The Observation Deck

What: a public record from Feb 2015 showing Bullock was on the "TEAM" of Insiders knowingly lying to the public about the value of the Hospital "deal"
When requested: March 15, 2015
When released June 14, 2017

Here is evidence (a public record) that Bullock knowingly lied to Lakewood---Bullock knew the hospital deal that he, Summers and CCF were selling was a lie all along, but he was in lock step jeopardizing people's health and the financial well being of the city---all for his own political fortune.

What kind of a man would go along with such a lie?
What kind of character does it take to do what he did?

Send this rat packing in November.

Note that Bullock likes rubbing elbows with like minded people:
Tom Gable--friends say he wouldn't do anything for "charity" unless there was a financial gain.
Bill Gorton--he signed the 1996 lease with CCF in order to curry favor with CCF to benefit his insurance business.
Ken Haber--afraid to speak out publicly to preserve his status and position.

The $120 million slide was demolished at the last meeting. As it should be as it is bogus. My strong
recommendation is to remove all reference to that unfortunate number.

Wow, this almost got buried in a hurry.

In my humble opinion, this is even more evidence that Mr. Bullock probably knew what was going to happen since before day 1.

How much wasted on studies, consultants, and the like when the plan was set in stone since day 1? These folks should have to pay us back.

Why?

Yes, it truly is an unfortunate number.

It was the number used to "sell" this deal to the voters and it was a totally BOGUS number.

Lakewood was lied to. No doubt about it.

There's about a 99 percent chance that this rat will hold his seat.
He's closely aligned with both the Republican money interests in this town and the Democratic Party machinery.
The only principles he holds is the craven need for re-election.
He's the walking embodiment of the neoliberalism that has destroyed the Democratic Party across this nation.

If you are right, then the majority of the people of Lakewood will be represented fairly.

However, I am not good at predictions since I am a virgin in local politics.
