A flurry of last minute activity from Massillon's Extraordinary Mayor for 10 hours has been going on all day at City Hall.
The mayor is huddled with his staff making sure they spent the city's last dollar.
The First Lady is hurriedly posting on the Independent comment site.
Final overtime is being approved for the departing mayor's department heads.
Unpaid bills are being boxed, and labeled with "To Kathy, From Frank."
And Lincolnway is starting to fill up as native born Massillonians, Cicchinelli supporters all, have come to pay their respects as their Extraordinary Leader leaves City Hall for the last time as mayor.
The crowd of Pro-Cicchinelli supporters is expected to be so large and so overwhelming that we hear Fire Chief Burgasser is contemplating calling in the National Guard to help maintain order in downtown Massillon.
"With all due respect, I'd like to have one week's notice," Burgasser said. "I think that (Police) Chief (Robert) Williams would agree. We need to have time to call in the National Guard..." (Fire Chief Tom Burgasser, The Independent, March 26, 2011).
