The Observation Deck

Apparently, filing a false police report is not news, not worthy of discussion and certainly not a crime.

This corrupt Hospital deal is corrupting the entire process of government in the City.

A simple question: If the deal is so good why do they have to lie about it? Why do they have to use the power of the police to silence their critics?

JO'B...this one is a classic...nice work. Would that you could locate an IP address...that would be fun.

We won't yield to intimidation. Truth is on our side. While some council members may have had good intentions when they began, that has changed. Not one member of the previous council represented the people. Instead, they represented the CCF corporation. It is apparent that "bid rigging" was involved. Here is a link for anyone who does not know what "BID RIGGING" means:

We should all be outraged and united in our will to preserve our hospital. Once the decanting plan was exposed, I realized something very dishonest had occurred. I refuse to sit back and quietly accept this injustice. Our citizens, particularly the children, the elderly & the poor deserve better than this.

Having CCF Police and CCF to back him maybe that is why nothing in the world bothers Mayor Summers. Clearly Mayor Summers has taken bold moves in his quest for the Holy Grail. Altogether now what, is the Holy Grail?

I completely agree and am shocked at how many people are not outraged about this. When I first saw the decanting plan I talked to a Summer's supporter and said if he knew about the plan he is corrupt, and if he didn't, he's incompetent. Didn't change her mind.

Hence on the top of the latest observer...

Lakewood has become a strange place. The city that gave birth to community journalism and open conversation is afraid to speak up.

Ask any Mike supporters, if it was handled well, "No it was totally screwed up."

Ask if he lied, "Well sure he lied, but what was he going to do?"

There will be more and more documents to underline, the clinic was not holding anyone feet to any fire. Mike wanted them out and wanted the funds, to rebuild the failed attempt to build "DowntowN" and save some legacies. Some of Lakewood's best names were duped, and it is all gone.

I have seen some figures showing the true fallout from losing the hospital. The impact study the mayor never did. It will underline the city needs to get about $200,000,000 and acre over the next tens years just to break even on the impact.

OK City Hall, Mayor Summers you demanded a plan from Save Lakewood Hospital in 6 months. I can prove you have been working on this for 10 years, where is your plan?

Mayor Summers, will go down as the worst mayor in Lakewood's history.

If they are so easily duped, then they aren't actually "some of Lakewood's best names".
