What Should I Do?

What should I do?

Should I admit that I've made mistakes?

"Cicchinelli said adding a third nine in 2002 was a mistake... "We can rehash all of it," he said, referring to the decision to pay just as much to build a third nine as the city did to build the first 18 holes." (The Independent, November 30, 2010)

Should I remind you that I've done this before?

"Cicchinelli still wasn't concerned because construction trailers and equipment have been removed from the site. He remains optimistic The Arena will be built" (The Repository, May 14, 2003).

Should I give you a history lesson?

"Cicchinelli claimed his plan was "not a big scheme to have the parks department cover the golf course's expenses" (The Independent, December 17, 2002).

"The Massillon Parks and Recreation Department will carry the remaining $174,000 of debt (on the golf course)" (The Independent, November 30, 2010).

What should I do?

Should I tell you how much fun we've had?

"On Tuesday, voters favored Cicchinelli, likely sending him to a sixth four year term" (The Independent, May 10, 2007).

Should I really believe I ruined my legacy?

"And I really feel bad for the mayor because every time someone comes up with something and is an independent thinker he thinks there has to be a conspiracy. The guy's got a serious case of paranoia" (Tony Townsend, The Independent, November 20, 2010).

"Cicchinelli is a vindictive, sociopathic control freak. He's running the city into the ground" (Andrew Oser, The Independent, October 29, 2010).

What should I do?

Should I accept my role as a villain?

"No one spoke in favor of Mayor Frank Cicchinelli's proposal to annex 78.3 acres of Tuscarawas Township land that includes The Tuslaw Local School District. But more than 100 people stood in council chambers Monday with their arms crossed and scowls written on their faces" (The Independent, August 17, 2010).

Maybe I should just disappear.

"Cicchinelli announced he would seek a seventh term in July. He has not yet taken out a petition but said Friday his plans have not changed" (The Independent, November 20, 2010).

Should I stop listening to my friends? They're my friends.

"The Mayor said he chose Pribich over Luckring because he wanted to go in a different direction" (The Independent, February 6, 2009).

"Like many others, Mayor Frank Cicchinelli said he was shocked when criminal allegations against (Kevin) Smith surfaced" (The Independent, March 1, 2010).

"One there will also be anti- (Mayor Frank) Cicchinelli people. If he says the sky is blue they will think it is green..." (Parks Czar Kenn Kaminski, The Independent, May 10, 2010).

Or should we just clear the deck and start over?

"Councilwoman Kathy Catazaro-Perry, a rumored candidate to challenge Cicchinelli for the Democratic nomination, has not made any announcement about her political future" (The Independent, November 20, 2010).
