Thanks, Bill.

I just saw that the Executive Director of the Lakewood YMCA is now regularly attending the meetings of the Active Living Task Force along with school board member Ms. Shaughnessy according to a letter posted here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13201

Your point is more important than people might think.

Can it really be that the Y was told to shelve its plans and get on board with the demolition of the hospital. Can it really be that the YMCA and others are be told to get on board or be left on the dock?

The Plain Dealer has done only one minor article about the lawsuit against the Clinic. Their article never even mentioned the Clinic. Is it fear or something else?

Who will speak up for the people of Lakewood?

That's a great question, Bill.

We know that Michael P. Summers won't speak up for the people of Lakewood.

Sadly, we also know that Michael P. Summers won't simply, "Go Now!"

City of Akron Press Release
From the desk of stephanie york
Published: 06-05-2015

Akron, Ohio (June 5, 2015) – In my last week in office as president of city council, I behaved inappropriately with a city employee, who came to my office to wish me well on my transition to mayor.

In the emotion of the moment, I turned a good-bye hug into a too-personal encounter. I have known this employee for over 14 years. We have always had a very professional relationship. And I clearly violated a professional and personal boundary.

Words cannot describe the remorse I feel for my actions.

I spent 37 years in law enforcement. I’ve spent years in service to Victim’s Assistance. I regret violating the very same principles I’ve spent my career upholding.

I offered my unconditional apology to this employee. I apologized to my wonderful wife of 25 years. I apologized to my cabinet members. And now, I offer my apology to the citizens of Akron who trust me to serve as mayor.

I take full responsibility for my actions. I know this incident calls my character and my trustworthiness into question. For this reason, I have decided that I will not be a candidate for election to mayor and I will not appear on the ballot in September.
I will do my best to serve as the city’s interim mayor and will pledge my support to the new administration when the new mayor is elected.

Damn!
I loved saying the name "Garry Moneypenny".
It's the funniest political name since "Carlos Danger".

It also sounds like a character from a comic book.
