The Observation Deck

I just got a telephone survey. The survey was being conducted by Project Govern. However, the name of the company was not disclosed until the end of the recording (which is against FCC regulations, I believe).

The survey asked my opinion of these people, favorable or unfavorable: Skindell, Mark A. Schneider, Summers, Nate Kelly, Nickie Antonio, and Martin Sweeney.

Then I was asked how I would be voting for council at-large if the election were held today: Bullock, Meghan George, Nowlin, Marx, Rader, or Taubman.

Then I was asked demographic information, race, sex, etc. as well as party affiliation.

The survey also included a question regarding whether Cuyahoga County was moving in the right or wrong direction.

Project Govern, the surveyor, has a website that is under construction, and probably will be for eternity. Project Govern was just filed on 1/13/17 with the Secretary of State. The registered agent is a Chris Glassburn of North Olmsted. Glassburn was Armond Budish's campaign manager, and now has a sweet job in the Budish administration.

Wait! I was lying all along about Budish and our county friends being involved, right?

FWIW, another family member of mine got a similar survey from Project Govern on Saturday.

Apparently, Mr. Glassburn lived in Lakewood on Manor Park in 1997. Interesting.

Rumor has it that Bullock will run for State Rep. Wow!

He was one of the folks involved in the alleged immoral and illegal hospital giveaway.

Good Lord, could you imagine the damage this man could do at the State level?

I believe when everything that pertains to the hospital deal comes out, Mr. Bullock's political career will more than likely be over.

Is Antonio planning on running for State Senate? As if a person like her could ever replace Michael Skindell.

At least Mr. Skindell didn't infiltrate other's campaigns pretending to be something they are not, and then taking the information back to the other side.

I cannot help but believe that Ms. Antonio is somehow involved in the hospital ordeal, along with other issues in Lakewood.

Perhaps, in the end, Ms. Antonio's political career may come to an end also.

Thank you Mike Skindell for truly caring about people and making sure you constituents come first and not your own self interests. . They don't make them like you anymore. Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned by Summers, Council, and Antonio!

Another call from Project Govern tonight (A.K.A. Armond Budish's campaign manager), conducting another survey.

Three calls in less than four days.

The bigger question is: who is funding this? You must have a fat wallet to be able to make three calls to the same house in less than four days.

Hmm...Mike Summers? Tom Bullock? Nickie Antonio? Armond?

The possibilities are endless. So many questionable characters, so little time! The characters funding this survey are probably as dubious as most of the subjects of their survey appear to be!

What are the phone numbers they are calling from? I ask because I screen a lot of my calls and I'd be curious about these.
