Lakewood Sends Their "Building Hate" Statewide...

Postby Jim O'Bryan » Sat Feb 17, 2018 9:49 am

... Let's Counter That And Show Them the Lakewood We Were Famous For, Education, Love, Tolerance and Open Discussion!

Lakewoodites, right off their campaign on Building Hate errrrr Lakewood, now move into statewide politics or at least try to. Some of the integral players in Lakewood's past three years of lies, deception, cover-ups, faux public meetings, intimidation and let's never forget using new and innovative ways to try to destroy the little guys, are moving into running against each other :roll: in the pseudo roll of running for House District 13.

I am not sure why they believe the state of Ohio needs less honest, less transparent forms of government or why their ability to find new and disruptive ways to try to destroy the little guy are even needed at the Statehouse outside of their own sick form of ambition, but, we should remain ever vigilant and ready to alert all of the voters in House District 13, that these are not the people who can be trusted in higher office.

Recently I was in a discussion with some friends very active in the Lakewood Democratic Club about their backing of one of the candidates, and also talking with Democratic Leaders throughout Cuyahoga County about their particular backing of a candidate who not only worked overtime to break numerous sunshine laws (23 at last count), but also conspired to run Lakewood's largest employer and DowntowN anchor out of Lakewood. While helping to liquidate $178 million dollars in public assets into two small pools of money controlled in their entirety by two small groups of people who not only helped to orchestrate it but seemingly spent nearly a decade doing so in secret. The answer from the Lakewood Democrats was, "Well anyway getting him out of Lakewood is good for Lakewood, right?" Well no, you cannot reward bad behavior. If a dog pees on the $178 million Indian Rug, and you give him a biscuit, all he will do is continue to pee on the rug. The county Democrats blamed it all on the Lakewood Democrats, many of whom are just Republicans that have become embarrassed by being Republican or as many did, changed parties to vote Dennis Kucinich out of office in the primary. Hardly Democrats.

The good councilman Bullock, and now others have stood by while the city continues to hide important documents that courts have ruled have a rightful place in the sun, and in the hands of the residents of Lakewood. While watching the councilman yelling at a 60+ year old man for nearly 30 minutes in a local coffee shop, I could not help but notice how defensive and illogical he has become. When a court orders the City Administration to release all the documents, and that city administration continues to say no, one can only surmise there is something to hide. When a city spends years fighting residents in courts over whatever session of the trial has concluded these are PUBLIC DOCUMENTS, and the city continues to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars going from court to court to keep them secret, a sensible person and observer would conclude that what is being hidden is extremely serious and/or could net more than the hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines that could be levied for not complying with court orders.

Which brings us to the obvious Observation, replacing the brand of a progressive city on the edge of an Emerald Canyon dedicated to education, learning, intelligence and open discussion with one of lies, cover-ups, misrepresentation, hate, illogical behavior, intimidation, childlike baseless attacks, and incredible divisiveness. Now recognized as such by three different courts, and three completely different independent legal bodies. It all originates from City Hall. City Hall the very place where openness, kindness, independence, and fairness, have become not just evil, but potentially a criminal enterprise, without access to the documents we can only base it on what we see, what we know, what others write and from imagining what City Hall is hiding, with the help of key members of council that all have personal reasons to be complicit in the now massive cover-ups.

We must now all work together not to kick the nasty lying can of bad government down the road to the Statehouse, but to move it to the garbage can. Let's be honest, most of this rubbish has become so tainted recycling it is just a fairy tale. Toxic garbage has to be double bagged, put in containers that can never leak, and buried deep in a landfill, which is to say they should never be allowed near public office again, where they can play their sick games at the expense of the poor, the weak and the unsuspecting. Now Lakewoodites must rise up and use not just our votes, but our voices to warn others. These people who call themselves candidates can never be trusted with the public trust again.

To borrow and paraphrase a slogan from a potential candidate for House Seat 13, "Let's work together in public to find new and innovative ways to destroy corruption, lies, misrepresentation, cover-ups, intimidation, and illogical if not completely illegal actions."

Vote and promote, the most honest, the hardest working, and smartest politician to come out of Lakewood, vote for Michael Skindell.

Sounds typical of Lakewood, nothing has changed in the last 30 years. However, only the lazy or a fool will pull a single level, punch a single push out card or touch a one button on a screen at the voting booth and if you do, you get exactly what you deserve.
