SSUMMERS DESPERATELY SEEKS ENDORSEMENT
Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2016 11:09 am
Mike Summers and his faithful followers on Council are desperately seeking an endorsement--any kind of an endorsement--for his futile attempt to shoot down those urgent voters to vote AGAINST Issue 64.
Last month, at a raucous, sometimes out of control Lakewood Democratic Club meeting, he and his allies failed in a sneak attack on the VOTE AGAINST ISSUE 64 group, by scheduling an endorsement vote at that meeting. It blew up in their collective faces. The club leadership looked foolish in its attempt, which included clandestine moves to delay or deny access to the club's membership membership list so that members could be alerted about the meeting within the club's own required notification time frame.
However, it was reported that Tom Bullock had the list before others and was strutting about the room like a proud peacock. Summers and his allies looked more grumpy and nervous as the evening wore on and all of their attempts to pull of a fast one were defeated in multiple votes led by State Senator Mike Skindell and his allies.
So in preparation for the next monthly club meeting on Thursday, Sept. 29th, Summers and company have appealed to the heavy hitters at the County Democratic Partyand even convinced them to come Mahall's to endorse his bad deal ordinance that robbed this city of its largest employer and hospital in order to help his pals at the Clinic.
Tomorrow night's (Sept. 27th) meeting at the bowling alley's second floor starts at 7 PM and is open to the public. It is befitting that this no-so-veiled attempt to grab any kind of endorsement is being held in the very place where secret meetings were held to hatch plans to deceive the public about the truth of closing Lakewood Hospital.
By the way, Mahall's is now owned by Summers' public information officer, Colin McKewen.
No doubt we will see former council member Mary Louise Madigan there as well as many countywide committee members.
Madigan was promoted to a high paying job as spokesperson for the County's government.
I have been told by a couple of veteran Democratic committee members that they cannot remember an instance where the whole countywide committee went to a particular city to endorse a local issue.
Remember that Lakewood is a unique also in the United States for its politicians worked hard to drive out more than 1,100 jobs, lose millions of dollars, and aid unabashedly in closing its acute care hospital in order to favor their friends and aid a multi-billion non-profit health care system.
The National League of Cities last year said there are more than 19,000 cities, villages and townships in our nation and they never heard of a mayor and city council actively work to drive out jobs!
Also, I am waiting for all of those people from all over the country who were were supposed to flock here to see so called world class care, according the Clinic doctors who told Council and people that would come about, if we allowed them to close our hospital!
Reject the lies and VOTE AGAINST Issue 64 and show these errant politicians that this community knows a very bad deal when it sees it!
