As a result of your hard work and toil, the City of Massillon has been able to spend your tax dollars on;
An unprofitable golf course
A restaurant at said golf course, without a business plan
The mortgage for a privately owned hotel
An arena that was never built
Unvoted, automatic annual pay raises for the mayor, city council, law director, auditor, and treasurer
The mortgage for a senior housing project, where the owner collects the rents and doesn't pay the mortgage (do we see a trend here?)
Repairing the mayor's street, based on the city engineer's "recommendation" and "ratings system"
Overtime for the mayor's appointees, including an extraordinary amount of overtime for the street superintendent who can't plow snow, and a parks director who blames the disgraceful state of our parks on "vandals," and not the hijacking of money that voters earmarked to improve our park system to subsidize a golf course.
Enjoy your day off, citizens of Massillon.
You sure have paid for it.
