Political Opportunist, You Are Correct...

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

Not if you are talking about Michael Skindell.

If you are talking about the "Political Action Committee" known as BuildLakewood, you
would be correct.

You tell me, Pick 2

1) Michael Skindell, life long Lakewoodite, served on council, gave up a successful private
practice to serve Lakewood and Ohio, coming back because of the lack of honesty,
transparency, and ethically challenged city hall. Something he has championed his entire career.

2) Mayor Michael P. Summers, successful head of his family business, but has somehow
arraigned a symphony of "grabbing headlines" for Mid-June - late October, all by chance.
Announce the hospital not closing, well closing, but we have $120 million, in development
never announced, followed by the LOI, followed by Subsidium, followed by The Active
Living Task Force, followed by Health Center, and Rec Center, and new foundation, followed
by Solistice Steps followed by...

3) BuildLakewood a "Political Action Group" since June 26, 2015, formed to take advantage
of an election and to "steer" the money laundering of publicly owned assets to the private
sector, and lobby, advertise, plot to change and influence elections for the personal gain of a few.

Interesting. The Clinic was happy to release plans in September, but the Mayor wanted
them in Mid-June, right after before the announcements, and right after filing deadline.

Talk among yourselves, don't let me influence you.

I always go back to this, substitute "political opportunist" for racist.



"Go home and be decent people.." In your hearts, you know what is right. When you look
across the dinner table at your kids, you know what is right. If you look back on what you
are most proud of, you know what is right.

This would be akin to having your friend invite you over for a nice quiet dinner and then serving it on TUPPERWARE you are selling, before the big AMWAY pitch, on their vacation time share they are hoping you can be a part of.

Why can't people just be honest?

It' all about character. They have backed themselves into a corner and they can't admit mistakes.
