The Observation Deck

In September of 2014:

Bruce Geiselman, Northeast Ohio Media Group wrote:Ethics additions

Among the substantive changes, the commission is proposing a new ethics section and training for the mayor and council to help them understand their duties and responsibilities. New training for council members would consist of at least four hours of instruction, and a new mayor would be required to take 16 hours.

"We thought the idea of providing training was important," commission Chairman Tom Brown said. "We tried to make it training that would be impactful but not too burdensome for people who have just run in an election."

Councilman Thomas Bullock said members are open to training requirements, and new Councilwoman Cindy Marx said she would find training beneficial.

The ethics section would add language calling for elected officials to treat citizens with respect, honesty and fairness.

Given ethics issues in the past decade, the commission decided it was important to "send the message that ethics is important to all of us," Brown said.

Officials did not elaborate.

That was a year ago. It proves that "dog won't hunt"---Summers is too far gone.

SUMMERS CANNOT BE TRUSTED IN WORD OR DEED !

Of course they would get the entire story wrong and end up being the shill for this
administration, yet again.

Steve Davis wrote the language and worked very hard to get the "ethics" change into
the charter others that found it to be not just a burden, but could cause unfounded
concerns by the residents.

After one would hope demanding ethical behavior from elected officials should not have to
be SPELLED OUT IN THE CHARTER. So as we came into the end of November and the
beginning of December it looked like the Charter would be going to the voters but
without a couple things including the ethics part.

So this was to be our last cover of the year, as a final push to get ethical behavior into the
charter one way or another.


This cover was prepared for the December issue, We thought the headline was unfair
as it seemed only the Council President was against the vote.

Instead, they shelved the Charter Vote until after the first of the year. As of a week ago,
the charter WAS NOT going to be put on the ballot. The fear was that it could get confusing
to voters with two charters changes on the ballot.

THEN POPPED UP THE SERIOUS ETHIC VIOLATIONS AT CITY HALL AND ALL OVER THIS DEAL.

Quick, call Bruce, he will write anything.

Now they are demanding the ethics change. ROFL

The fact is the courses are offered online to them now, and available to everyone at City Hall
it would be interesting to see how many the Council President, Tom Bullock and the Mayor
have taken already, and how many times they advised the courses to others.

MORE BULLSHIT SPIN AND COVER.

FWIW

If they cared about ethics, they would tell the truth, and tell their records department to
actually send out what was asked for in a timely manner.

Every written request is answered by a canned letter from Kevin Butler, illegal that asked
for the same clarification from everyone. No matter the request. We have collected bunches
of them for some coming investigation.

If they cared about ethics they would not pass over 15 qualified people for one unqualified
thug who real purpose was to keep people in line online and "get even" others.

They would put the deal on the table, WITH NO LIES.

Hospital is closing, Rec Center is a main part and has been for years and years, and they
know everything they are asking people to help them decide right now.

A total scam, scheme, or...
