, etc.
Now more than ever find your state rep call them up and tell them to vote no on this. Find your state senator call them up and tell them to vote no on this.
Data centers are an even bigger threat than pipelines in some regards and I didn’t even think that was possible.
Yet here we are.
And shame on the leader leadership of the Chester County Democrats for also ignoring the best interests of all of the residents of Chester County.
It’s time for the boot lickers to go. Friel and Pielli should have Democrats primarying them. This bill is wrong. This push for data centers is wrong.
This is once again why you have to look at the individual candidates, not just their political persuasion when choosing who represents you.
Whether it is a local, state, or a federal election people need to wake up. If this bill becomes a reality, all Pennsylvanians will suffer. It is that simple.
Start sending emails start making phone calls. If you’ve already done it, do it again these people are supposed to represent us not special interests of the governor. A lot of these people are up for election this year.
It’s time to make these political boot lickers work for our vote.
Ahh birds of a feather on a Monday morning? State Representative Lisa Borowski who was a self- serving commissioner in Radnor Township is now an equally self-serving State Representative for Delaware County is a co-sponsor of PA HB 2151 which adds data center language dangerously so to the PA Municipalities Planning Code gets voted on this morning.
Lisa Borowski doesn’t give a good god damn about Pennsylvanians obviously and well if she’s elected again then Delaware County has lost its mind. She could’ve removed herself from the spill, but she just ignored everyone and went to her little petition signing parties. Of course she’s also let down a lot of Radnor residents recently on issues they are having where she promised to help.
Kristine Howard of course is the great invisible state representative representing parts of Chester county including East Whiteland, which is fighting a data center.
From Ginny Kerslake:
📌At 10 o’clock this morning, March 2 the Pennsylvania House Energy Committee will be voting on HB2151. You can watch the vote at the link below.
HB2151 will NOT put strict guardrails on data center development as some in Harrisburg are claiming. Expect the opposite from the Department of Community and Economic Development which has been working hand-in-hand with corporations like Amazon to fast-track projects and keep information from impacted communities. They should not be in charge of deciding what is reasonable for local data center ordinances – such things as setback distances from homes and schools or maximum allowable noise level levels.
All of these state representatives are on the ballot this year. Let’s see how they vote
Well I received word today that the ripoff furniture store owner from Malvern/Frazer was sentenced….finally. I mean, this has been going on for a couple of years or more.
So I am referring to Matt Kaplan of the now defunct M. Kaplan Interiors.
M. Kaplan Interiors was a furniture store and interior design firm owned by Matt and Margaret Kaplan. The business, which claimed a long history in the area, was closed following multiple allegations in 2023-2024 of widespread consumer fraud.
I only went in there once when I first moved to Chester County. I pretty much walked out the door minutes after I went in because I was just starting to look for a sofa for our living room and the woman on the floor, who I guess was his wife, was incredibly rude. And it was because I didn’t know what I wanted other than I didn’t want a huge sofa. I was just so uncomfortable. I left and I literally went across the street to resellers at the time and bought a vintage Chippendale sofa and had it recovered and rebuilt.
So today I was told Kaplan was sentenced today. Supposedly 6-23 months in Chester County Prison, 6 years probation, and he must make full restitution. He reports on Monday or something and has this weekend to get his life in order before going to jail.
My comment on the restitution is, I will believe it when I see it. Wonder what is happening with his wife? Because she was charged with a couple of things and I don’t know that they ever did anything with her.
Kaplan pled guilty this past September. See article embedded below and here is an excerpt:
WEST CHESTER — The owner of a now-closed high-end furniture store who was accused of taking money from multiple customers, some of them elderly, but not fulfilling their orders, has pleaded guilty to felony charges in the cases against him, some of which were filed more than two years ago.
As Common Pleas Court Judge Allison Bell Royer prepared to hear a pre-trial matter in the case of Matthew Kaplan on Sept. 2, his attorney informed the judge that his client would instead enter open pleas to four counts in the quartet of cases against him.
Kaplan, 56, of Abington, Montgomery County, pleaded guilty to two counts of deceptive or fraudulent business practices, a second-degree felony; passing bad checks; and theft by failure to make required disposition of funds, also a second-degree felony.
As part of the plea colloquy he signed, Kaplan admitted that from 2018 to 2022, in the course of doing business at M. Kaplan Interiors in Frazer, he “offered and exposed for sale and delivered less than the represented quantity of furniture, including to victims at or above 60 years of age.”….
Kaplan appeared before Judge Allison Bell Royer with his attorney, Mark Cerroni of Media. The guilty pleas came without an agreed-upon sentence between Cerroni and Assistant District Attorney Peter Johnsen, so Royer will decide his sentence at a later date.
Some similar charges are also pending against Kaplan’s wife, Margaret Kaplan. Her trial is pending.
This guy tanked a business that was started in like the 1920s. I find that amazing.
It took a while but justice was served. I wonder if they will just ignore his wife now that they have sentenced him? Only time will tell.
