Yes, we get emails from our faithful readers.
We thought we would share and respond to a few of them.
"David Hersher is probably the smartest person on city council. He has a deep grasp of the issues and knowledge about finance. Why do you pick on him all the time."
David Hersher, aka "Taxman" Hersher may be the smartest guy in town. He may have an IQ of 180.
Unfortunately, it appears to many he lacks independence, and it seems he supports Massillon's Extraordinary Mayor for 78 Days 100% of the time.
If he has an original idea, we have yet to see it.
"It was Frank Cicchinelli who was behind Judge Elum's complaint. It was done by police chief Williams and Fred Stergios who is the uncle of law director Perry Stergios..."
Shocking. Just shocking. Who could possibly believe our mayor would go to such extremes to destroy someone who doesn't agree with him? We are indeed shocked, surprised and stunned at this allegation.
"The newspapers won't write about it, but you guys are right. Massillon can't pay its bills. The city is broke and Jayne Ferrero is covering Frank's ass as best she can... everyone knows it is only a matter of time before the state has to come in and take over..."
Word on the street is strong that the city has abdicated bill paying. Our guess is that they will save a mountain of bills for the incoming mayor, with little money on hand to pay them. We realize what is truly important in Massillon municipal government. "Covering Frank's ass."
"I drove down the mayor's street the other day and it is not in that bad of shape..."
So did our crack Massillon Review research team. It certainly does not appear to be one of the "five worst streets in the city." It needs some patching along some of the concrete seems, the emphasis on some, but there are far worse streets. But hey, who are we to question City Engineer Dylewski's patented street ratings system?
And our favorite;
"Lee Brunckhart may be the 'Common Man,' but he has 'Extraordinary' friends."
Indeed. It appears so.
