Milton S. Hershey was a man of integrity, of charity, a wise businessman, a man who had love for children and his community, a man who is literally larger than life as the community still reaps benefits from his life, passion, and work post humously. The Hershey Trust has a sketchy past upholding their duties to Milton, they've been forced to build an entire school after a watchdog sounded the alarm that they were hoarding the wealth violating the trust agreement. It's time to sound the alarm again.
The Hershey Trust is the controlling share holder for Hershey Entertainment and Resorts, the same that's inviting Tucker Carlson, the essential anti-Milton Hershey, to our community in September despite the violence and hate filled behavior from his supporters, despite the pleas from the community including long term business owners who have never spoken out against shows previously but are compelled to now due to the nature of this event. Tucker Carlson touts a special mystery guest who may be Trump himself trying to circumvent paying campaign fees that Chris Abruzzo from the local board of supervisors promised campaigns would pay to recoup costs to tax payers. There are many issues this event presents, significant liability as this event will not go on peacefully as his supporters will ensure that. That's the goal of his tour after all, not to educate or help people, but to sow discord and "make the establishment lose their minds".
Put the trust into the trust Hershey.
