Just to clarify, it's Team Summers abuse of the Print Observer that concerns me.
The print paper allows City Hall unfiltered access to 10,000 readers (not to mention lots of hits online via sharing on social media).
That access is what Pae, Bullock, etc. crave.
Sadly, the print editors give them far too much leeway to spread their propaganda.....all while Team summers works to put the paper out of businesss.

I'm not concerned about the Deck.
KellyAnne and Company hate the Deck because their BS can be directly questioned here.
That's why she created the fake "Community" facebook page....so that the City Hall message can be monitored and controlled in a "safe zone".
They aren't coming here to participate....but they sure love to lurk!

City Hall still has many outlets to spread propaganda and outright lies, in my opinion. Patch, Cleveland.com, virtually all local TV media, OneLakewood.com, Lakewood Citizen, taxpayer-funded water bill inserts, and the list goes on.

I can't wait to see City Hall try to use these tools when it really hits the fan. It appears that we already don't have any money for cold patch, hydraulic fluid for city vehicles, graffiti removal tools, or manhole cover cushions. It will only get worse, folks. Wasn't one of Summers campaign features the fact that we had "rock-solid city finances"? Come on, Mike!

Wouldn't we all like to see the real checkbook and the real city budget?

Don't you think their failings are becoming more and more obvious?

More and more people everyday recognized 1) The City is is "cover their asses mode, only" 2) They can't put up in a real venue. Everything needs to be controlled and scripted.

I think it should be obvious, sh*tstirrers from outside sent in to destroy. in the end the Deck is pretty smart, pretty solid, and pretty damn correct. That is because it is not group think, it is not scripted, and it is full contact.

More thoughts on this, you have been around since the beginning.
Why would anyone let a bunch of thugs change what thousands have built?

I find it fascinating that they would attack a paper that printed stories of their sons and daughters, business and themselves.
Oh the paper was spot on about that those stories, but Essi, Markling, Kindt are wrong about the legal stuff, even when quoting the laws and providing links.

It shows their complete lack of intelligence, when they attack and inanimate object, with no meetings, no editorial board to decide of any group think, they are tagged with?

Again, the paper will remain open to all, with a some new twists.
