We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?

Prosecutors allege that Harry Hartman, 54, engaged in a scheme between May 2023 and August 2024, during which he unlawfully removed packages from the Gettysburg Post Office. These packages were reportedly intended for delivery to Gettysburg College’s Print Center & Post Office, where they were to be made available to the final recipients. The charges were filed through a criminal information, a method that often indicates a plea agreement may be under discussion, though no details were disclosed.
The investigation was conducted jointly by the United States Postal Inspection Service and the United States Postal Service – Office of Inspector General. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney K. Wesley Mishoe. Authorities emphasized that a criminal information is not a conviction; Hartman is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
If convicted, Hartman could face up to five years in prison, supervised release, financial penalties, and a special assessment. Sentencing, if applicable, would be determined by a federal judge under statutory guidelines and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines framework.
