Let's Talk About Rick Uldricks aka "The Lakewood Citizen"

[Jim O'Bryan]

After years and years and years of utter bullshit, the police advised me to go public with this. Yes, the Lakewood Police Department did, in fact, tell me to write my story. So, I am.

And, yes, this story has gone through the review of my lawyers who have looked at the documents and been with me through this..

Rick Uldricks - owner of The Lakewood Citizen, and new hire at the Lakewood Building Department, Mayor Summers Campaign, and a listed supporter of Build Lakewood - has a very long history of using many, many fake names on any site that he can create or troll just so he can spread lies, mistruths, about anyone he dislikes or those who write for The Lakewood Observer or post on the Deck.

The Mayor, Dru Siley, Build Lakewood, and many others are well aware that Rick Uldricks has this - let's just call it a problem for now.

Rick Uldricks has admitted to me - in writing (yes others have read it* including my lawyers and police).

Rick Uldricks seems to get in when people need him to create a lot of hysteria without any real support in numbers.

At The Lakewood Citizen, he has blocked anyone who does not agree with him or posts comments contrary to the facts. Ask Matt Markling, Ryan Salo, Mike Deenen, and countless others. Which is his right, but let’s get rid of the idea of balanced or fair on his one man blog called, "The Lakewood Citizen." While it pains me, I encourage you to go and visit Rick Uldrick's personal blog so you can see that it is nothing more than a propaganda machine for Team Summers and Build Lakewood.

Meanwhile, here at The Lakewood Observer, we have blocked Rick Uldricks - only him - because he has consistently tried to screw with people here, and after being given a timeout for bad behavior, continues his mischief. Rick Uldricks has tried to find out where Grace O'Malley lives, as well as other female posters on the Deck.

While we don’t know how, Rick Uldricks somehow took over The Lakewood Observer Facebook page and after many months of threatened legal action we were finally able to get it back. The same was true of Twitter, although less legal work was involved.

It should be pointed out that Mayor Summers and Dru Siley hired Rick Uldricks for the Building Department over approx 15 other applicants and we are still sorting through the public records regarding that process.

As a Building Inspector, Rick Uldricks has access to your personal information, think about it. Mayor and Safety Director Mike Summers employed Rick Uldricks to go into your backyards and through your records.

Dru and the Mayor see it as no big problem, probably because the LO was concentrating on how screwed up City Hall and the Hospital Deal was and is.

If this was a teenager, you would be upset. But this is an adult with kids who should know better. It is sick.

Why anyone would sign on to anything that Rick Uldricks is connected with is beyond me, but maybe that is what the Mayor wants - argue with the Mayor and you need to deal with his hired thugs.

This has been going on in my life for 8 years. I never made much about it. But this is an important election, and we really need to know that what we are reading is real.

I have gone to the city with a complaint, and also went to the police.

It is hard to track down fakes names, and people posting and deleting, the police said to me, you have the proof, write the story. So, again, I am now writing my story ...

City Hall Has Lost Its Moral Compass!

* Now that my wife and I have gone public on this, I have no problem publishing the texts, letters, and exchanges online and in print.

WE JUST WANT THE BULLSHIT TO STOP IT IS GETTING OLD!
