No Response

"...he (Frank Cicchinelli), is an extraordinary mayor."
      - Former Safety Service Director Mike Loudiana

Extraordinary.

As is the choice the unfortunate voters of Massillon's First Ward face in the election in just two weeks time.

In one corner, we have Democrat Mike Loudiana, Safety Service Director to none other than our Once & Future Mayor for Life, Frank Cicchinelli.

Mike Loudiana, who as Safety Service Director milked our cash strapped City for extraordinary amounts of overtime.

Mike Loudiana, the right hand of the Once & Future Mayor for Life who must believe that the voters' repudiation of his former boss doesn't apply to himself.

That somehow he escapes the taint and the shenanigans of the Cicchinelli era.

Yesterday, the Independent newspaper published a story about the candidates in Massillon's First Ward. It also printed a candidate's profile which asked each candidate what the issue was in Massillon.

Under Mike Loudiana, the response was "none."

No issues.

When the Massillon Review's crack research team found the online candidate's profile on Cantonrep.com, the question posed to Mike Loudiana was;

"What will be the key issue facing your city over the next few years?"

Loudiana's response?

"No response"

No response.

No issues.

No problem here.

How about the fact that the handiwork of your former boss contributed greatly to Massillon being placed in fiscal emergency?

Could that maybe be an issue?

Maybe the issue is people running for council who don't know what the issues are, or who have "No response" to the question of "What will be the key issue facing your city?"

Based on these responses, we believe Mike Loudiana will be perfectly suited to grapple with the difficult and complex issues currently facing Massillon City Council.

Like who sits where at the meetings.
