Lack of transparency

In response to the well-written NewsLanc.com letter "F & M, General Hospital and newspapers thwart transparency", the author could not have made a more concise, clearer statement on the lack of transparency in Lancaster County. And is it a coincidence that these three members of the 'Big Five' are at the heart of the controversy?

In due time, there will be conclusive evidence that the other two members of the 'Big Five' have acted bountifully obsequious ...

We should be outraged at such abuses as the Norfolk Southern dumping site relocation project. But, alas, the majority of the county's citizenry doesn't show any emotion or fight (except for the small percentage -- the TRRAAC neighbors -- whose properties will be directly affected) about such outlandish projects being ushered through with such a cloak of transparency.

I am outraged. Why aren't you?
