This mayor could have been following the advice of Sam O'Leary because Mr. O'Leary claims in his campaign falsehoods that he "Advises Mayors and City Councils on best practices."

What bad luck!

Having to work for two municipalities that can't manage to comply with Ohio open meeting laws or Ohio public records laws.

Darn.

Those pesky laws.
