Why not put it back into the American till? Haven't we wasted enough tax money on that foolish venture?

Some people just can't get past all that old Lauxmont crap and see this for what it is - York County residents get to benefit from federal dollars that would otherwise go to Philly or P'burgh or somewhere else. I say great job to Penndot and and the heritage group on working out a plan to use it build something for us to enjoy with our families and visitors. And with all the money that the current commissioners spent to make to make the Kohrs shut up we sure as heck ought to have more stuff built to help us use the place - which is stunningly beautiful by the way. Maybe all you negatoids can just stay away and let the good people enjoy it.

I agree. Get rid of all socialist taxes. I am tired of paying for public parks that I don't use. You want grass to run around in. Then buy a house with a yard. Get rid of public libraries. You want to read, buy a book. Support your local bookstore not a taxpayer funded library. Get rid of public schools. You have kids, pay to educate them yourselves. Get rid of state colleges. You want your kids to have a college education, then pay for it. You had the kids. Start charging a user fee per kid for health care.
DUMP SOCIAL SECURITY NOW as it is bankrupting this county and isn't going to be here for anyone under the age of 30 as it is. Stop fleecing the young wage earners. Dump that socialist program Medicare too. It is bankrupting the country too. Look at the health care protests, the senior citizens don't want government health care so give them what they want. ELIMINATE MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY NOW!

When money that has been granted for one purpose is redirected and spent for something else, it would seem that you have the classic definition of "misappropriation of government funds".
Why is no one challenging this?
And why has there been no petition for the state to conduct a complete and thorough investigation of the entire Lauxmont fiasco?

There should be an investigation as to why the Commissioners did not appeal the exorbitant award given to the Lancaster developer. Nothing done by them; determined to make an example of "taking from the many to give to the few".
