The latest word on the street is that Stark County Prosecutor John Ferrero, and his Chief Counsel, the hungry, shoeless John Kurtzman tried to create a little chaos for Massillon City government.
And this has been shared with us by two separate faithful readers.
The story has it that Ferrero and Kurtzman, well known Aide-de-camps of our extraordinary former mayor, and also two of the Massillon Democrats who were eligible to vote earlier this week on the Central Committee to choose Massillon's new Council President and Treasurer, considered supporting a wild card candidate for Massillon Council President.
Scott Graber.
They thought Graber would "spice up" city government (actually the expletive inferred to rhymed with the word "duck").
Unfortunately, they couldn't rustle up more than a handful of votes for the idea, and subsequently dropped it.
John Kurtzman, who appeared to be working closely with Scott Graber ally Cynthia Ballas Bratton during the meeting itself, certainly should have followed through and nominated Graber.
The people present would have had more than one choice.
And choice is good.
And we assume Tony Townsend, sans the votes of John Ferrero, John Kurtzman, Cynthia Ballas Bratton, and Joy Cicchinelli would have still been easily selected.
And then Massillon residents could finally see first hand the true concern Ferrero and Kurtzman have for their municipal government.
