LHA, Bullock, Madigan, CCF and Butler all colluded to concoct a contract structure in the hopes of nullifying the referendum that they all knew was sure to be mounted by SLH--and it was mounted.

Council, no longer cares about citizens. I have stated it for awhile, since FitzGerald Days. Residents are a pain in the ass, except election time where they lie to us.
Lakewood, and Lakewood Politics are becoming pretty infamous in the county.
Another Mayor and Council making us the laughing stock of the county.

Read David Stein's letter to Council and the Mayor, "We must not let this fall apart like the West End did. We cannot allow the public to vote on this." It's hemorrhaging, look at the last council
Jim, Is there a link to Mr. Stein's take on democracy in America. If so I would be very interested .
