The Observation Deck

What won't they think of next?

Hi Bill,

Could you please post a link? If you are going to post something this inflammatory, it would help to be able to read the actual post in context rather than guessing. Thanks!

Bullock is shameless and is playing a HOAX on the LGBT community.

The Master Agreement gave lip service to the LGBT health center features---there is nothing specific--there is nothing legally enforceable.

After 12 months of ignoring the LGBT "features" of the Master Agreement, Bullock and the Insiders Club this weekend claim that's a reason to vote "For 64."

If they cared so much about the LGBT community, why didn't the Insiders PAC put that on their campaign literature?

It's another hoax that the LGBT community should see right through.

Hi Brian, that is, indeed, an odd link to what is going on. Appreciate your thoughts on this. Cheers,

A cynical attempt to pit the gay community against the poor and elderly.
Not a surprise.....as I've said before, Bullock is the most dishonest politician I've met during my 25 years of community activity.

I thought the same thing when I saw that article. They are really reaching... talk about sheer desparation. There is absolutely nothing positive or LGBT friendly about issue 64.

....well stated, Mike.

Stay classy*, For 64 campaign.

* Yes, that's sarcasm.

Bullock needs to give us gays more credit. We are not gullible as he apparently believes.

Throughout all of 2015-2016, we've heard on numerous occasions at press conferences and public forums from CCF's:
1. Dr. Toby Cosgrove
2. Dr. Brian Donely
3. Dr. Stephen Jones
4. Dr. Judith Welsch
5. Shannon Ritchie
6. Ankit Chaabra
7. Tom Gable
8. Bill Gorton
9. Numerous captive LHA trustees, etc.

No once did even one of them mention the LGBT features of the "new sate of the art specialty referral center" designed to divert the "premium payer mix" out of Lakewood.

Now CCF's captive stooge, Tom Bullock, plays that "card."

Hmmm

It's called PANDERING.

Pathetic. I suspect Nickie Antonio is out there spreading this nonsense for Summers & Co. as well. After all, she is siding with Summers & Co. now, right?

That's correct, the turncoat knows no shame.

Shame on her.

Sometimes I wait just to see if there is any interest. I also waited to see if anyone else had seen the Patch article.

The addition of the LGBT clinic was an after thought added at the last minute by the Cleveland Clinic. It is more a political and campaign gimmick that anything else.

Bullock has made an odd accusation.

So... Lakewood loses a hospital, access to health care, 1,500 jobs, tens of millions in cash and investments and hundreds of millions in economic activity and if you think the City made a bad deal then Tom Bullock says you must hate gay people. Is this the best they can do? Maybe it will work. We will find out tomorrow.

One of the things I find interesting is that the City and the Clinic haven't spent any time at all bragging about all of the new services that will be offered in the new medical office building. Is it because there is nothing to brag about?
