Todd, I get my information from public records. Defaming my character is fine if it makes you feel better. At least I am not involved in what appears to be money laundering, etc. like your buddy Mike Summers is. And how about what appears to be covering up all the crime that is happening in Lakewood? Ten confirmed rapes and two unconfirmed, one being a two year old boy. I lost count seeing as most police reports now are labeled Departmental Information. How about the robberies and some at gun point? I could go on and on about your buddy, but, then I would have to do the work for you. I suggest that you search through public records. Oh, and yes, the Clerk of Courts refused to let my son and I view the Felony 4 that the city prosecuter and the judge dismissed. Felony 4 is procuring prostitution with children under the age of 16. The man moved from Clarence and has set up shop in another place in Lakewood. Just last weekend I believe there were four heroin overdoses in a 48 hour period.
I love my city and ran for Ward 3 council to try to make things better. I came in 4th with 10% of the vote. At least I am trying to make my community better, and yes, I support saving Lakewood Hospital. Check my records Todd. A couple of traffic tickets and a couple of small injury law suits. Have at it Todd! You appear to be doing nothing but mouthing off about things that you yourself cannot prove. What are you doing to help our city? Are you for saving Lakewood Hospital. Just curious. Have a nice rest of your day.
I love how at the end of your post, you try to play off like you have not been completely disrespectful and condescending by telling me to have a good day. I've read tons of information about the hospital deal and the lease and charter agreement and the lawsuit and the findings of the "independent investigators". I'm not at all ignorant, though I know the situation is much more complicated than those simple documents can explain. Everything in healthcare is non-transparent and a huge can of worms.
Mike Summers is not my buddy. You threw the first stone and tried to defame my character by calling me an operative for the Mayor, which you repeat over and over in this post (calling him my buddy). I was a member of SLH until recently when I decided that the issue is far too complex to put in the hands of a group of volunteers with no real power and I don't feel the hospital should be run by popular vote of the city either. That doesn't make me Mike Summers' buddy. I plan to vote for someone else in the election, and I want that person empowered to do what he feels is best on this issue, not have his hands tied by the the general populace. Popular does not equal right. You are also the person that hoped a vet would be awarded several million of our tax dollars because our Animal Control Officer was doing his job. That's not pro-Lakewoood at all.
I don't agree with calling for boycotts against any business for something as trivial as a belief about what should happen to a hospital. Amy Martin used the example of Chick-fil-a's anti-gay rhetoric and lobbying as a reason to boycott them. Yes! That was a company actively trying to discriminate against a huge segment of our society. That's not what this is at all. This is about a hospital.
