McDonald has been trumpeting his "technology" efforts on radio and on his website.
You will notice the two similar statements quoted above. Yet in the December 2007 issue of The Pennsylvania Republican, on pg. 10, Steve McDonald says something else:
If one believed his website, radio promos, and posts by an infamous dick on Lancasteronline, one might believe that, much like Al Gore creating the Internet, Steve McDonald has created and "innovated" this eRecording technology - which was supposedly a "first".

Here is some history of the actual company that Steve appears to be taking credit for. The truth about eRecording and Simplifile.
McDonald claims he saved Lancaster over a million dollars and is making revenue for Lancaster County. However, the Lancaster County budget for 2008 tells the real story. The truth is, the Recorder of Deeds Revenues are down from last year by $95,150.
